Leeds United stance on Wilfried Gnonto emerges amid Everton transfer twist
Leeds United are likely to be open to allow Wilfried Gnonto to leave this summer as Everton have rekindled their interest, according to the Times.
The news outlet reported on 15 July that as the Whites failed to secure promotion last season, an exit for the Italy international appears to be on the cards.
The Toffees had shown genuine interest last summer as well but the 20-year-old stayed put at Elland Road.
Leeds United must demand as much money as possible from Everton for Wilfried Gnonto
Leeds can inflate the price as Gnonto is a young, talented player with significant potential.
He has already made a name for himself in Italy and has shown promise in the Premier League.
The Whites need to recoup as much money as possible from player sales to reinvest in the squad and prepare for the next season and not securing promotion is unacceptable.
Selling Gnonto for a high price will provide the club with funds to strengthen other areas of the team.
To increase the price, Leeds can highlight Gnonto’s potential and the interest from other clubs and can also put add-ons that can be easily attained.
It seems plausible that the Italy international would want to leave for a top-flight club after staying with them for a season in the Championship.
