New update on ‘Serious’ Leeds talks to sign centre-forward today as club chief speaks out
Stuttgart’s sporting director Sven Mislintat has confirmed that Leeds United had a “serious” interest in signing striker Nicolas Gonzalez.
The Daily Star had reported that Leeds were plotting an £18million move for Gonzalez, 22, as, according to the Mirror, Marcelo Bielsa felt he would be able to take the Premier League by storm next season.
However, it seems as though Leeds’ pursuit of the Argentina international has reached a dead-end, based on Mislintat’s latest update.
“I don’t see [a departure] coming for now,” said Mislintat today [Monday], as quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
