Willy Gnonto arrives at Inter Milan headquarters to sell Leeds United star to Serie A giants
Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto could be set for a move to Inter Milan, according to FC Inter News.
The Italian outlet has reported (28 June) that Gnonto’s agent, Claudio Vigorelli, is currently in Milan to discuss his client’s availability.
Vigorelli has travelled to the club’s headquarters to inform them of Gnonto’s willingness to leave Leeds with the player open to a return to Inter, which could become a real possibility if the Nerazzurri can sell Joaquin Correa this summer.
Gnonto is currently representing Italy at the European Under-21 Championships with his future likely to be resolved following the conclusion of the tournament.
Big loss
Losing Gnonto would be a big loss for the club.
The 19-year-old winger has spent just one season in England and was a real bright spark in a gloomy season for the West Yorkshire side. In 24 Premier League appearances, he managed two goals and four assists, which is a promising return for a young winger playing in England for the first time.
Gnonto is Italy’s youngest-ever goalscorer and his displays this season suggest he has a bright future ahead. It would be a real shame if the club were unable to keep hold of the bright prospect.
However, following relegation, a return to Italy and Inter Milan, who will be playing Champions League football next season, might be too difficult for Gnonto to turn down and Leeds will be forced to sell.
Gnonto featured in Inter’s Under-19 teams and could now be set to make his first-team debut with the club and leave England behind.
In other Leeds United news, another winger at the club has made an exit admission during a recent interview.
