Report suggests Leeds have made an approach to sign 26-yr-old defender – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Leeds United remain keen on signing the Huesca defender Javi Galan this summer.
According to Spanish publication AS, the Whites were keen on signing the player before they splashed out on Junior Firpo.
The signing of the former Barcelona player has not had any impact on their interest in the 26-year-old left-back and the English club have apparently made an approach to sign him.
Huesca have been relegated from the Spanish league and the defender will be allowed to leave for a fee of around €4 million because of a release clause on his contract.
The 26-year-old had an impressive season last year despite his side’s relegation and he could push Firpo for the starting left-back berth at Leeds next year.
The reported price seems quite reasonable for a player of his ability and his addition could prove to be a bargain in the long run.
Galan is quite effective going forward and he will help out in the final third with his creativity and dribbling.
The defender has a contract with Huesca until the summer of 2022 and the Spanish club cannot afford to lose him on a free transfer next year.
Selling him permanently in the coming months would be ideal for all parties involved and it remains to be seen whether Leeds can secure his services before the new season begins.
