Leeds United might be willing to let Wilfried Gnonto depart this summer, with Everton renewing their interest, as reported by the Times on July 15.
Following Leeds’ failure to secure promotion last season, it appears likely that the Italy international will seek an exit. The Toffees had shown significant interest in Gnonto last summer, but the 20-year-old remained at Elland Road.

He has already established a reputation in Italy and demonstrated his abilities in the Premier League.The club needs to maximize the revenue from player sales to reinvest in the squad for the upcoming season, especially after the disappointment of not achieving promotion.
