Leeds United ‘told multi-million release clause’ for Vladyslav Vanat transfer
Daniel Farke has a busy summer ahead of him, as he looks to add to his Leeds United squad in preparation for life in the Premier League.
Despite gaining promotion as champions of the second tier this season, the Whites need to ensure they make the necessary additions to stop them coming straight back down to the Championship.
Although the transfer window is yet to open, Leeds have already been linked with several names, with plans for business well underway at Elland Road.
Leeds told condition for Vladyslav Vanat transfer
One area where Leeds certainly need to add to their side is in the final third, with Joel Piroe the only genuine option as it stands.
Patrick Bamford, Mateo Joseph and Joe Gelhardt are all linked with moves away from Elland Road this summer, with none doing enough to convince that they would be what’s needed in the top flight either.
While Piroe has been the standout for the Whites this season, getting his hands on the Championship golden boot, he did not break the 20-goal barrier, suggesting the need the reinforcements.
Vladyslav Vanat is one man who has been linked with a move to West Yorkshire to solve these problems.
Leeds have been told so far that if they want the Dynamo Kyiv man, they will have to wait until the Ukrainian side has played their Champions League qualifying matches.
According to Futbol 24 (20 May), if Farke did want to strike a deal, there is a release clause of £16.8million in his contract which Leeds would have to meet.
Leeds to explore Vanat transfer
There is no doubt that striking reinforcements are needed and it seems as though Farke is already well underway with identifying potential replacements.
Vanat has had an impressive season in the Ukrainian Premier League and, on that basis, could be a good signing for the Whites.
| Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| 27 | 17 | 3 |
However, it may be a bit of a risk coming from the Ukrainian league with no idea of how he would be able to adapt to life in the English top flight.
The Whites have also been linked to Jamie Vardy and Callum Wilson this summer, both strikers who have shown their abilities in the Premier League, but are now reaching their twilight years.
Therefore, the West Yorkshire outfit has to weigh up whether they would rather make a move for the 23-year-old and hope he is on the way up.
