Leeds United may be open to selling Wilfried Gnonto this summer as Everton has reignited their interest in the young forward, according to The Times.
Following Leeds’ failure to secure promotion last season, an exit for the Italian international seems likely.
Everton had shown interest in Gnonto last summer, but he remained at Elland Road. Now, with renewed interest from the Toffees, Leeds sees an opportunity to capitalize on Gnonto’s potential and market value.
At just 20 years old, Gnonto has already made a name for himself in Italy and displayed promise in the Premier League.
For Leeds, maximizing the transfer fee is crucial. By highlighting Gnonto’s talent and the competition for his signature, Leeds can demand a higher price. This strategy includes setting attainable add-ons to further inflate his value.
Selling Gnonto at a high price will provide Leeds with essential funds to strengthen other areas of the team. The club needs to reinvest in their squad to prepare for the upcoming season, especially after the disappointment of not achieving promotion.
As Leeds prepares for potential departures, they are also eyeing new acquisitions, including an international defender.
The club’s focus remains on rebuilding and fortifying the team to ensure a better outcome next season.
