Leeds United transfer news as Wilfried Gnonto faces Elland Road exit this summer
Wilfried Gnonto wants to leave Leeds United and has already begun to look for a new club, according to Francesco Guerrieri.
The Calciomercato journalist reported on 26 May that the 20-year-old wants to return to Italy, which is his home country.
If an offer arrives from the Serie A, those clubs will have priority over ones in other countries.
Via Twitter, Guerrieri wrote: “Wilfried Gnonto wants to return to Italy. The Leeds striker is looking for a new club, if offers from Serie A arrive they will have priority.”
Wilfried Gnonto already tried leaving Leeds United last summer
The failure of Leeds to secure promotion to the Premier League has significant implications, one of which is the potential departure of key players.
Gnonto’s situation clearly highlights how missing out on promotion can lead to the loss of important players who are eager to play at the highest level.
The Italy international’s desire to leave Leeds is not a new development.
He wanted to leave last summer, which suggests that his dissatisfaction with the club’s performance or his personal ambitions have been brewing for some time.
The fact that he is now actively seeking a move away underscores the urgency of his desire to leave.
If Gnonto does leave, the Whites will not only lose a talented player but also the potential transfer fee they could have received from a non-Italian club.
This could have a significant impact on the club’s financial situation and its ability to strengthen the squad for the next season.
