Leeds United are eyeing a potential summer move for Finn Azaz as they seek to adhere to PSR regulations ahead of their promotion to the Premier League. Manager Daniel Farke is interested in acquiring players at a lower cost, and Azaz has emerged as a target following an impressive season with Middlesbrough.
The midfielder has attracted attention for his standout performances in the Championship and is reportedly valued at £20 million by his current club. Despite Middlesbrough’s reluctance to sell, the potential for a £16 million profit could tempt them to consider offers.
Azaz, who has also impressed for the Republic of Ireland, is looking to take the next step in his career by playing at the highest level possible. He has expressed his desire to challenge himself against top competition in order to earn a place in the national team for important matches.
Farke has no excuse not to pursue a deal for Azaz, given the player’s ambition and potential contributions to Leeds’ squad in the Premier League. While Middlesbrough may be hesitant to let go of such a key player, the allure of a significant profit and Azaz’s eagerness for a new challenge could sway negotiations in Leeds’ favor. It remains to be seen if a deal can be reached as Leeds prepare for life in the top flight.
