Leeds United prepare £17.5m transfer offer for Ruben Vargas as sources speak out
Leeds United are about to raise the stakes on Sevilla with an offer for forward Ruben Vargas in the winter transfer window.
The Whites have their eyes on the Switzerland international and are ready to bid £17.5million for him in January.
Vargas has emerged as a target at Elland Road, and his situation at the LaLiga outfit will be one to keep an eye on.
Daniel Farke is embroiled in a Premier League relegation battle, and fans in LS11 will surely be expecting business to be done in the coming weeks.
Sevilla to consider Leeds United offer for Ruben Vargas amid financial difficulties
Sources at Sevilla have admitted that they will evaluate all options regarding Vargas, according to OrgulloBiri.
The news outlet reports on 16 December that while the 27-year-old is a key player for the Spanish club, they are open to his sale.
It’s been claimed that apart from interest from Elland Road, Olympique Marseille have also made contact to understand the forward’s current situation at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuán Stadium.
With Farke without Dan James for a considerable period due to injury, it isn’t surprising to see the West Yorkshire outfit look to reinforce their attack in the upcoming transfer window.
Daniel Farke to use one Elland Road example to convince Ruben Vargas of transfer
Noah Okafor has established himself in the Premier League since moving in the summer from AC Milan.
The Swiss national has started in 10 of his 13 Premier League appearances as Farke looks to avoid relegation.
Considering the opportunities the 25-year-old has had in LS11, it could convince his compatriot to join him from Sevilla.
Vargas has scored three goals and provided four assists in 12 league matches this season, but it remains to be seen whether he will move to West Yorkshire soon.
