“Not from my end, anyways” – Player unsure why Leeds move failed, wasn’t because of medical

As you will be very aware of after the numerous articles written on the subject, Leeds United wanted Mickaël Cuisance to bolster their midfield.

The French midfielder was said to be a direct request from Marcelo Bielsa to improve his Elland Road squad for the Premier League season ahead, and it appeared that a deal with Bayern Munich could be struck.

In fact, the player even went as far as undergoing a medical ahead of the move, which ultimately collapsed.

Following that, Marseille sprang into action and got a deal over the line for the young playmaker with no problem, including an €18m option to buy.

Presented to the media following the move, Cuisance was asked about his failed transfer to Leeds and if there had been a problem during the medical.

He replied in a video relayed by RMC Sport: “Not from my end, anyways. Beyond that, I don’t know anything from the negotiations”.

Either way, the reason as to why the move collapsed is still unknown, but it appears to have been more of a financial issue than a physical one on the player’s end, since there were no issues found during Marseille’s tests.
