Report suggests 26-year-old defender is on his way to Leeds United this summer – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Huesca left-back Javi Galan in recent weeks.
Mundo Deportivo are now claiming that the 26-year-old has already packed his bags and he is on his way to join Marcelo Bielsa’s side this summer.
The defender has had an impressive season with the Spanish outfit and he could prove to be a quality replacement for Ezgjan Alioski.
The Leeds defender will be a free agent this summer and Bielsa needs to find a quality alternative.

Galan has certainly proven himself in the Spanish league and he has the potential to succeed in the Premier League as well.
The arrival of the 26-year-old will add a new dimension to the Leeds attack. The Huesca defender is an excellent dribbler and he could be very useful for the Whites going forward.
Galan is a reasonably good defender as well and he can play multiple positions. The Spaniard can operate as a winger as well as a wing-back. His versatility will be a bonus for the Premier League side if they manage to sign him.
The defender will be a free agent in 2022 and he could be signed for a reasonable fee this summer. Apparently, the player has a release clause of around €8 million but he could be signed for half of that.
The reported asking price seems like a bargain for a player of his calibre and it remains to be seen whether the Whites can finalise the move soon.
