Leeds United are reportedly closing in on £31m signing this summer – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Leeds United have been heavily linked with a move for the Cagliari midfielder Nahitan Nandez for weeks now.
According to L’Unione Sarda, the player is now closing in on a move to Elland Road this summer after the likes of Inter Milan and Roma decided to pull out of the transfer chase.
The report further states but the Uruguayan midfielder will be a club-record signing for the Whites as they will have to pay his release clause of €36 million (£31m).
The Premier League side are yet to trigger his release clause but the report claims that the move is close.
The 25-year-old midfielder is currently away on international duty with Uruguay and his future is unlikely to be sorted before the Copa America ends.

Nandez would be a superb acquisition for Leeds if the reports are to be believed.
He’s a hard-working midfielder who will help out defensively. Furthermore, he has an impressive engine and he is well suited to Marcelo Bielsa’s high pressing game.
The Uruguayan international seems like the ideal partner for Kalvin Phillips on paper and the duo could form a quality partnership at the heart of Bielsa’s midfield next season.
The reported release clause might seem steep at this moment but the 25-year-old has the quality to justify the asking price over the next few seasons.
Nandez is yet to reach his peak and working with a top-class coach like Bielsa could help him improve.
