A talented Leeds United standout is considering a move to a top European club and a potential partnership with a former Premier League coach, as per a recent transfer rumor.
The latest Leeds United transfer news has seen a flurry of speculation around possible incoming and outgoing players at Elland Road ahead of the upcoming Championship season.
One player in the spotlight is Couhaib Driouech, who is rumored to be on the radar of Daniel Farke’s team as a potential replacement for Wilfried Gnonto. The 22-year-old Excelsior forward could be on his way to Leeds if Gnonto departs soon.
While Leeds recently secured the permanent signing of Joe Rodon from Tottenham, they have also bid farewell to youngster Archie Gray who has moved in the opposite direction. With talks of Jordan Torunarigha joining as a center-back partner for Rodon, Leeds are looking to strengthen their defensive options.
Amidst the transfer buzz, Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier has emerged as a potential target for Marseille, with former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi interested in bringing him onboard. A potential €20m transfer fee is being discussed, with Leeds demanding top dollar for one of their key players.
Meslier is reportedly open to the move, with Marseille impressed by his ball-handling skills and playing style. At just 24, the Frenchman is seen as having immense potential and could thrive in one of Europe’s top leagues.
While Leeds value Meslier highly, the prospect of a big-money offer could test their resolve. Retaining him long-term would be ideal, given his talent and room for growth, but the allure of a new challenge may entice the young goalkeeper.
With two years left on his Leeds contract, the club must weigh their options carefully. Securing Meslier’s future or cashing in on him this summer are both viable paths, but ultimately, the decision could shape Leeds’ goalkeeping department for years to come.
