Leeds United are eyeing Aberdeen’s rising star Connor Barron for a potential transfer in the upcoming summer window, but they now face tough competition for the 21-year-old midfielder.
Despite suffering a setback with a 2-1 loss to Coventry City, Leeds is still in the promotion race, with Leicester City reclaiming the top spot in the Championship. The Whites’ recruitment team has been hard at work preparing for the transfer window, with high hopes of returning to the Premier League.
Former academy player Kalvin Phillips is also being considered for a return to Elland Road, but Manchester City’s hefty price tag could be a stumbling block. Another option is the out-of-contract Barron, who has caught the eye of Serie A clubs Cagliari and Sassuolo.
With the competition heating up for Barron’s signature, his potential pathway to success, like that of Lewis Ferguson at Bologna, may influence his decision more than just being a squad player at Leeds.
