Despite claims that Leeds United have ruled themselves out of the race to sign Azzedine Ounahi from Angers SCO, the Italian media continue to push the idea Andrea Orta and co. are still in the mix.
The latest comes from Corriere del Mezzogiorno, relayed by Calcio Napoli 24, who have a little bit about Napoli’s efforts to bring the midfielder to the south of Italy.
However, the player’s desire has been to move to Napoli from the off, which gave them an advantage, and that’s why they still have a chance of getting their man.
It’s said that Luciano Spalletti’s side are in ‘frequent contact’ with Ounahi’s entourage ‘to beat the competition’ that Leeds are providing.
While they still haven’t reached an agreement with Angers, ‘optimism is filtering out’ that something can be reached, and Leeds can be beaten.
We’ll have to wait and see, but it seems that the Elland Road side could miss out, if they were even after him in the first place.
