The 49ers Enterprises and Leeds United are considering spending more than £20 million this summer to acquire a new Adidas-sponsored player.
Although Daniel Farke’s team still has eight Championship games left to play, the Whites are hope to be ready for life back in the Premier League this summer.
Due to a recent wobble, Leeds has only managed to collect five of a potential twelve points, allowing Burnley and Sheffield United to catch up. The injury to Wilfried Gnonto during the international break hasn’t helped Leeds’ cause, and it looks like it will be a nerve-wracking promotion run-in.
After taking Brenden Aaronson’s place in the starting lineup, Gnonto made an impression with his second-half performance against QPR prior to the half. Nevertheless, Leeds is currently evaluating the Italian’s ankle problem after his unscheduled return to Yorkshire.
In the event that Leeds get promoted, the 49ers seem to have intentions to add several intriguing players. Former player Kalvin Phillips is already said to have a verbal agreement in place, while Caoimhin Kelleher, the goalkeeper for Liverpool, has been identified as Illan Meslier’s replacement.
It appears that another name is on Elland Road’s radar, and the Whites are certain they will sign Manor Solomon on a long-term contract if they advance.
Nicolas Raskin, a midfielder for Rangers, is a target for Leeds this summer, according to TEAMtalk. A Leeds move for Raskin seems to be something to watch, as the Belgium international has been making an impression at Ibrox and the 49ers Enterprises have agreed to an agreement in principle to take over in Glasgow.
According to reports, Aston Villa and Brentford are interested in Adidas-sponsored Raskin, while German and Italian teams are also interested. According to the article, “Rangers will ask for a premium”—more than £20 million—when selling Raskin.
Rangers teammate Cyriel Dessers has lauded the 24-year-old, saying: “He can go very far.” Nico can move to the sub-top in a high tournament since I saw players in the six in Serie A who are no better than him. However, it’s critical to choose a squad and competition that complement his style.
Raskin, who can play as a central or holding midfielder, has also been referred to as “unique” by Rangers sporting director Nils Koppen. Should Leeds win promotion, the 49ers may approve a transfer for the star.
