Gabriel Sara transfer: Multi-million pound update emerges after Leeds approach

Leeds United could potentially have to spend a significant sum to sign Galatasaray midfielder Gabriel Sara this transfer window.

The ex-Norwich City star is wanted at Elland Road, with the Whites enquiring about him recently as they look to bolster their midfield.

Daniel Farke wants Sara as one of his options ahead of next season, with Joe Rothwell and Josuha Guilavogui leaving.

The Brazilian ace enjoyed an impressive season in the Super Lig, and the Turkish outfit have now set his price tag.

Galatasaray want £25m+ for Sara transfer amid Leeds United interest

Galatasaray will let Sara leave for a little over £25million in the coming weeks, according to Fotomac.

The news outlet reports (17 June) that the Super Lig champions are open to his exit if their demands are met, with his contract in Istanbul running until 2029.

It’s been claimed that Inter Milan and Manchester United have the 25-year-old on their radar, amid interest from Elland Road.

While the central midfielder has proven his talent in Turkey, it remains to be seen whether 49ers Enterprises will be convinced to invest a significant sum in him.

Leeds fans want to see transfer business done quickly

Leeds announced Lukas Nmecha as their first signing of this summer transfer window, but more additions will undoubtedly be needed up front.

Jaka Bijol also looks set for a move to Elland Road soon, and now fans are anticipating further transfers quickly.

With the Whites winning promotion to the Premier League, it would make sense for them to improve their squad depth.

Farke was forced to sign Guilavogui in October last season after Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev picked up injuries.

While Ao Tanaka and Rothwell’s partnership helped the West Yorkshire outfit during a tough period, they can’t take the same risk in the English top flight.

If the Whites want to have the best chance of avoiding immediate relegation from the Premier League, they should provide the German manager with the right tools.

Sara could be a decent addition for the Peacocks, but his price tag may put them off.

The Elland Road faithful are looking forward to an exciting summer in LS11, and the Brazilian midfielder’s situation will be one to watch closely.
