Leeds United are close to finalizing a deal for Nikola Krstovic as they look to strengthen their attacking options for their return to the Premier League. With doubts surrounding Joel Piroe’s abilities and uncertainty over the future of Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford, a new striker like Krstovic could provide a different solution for manager Daniel Farke.
Despite interest from AC Milan and Roma, Leeds are set to secure a deal for Krstovic with an agreement in principle of £19.6million in place. The Whites are prepared to offer an improved wage package to lure the Montenegrin forward to Elland Road.
Krstovic’s arrival should be just the beginning of Leeds’ striker reinforcements, as they aim to avoid relegation in the upcoming season. With his impressive scoring record in Serie A, the 49ers Enterprises ownership group must continue to back Farke in the transfer market to bring in more attacking talent.
In addition to Krstovic, Leeds are eyeing other forwards like Rodrigo Muniz from Fulham to strengthen their squad further. If they can successfully bring in more firepower, Farke’s team could be in a strong position as they prepare for their Premier League campaign.
