Leeds United should be facing some extra competition for the signing of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Edouard Michut.
Foot Mercato shares a story saying that while the Whites are ‘on the action’ for the transfer, the player also became popular in Germany.
It’s said Hoffenheim and Augsburg both got in touch with PSG to know about the player’s situation, and should now battle Leeds for his signing.
Journalist Dominik Schneider, who wrote the piece, also features more information about it on Twitter.
He claims that the two Bundesliga sides made inquire about the possibilities of a loan or a permanent transfer, while Leeds are ‘still in the race’.
None of the clubs seem to have made their concrete offers so far, as they’re said to be waiting for PSG’s stance.
Michut spent the last season playing for Sunderland, and that’s where Leeds certainly watched him and got interested in his signing.
Something crucial for this battle is PSG’s decision on whether they’ll loan him out again or sell him, as using the youngster this season doesn’t seem to be in their plans.
