Leeds United have become the latest club to be credited with interest in Venezia FC star Joel Pohjanpalo.
The striker joined the Serie B side from Bayer Leverkusen last summer and finished his debut season in Italy with 19 goals and seven assists from 40 games. His fine form has clearly not gone unnoticed.
Corriere del Veneto, relayed by TuttoMercatoWeb, state the 28-year-old is ‘tempting’ clubs in Italy and abroad. Leeds are one of them.
In addition to these English clubs, Cagliari are also in the picture for the player. The Serie A side could be without Gianluca Lapadula, who recently underwent ankle surgery, for a while.
Pohjanpalo has two years left on his contract, with an option to extend it until 2027. With several teams interested in him, the report says Venezia want to be ready for his potential exit this summer.
Therefore, Venezia have identified Massimo Coda as a target and have already established contact with Genoa over a potential deal.
