Football Insider claims their main targets this summer, but any pursuit will be made more difficult given the lack of relegation clause in his current Whites dealwill need to pay Leeds United a fee in the region of £20million for Wilfried Gnonto this summer. The Toffees are said to have made the young Italian international one of their main targets this summer, but any pursuit will be made more difficult given the lack of relegation clause in his current Whites deal.
The youngster has been linked with a move back to Italy, with Juventus, Inter Milan and Fiorentina among those reportedly keen. However, the Serie A clubs are said to prefer a loan move with an option or obligation to buy, while Leeds would only sanction a permanent departure.
Everton would need to offload players, according to the report, prior to sanctioning a move for Gnonto. The 19-year-old has been a revelation since making the move to Elland Road last summer.
15 Premier League loan options Leeds United could explore this summer
Like most Championship clubs, Leeds United will be looking to maximise the loan market this season as they look to bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. There’s an army of youngsters and fringe players in the top flight crying out for the game time and experience Leeds can offer this season and as one of the favourites for promotion in the second tier, Leeds could be a preferred destination for many.
We’ll start with a more experienced name. Lewis has found the going tough at Newcastle of late, making just seven Premier League outings over the last two seasons and despite receiving praise from Eddie Howe in the press, he could be one pushing for more minutes.
The 25-year-old came through under Daniel Farke at Norwich City and he certainly ticks the left-back box that has become a problem position for Leeds over the years.
Daniel Farke could already be forced into Leeds United transfer rethink as target ‘prefers’ move elsewhere
Daniel Farke has clearly identified a new goalkeeper as a transfer priority at Leeds United ahead of the new season. However, the newly-appointed Whites boss may have faced an early setback with a new report suggesting Alexander Nubel is not keen on joining the Championship club.
Ilan Meslier is expected to depart Elland Road this summer, having lost his starting spot during the relegation run-in under Sam Allardyce. Joel Robles also faces an uncertain future, with the 33-year-old yet to return to Leeds for pre-season despite being invited back.
Bayern Munich shot-stopper Nubel has spent the last two seasons on loan with AS Monaco, making 97 appearances for the Ligue 1 side. A permanent switch to the club is seemingly not on the cards though, and Bayern are open to a sale for the goalkeeper as he enters the final two years of his contract.
The former Germany youth international could command a fee in the region of £8 million, and Kicker claim it is a figure Leeds have already indicated they would be prepared to pay. However, the report goes on to add Nubel would ‘prefer’ to remain in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart also expressing an interest
