‘Not Willing To Compromise’ – Leeds United Must Fork Out Full Clause To Land Target

The Whites have made a lot of additions, but they haven’t yet addressed the problem by adding a new goalie. The clumsy Illan Meslier was benched at the close of the previous campaign and is anticipated to be sold by Leeds this summer. Leeds has been considering a number of goalkeeping possibilities because Karl Darlow isn’t widely thought to be the team’s top goalkeeper in the Premier League.

They are keeping an eye on Milinkovic-Savic of Torino and just conducted a thorough evaluation of him. Leeds might think about fulfilling the goalie’s €19 million release clause, which they would have to do if they wanted to sign him. Italian publication Calcio Napoli 24 claims that Torino is “not willing to compromise” on selling for less than the clause price and is not in the mood to offer concessions. The goalie is also a target for Antonio Conte’s Napoli, but they are unwilling to pay the clause fee.

Given the financial clout that comes with playing in the Premier League, Leeds should be able to do so if they so choose. To make a difference at Premier League level, the Whites will likely want to recruit a top striker, which may be costly, but they still have other players to add.

Last season, Milinkovic-Savic preserved ten clean sheets and missed just one game for Torino in Serie A, demonstrating his endurance. There is still one year left on the Serbian international’s Torino contract, but the Turin-based team can exercise an option to extend it by another year.
