Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan insists Raphinha cannot be sold this summer.

The Brazilian winger is interesting Liverpool for the summer market.

But Whelan told BBC Leeds: “They can knock on the door, but we are not a selling club. We are not a club in financial difficulties.

“We are building a team, and he is part of this rebuilding process.

“We are going to add other players – that's going to complement him. If we sell him, that's a travesty; it goes against what we are trying to do.

"I do not think that the regime here, that is what they want to do. They are building, they are happy."
