Door reportedly wide open for Leeds to sign £16m international winger – originally posted on Sportslens.com
The door may well now be wide open for Leeds to sign Wolfsburg ace Josip Brekalo according to a report from Calciomercato.it.
The 23-year-old allegedly wants to leave the Bundesliga outfit in order to try a new challenge.
And Wolfsburg could accept a fee of around £16 million for the winger.
Marcelo Bielsa seems determined to build a squad capable of pushing for the top six this season.
The Argentine already has the likes of Raphina, Jack Harrison and Helder Costa who can play in the wide attacking areas.
Leeds chasing Brekalo
The Whites may well now have a great chance to bring the 27-capped Croatian international to Elland Road this summer.
Calciomercato.it claims that he is keen to leave Wolfsburg and the German club allegedly only want around £16 million for him.
That would represent outstanding value for Leeds.
He racked up seven goals and three assists in 29 Bundesliga games for Wolfsburg last season.
He is a technically gifted winger and has impressive pace in his locker as well. The Croatian has a certain kind of directness to his playing style that makes him perfectly suited to the intense nature of Premier League football.
