With Kemar Roofe seemingly on his way out, Leeds United will be looking for a replacement, and that man may reside at Inter Milan.
Earlier this week we reported that Leeds were rivalling Newcastle United for Facundo Colidio and FC Inter News confirm that is the case.
They report that Leeds chief Andrea Radrizzani is actively trying to get a deal done with the Serie A side and is using ‘the Bielsa factor’ to try and convince the Argentine to move to Elland Road this summer.
They would prefer an outright transfer for the striker, but Inter don’t want to lose him permanently.
They would prefer a loan with a purchase option at €7-8m, although that would include an option for them to repurchase him at €10-12m as well.
There’s no mention of whether that would be acceptable for Leeds but given Inter News say he is ‘first choice’ for Bielsa, they are sure to try and push for a deal.
Colidio is not the only player they’re targeting either, with Leeds also keen on defender Ryan Nolan as well.
Inter News claim that Leeds are looking to exploit their relationship with the Inter and have asked about the 20-year-old and any move for him would be an outright deal.
Bielsa is said to want them both purchasing ‘outright’.
There’s no mention on a price, but it seem these are two deals Leeds are keen to get done and with less than a week of the window to go, expect both names to pop up more as the deadline looms closer.
