Leeds United ‘reactive’ interest in the 25. 6 million pounds of the star, Marcelo Bielsa has proposed a surprise loan – News 24
They and Sheffield United still have a position they would like to take, but with football league signings still imaginable for up to a week on Friday, they may still do so before the 2020 negotiations end.
Leeds was looking for an offensive midfielder to protect 35-year-old Pablo Hernandez, and Jack O’Connell’s knee surgery left the Blades below an overlapping midfielder. Whites can still look at Todd Cantwell of Norwich City, while left-handers Terence Kongolo of Huddersfield Town and Ben Davies of Preston North End are yet to play for the Blades.
But with last night’s 23:00 deadline for transfers from abroad, Leeds sporting director Victor Orta was able to close a deal for Raphinha en forma, who signed a four-year contract.
Undesclosed rates are expected to be around 15. 5 million pounds in advance, with another 5. 5 million pounds in add-ons.
Rennes, who have qualified for the Champions League this season, paid Sporting Lisbon £ 18 million for Raphinha just over 12 months ago, the season smartly, with two assists and one goal in six games.
He has reveled in the Europa League with previous clubs Vitoria and Sporting CP, as well as Rennes.
It has basically been used as a right winger, but can also play as a left and center forward.
Competing for a spot with Jack Harrison, Helder Costa, Ian Poveda and Ezgjan Alioski, the latter would possibly also be needed to fill left-back politics.
The only white specialist in this position, Barry Douglas, would be appealing to Watford. Agreements between Football League clubs and the Premier League are imaginable until 5 p. m. on 16 October. Flexible Stuart Dallas is coach Marcelo Bielsa’s first selection for this position.
Leeds has reportedly explored the possibility of pointing to Daniel James of Manchester United, whom they almost pointed out in January 2019, but the Red Devils’ failure to point to summer goal Jadon Sancho belatedly took the Welsh alien to West Yorkshire. Difficult.
Earlier in the window, Leeds bought Rodrigo and the power plants Robin Koch and Diego Llorente, along with other young men noticed as long-term signings.
The whites had the legal responsibility to buy Jean-Kevin Augustin from RB Leipzig, but after a disappointing mid-season loan that saw him play just 48 minutes in 3 substitutes without goals, they cooled down the concept and did not extend the loan in the last weeks. . its long promotional campaign.
The 23-year-old reportedly signed a two-year contract with Nantes, which allowed Leeds to avoid taking him back to the club, it was reported that they had not paid a fee.
Leeds was supposed to point to Bayern Munich’s Michael Cuisance last week to provide more offensive creativity, but a deal collapsed last Thursday amid reports of a medical failure.
Spanish club UD Logrones, for his part, showed last night that he had Polish midfielder Mateusz Bogusz, 19, on loan for one season.
Cantwell has been concerned in the last two Norwich games, with coach Daniel Farke criticizing his attitude in training. The 22-year-old was inspired by his first season in the Premier League, scoring seven goals in 40 appearances in all competitions.
Although Sampdoria agent Omar Colley claimed Sheffield United was interested in their client, the Blades were unable to make an eighth window signing yesterday.
Manager Chris Wilder revealed last week that the Blades had asked about Kongolo, who had played since he broke his foot on loan at Fulham in January.
Huddersfield coach Danny Cowley froze the defender in November, but was injured in his Cottagers deyet. Scott Parker is also believed to need to recruit the Swiss-born Dutch defender who is not part of the plans of Cowley’s successor, Carlos Corberan.
Terriers are believed to need about 8 million pounds for Kongolo, 26, while Davies, who has no contract at the end of the season, is valued at 10 million pounds through Preston.
After signing for the Blades for a record salary for Liverpool on Friday, striker Rhian Brewster withdrew from England’s under-21 team to be fit, probably a forward from a start opposed to Fulham a week on Saturday. It’s time to play for Arsenal on Sunday, where his new team lost 2-1.
Meanwhile, Leeds leader Angus Kinnear has rejected comments that Orta, who oversees his moving activities, will leave amid the interest expressed through the Roma.
“Victor has played a key role in our good luck and we’re letting him go,” he said.
