That attention is coming from Leeds, who are bracing themselves for the exit of Raphinha by trying to wrap up a deal for Sinisterra this summer.
In fact, we could see a deal struck rather quickly, with the winger potentially arriving in the coming days.
Here is what we know so far about the possible transfer.

Talks are progressing behind the scenes, with Leeds on track to land the Colombian winger despite him only extending his Feyenoord deal last year.
Medical soon
César Luis Merlo believes Leeds are even further along than expected with the move, already striking an agreement with both Feyenoord and the winger.
Merlo claims a club-record deal worth just over £21million upfront plus around £4million in add-ons has been struck.

Contract situation
Sinisterra extended his Feyenoord contract last year to take him up to 2024.
He recently said he is ‘happy’ with the Dutch club, preferring not to move unless the club wanted to sell him.
The offer from Leeds appears to have changed everything, with Feyenoord tempted by the money, and the winger lured by the opportunity of playing in the Premier League.
Sinisterra will feel he has earned the opportunity after putting up excellent numbers across Eredivisie and Conference League last season.
