Leeds United willing to offer €20 million for 28-goal Real Madrid attacker
Leeds United are interested in signing the Real Madrid attacker Gonzalo Garcia during the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old attacker is highly rated at Real Madrid, but he is unlikely to get regular opportunities with them next season. It would make sense for him to move on in search of regular playing time. Leeds are prepared to provide him with an exit route. They need more depth in the attacking unit, and Garcia would be a useful acquisition.
Leeds could use Gonzalo Garcia
He has been a reliable goal scorer at the youth level, and the opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for him. Regular gametime in England could accelerate his development and bring out the best in him. Garcia has scored 28 goals this past season.
Meanwhile, Leeds are prepared to offer €20 million in order to get the deal done. According to Fichajes, it is the most attractive offer on the table for Real Madrid. Clubs like Sunderland, Real Oviedo and AS Roma are keen on the player as well. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are looking to negotiate a buyback clause in the player’s contract for a fee of around €30 million. It remains to be seen whether the English club is prepared to accept the offer.
Premier League move could be ideal for the striker
Leeds have secured promotion to the Premier League, and they need to improve the squad in order to do well in the top flight. They need more attacking depth, and a reliable goal-scorer could prove to be very useful for them.
It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can work out a deal in the coming weeks.
The 21-year-old has impressed in the Club World Cup so far, scoring twice in three matches. There is no doubt that he is good enough to compete at the highest level, and he could be an asset for Leeds.
26-year-old in his prime could become the third summer signing of Leeds United
’49ers stumble again’ as Reinildo to Leeds United update emerges
Reinildo has been a target for Leeds United this summer.
Daniel Farke will be pleased with the signings of Jaka Bijol and Lukas Nmecha, though he will be intent on seeing more new faces through the door at Elland Road immediately.
Habib Diarra was a strong target for the Whites, but the Senegalese international has since opted for a move to Sunderland, while it was claimed that Leeds were not willing to match the fee set by the Black Cats.
However, the Whites look set for more transfer disappointment, after a new update emerged on their pursuit of Atletico Madrid defender Reinildo.
Sunderland set to beat Leeds to second summer signing
Surviving in the Premier League is a tough task, though it is one that can certainly be achieved if recruitment is done well.
Farke has already had his defensive bolstered with the addition of Bijol, but Leeds had also set their sights on Atletico Madrid defender Reinildo, who is due to leave the Spanish outfit on a free transfer.
However, as per a report from The Sun (29 June), Sunderland have now “swooped ahead” of the Whites in the race to sign the veteran defender, with Crystal Palace also interested.
Given the fact that he would have been unlikely to start, it isn’t necessarily a massive blow for the Whites, though it is also not a good look if they miss out on a second signing to a relegation rival.
Transfer activity needs to accelerate at Elland Road in the coming weeks, with the Whites stumbling in their attempts right now.
