Leeds United transfer news as Napoli and Juventus enter Wilfried Gnonto race
Napoli and Juventus are also keen on securing the services of Leeds United midfielder Wilfried Gnonto this summer, according to 90Min.
The English media outlet reported on Friday (11 August), that the Whites want £30million in order to part ways with the 19-year-old Italy international.
They hoped to agree a loan deal with an option to buy but that does not seem likely, as things stand.
Keep him
The value mentioned above is a fair fee for a player of Gnonto’s calibre and despite not being a first-team regular last season, he proved his worth.
He was signed for an extremely low fee and the Whites have every right to make a decent profit from his sale this summer.
However, they would want to keep him as he will tear the Championship by storm and be an important player for them.
He’ll certainly be among the best wide attackers and could go on to have an impressive season for the club and get them back to the Championship.
Napoli and Juventus are both unlikely to have that kind of money to sign him which is why a loan deal perhaps suits them better.
That is not what will suit Leeds and the fact that he’s got no relegation clause allows them to be in the driver’s seat.
In other Leeds United news, the club could look to rekindle their interest in a Golden Boot winner who Daniel Farke will love and it will take £15million to get the deal done.
