Salzburg could reluctantly agree to sell Aaronson if Leeds table huge offer
Leeds United are preparing a second bid for RB Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson after £15million was rejected, according to Express Sport.
The Elland Road outfit had no plans to be active in the January market, but Victor Orta believes moving for the United States international, 21, is an opportunity that aligns with their long-term vision.
While the Austrian heavyweights are not keen to sell Aaronson this month, that could change should the Whites’ second bid represents an irresistible proposition.

With Salzburg keen to impress when they take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16 next month, it is understandable that they are not open to selling the attacker right now.
They fancy their chances of causing an upset with such a player in their ranks, and that means a lot.
Leeds and other suitors will have a better chance of landing Aaronson during the summer window, but a juicy deal will force their hands right now as is often the case with these types of deals.
The Whites want to strengthen in the middle of the park given their current struggles and injury blows, and while they are no longer in the relegation discussion following their first-ever back-to-back Premier League wins of the season, making quality additions this month remains necessary.
Aaronson will help improve the current Leeds squad given his huge quality, and he has a lot of resell value that could fetch them a lot of millions given his age and massive potential.
