On Tuesday, we covered claims from Italy that Leeds United are in pole position to sign Spezia Calcio goalkeeper Bartłomiej Drągowski.
Since then, Spezia sporting director Eduardo Macía said there’s nothing firm from the Whites when directly asked about the reports linking the 26-year-old with a move to Elland Road.
Il Secolo XIX, via Spezia 1906, have issued a warning to Leeds United in their pursuit of the stopper.
They say Macía had a long meeting with the Poland international’s agent, Mariusz Kulesza, yesterday to sort out his future.
It’s explained that Daniel Farke’s side are the ‘most concrete path’ for the Pole, who is on the fringes at the Serie A club. However, Spezia ‘can’t wait’ for the Championship side to take further steps and are evaluating other options for him.
To be blunt, it sounds like they’re fed up of waiting.
Drągowski could move to Spain on a loan deal with an option to buy this month, where Real Betis and Celta Vigo have emerged as new options. Il Secolo XIX suggest the deal could be agreed with one of the two clubs as early as today, which sounds wildly optimistic.
These are ‘decisive hours’ to sort out his future and Drągowski may even be left out of the squad for the weekend clash against Cremonese. Leeds United, therefore, need to rush if they wish to land the goalkeeper in the ongoing window.
