Leeds United hopes to seal the historic capture of Udinese game creator Rodrigo De Paul after he went public to hint at his preference for seeing the move, Said Football Insider.
This revealed last week that De Paul wanted to be transferred to Elland Road and had already accepted non-public conditions.
But the two clubs have still agreed on the rates or a design of agreement, which has generated frustration in the field of the Argentine international.
Leeds fanzine The Square Ball commented on Twitter last night that De Paul needs to sign for Marcelo Bielsa’s team, but is waiting for Udinese to accept an offer.
De Paul replied, “Yes” and added a cross emoji before deleting the tweet a little later.
The Premier League team is in talks with Udinese about a 26-year-old deal and recent reports say the Italian club is around 37 million pounds for its assets.
A leeds source told Football Insider that the club’s hierarchy believes the player himself is pushing for the scenes to move.
There is also interest from Juventus, Inter Milan and Zenit St. Petersburg, however, he is drawn to the glamour of the Premier League as the opportunity to paint with the celebrated coach Bielsa.
The Yorkshire giants have presented De Paul with a lucrative long-term contract that would allow him to pay good pay for his contract with Udinese.
Leeds needs to hire a game creator capable of taking over the artistic torch of Pablo Hernandez, who in Saturday’s 4-3 defeat in Liverpool turned 35 in April.
De Paul made 34 Serie A appearances last season, scoring seven and offering six assists.
In 146 games with Udinese, the 17-time Argentine and former star of Valencia has contributed 25 goals and 25 assists.
In news, Leeds United has set its appeal in a new-choice signing following the collapse of the chase ahead.
