Leeds United are today named as one of the potential destinations for Real Madrid’s Mariano Diaz.
The striker’s contract with the La Liga giants expires in the summer, and as written by Fichajes, he will ‘not continue’ at the club for another season.
It’s said Real Madrid don’t even considering extending the 29-year-old’s deal, and his agents are already looking for a new club.
Leeds United are labelled as one of the three clubs who are interested ‘at the moment’.
The Whites are presented as looking to reinforce their attack, and with Patrick Bamford having ‘many proposals’ to switch clubs for a side of ‘more sporting aspirations’ this summer, the Premier League club would try to replace him with Diaz.
It’s said an offer for the Real Madrid player would only take place in case the Englishman leaves, so that’s something that shouldn’t have big developments for now.
Should Bamford head towards the exit, Leeds ‘will make a proposal’ to Diaz.
Leeds would also face the competition from West Ham United and Nice for this signing. And since the race is for a free agent, that should all depend on the arguments they’ll use to attract him.
