Leeds United keeper Illan Meslier attracting interest from top clubs
Leeds United are reportedly braced to lose players this summer with goalkeeper Illan Meslier also wanted by the top teams.
According to the Daily Mail, along with Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha, the Frenchman is also being linked with an exit.
The 22-year-old has been the undisputed number one in the Premier League for Leeds and his stock appears to be at an all-time high.
Will he leave?
We knew that Meslier was going to blossom into a top keeper eventually but even though he’s not there yet, he’s still being wanted by the big clubs.
That is testament to the work he’s put in at Thorp Arch and what the likes of Marcelo Bielsa and the other coaches have done to make him the player he is.
Most clubs looking to sign a number one for the long term cannot look past Meslier as an option, at the very least.
Leeds fans will surely be torn apart if all three of their prized assets will leave in the summer.
While they might eventually go, we do not see all going in the same window.
As things stand, Raphinha’s exit appears to be the likeliest as Barca, PSG and Liverpool are all circling around him.
Hopefully, the club do not budge from their valuation of the player and ask these teams to pay a record fee in order to part ways with him.
