Last week, Cronache Salerno stated Leeds United’s Leo Hjelde continues to be a target for Salernitana sporting director Morgan De Sanctis.
On Wednesday, we covered claims from Italy that the next few days are decisive for the Serie A side to sign the left-back on a loan deal with an option to buy.
La Città di Salerno have a report explaining the Italian club’s plans for the remaining days of this window and the Leeds player gets a mention.
The report adds the operation is currently ‘on standby’ after Daniel Farke’s side ‘forfeited the loan request’, which had a right to buy set at €1.5m.
Tutto Salernitana director Luca Esposito has also talked about Salernitana’s desire to sign the Norway U19 international, this time on TMW Radio.
He claims the Serie A side are searching for a backup for Domagoj Bradarić and the ‘focus’ is on the Whites defender. Esposito further adds Hjelde ‘costs a lot’ but a compromise is being sought with Leeds.
