Leeds United are facing another challenging summer as their resolve is tested once more.
The 49ers have already approved the sale of Archie Gray, but they now find themselves in a delicate situation. They aim to maintain a strong squad while keeping players satisfied.
Although Leeds are no longer in a position where financial pressures force them to sell, interest in their players persists. Despite missing out on promotion, Leeds boasted one of the youngest and most promising squads last season, drawing significant attention from top clubs.
However, Leeds is not compelled to sell and will manage any potential exits on their own terms.
Following Wednesday’s friendly victory over Hannover, Daniel Farke addressed the topic of transfers in his post-match interview. He expressed a desire to enhance both central midfield and full-back positions and spoke about the futures of Wilfried Gnonto and Crysencio Summerville.
Gnonto is still linked with a move to Everton, and Summerville has attracted interest from across Europe, making their departures a possibility.
According to iNews, Everton is expected to intensify their pursuit of Gnonto. Although Everton is close to finalizing a loan deal for Napoli’s Jesper Lindstrom, they are keen on adding another winger, with Gnonto next in line.
Everton has funds available from Amadou Onana’s £50 million transfer to Aston Villa, but they are cautious not to overpay for Gnonto. Despite his previous attempts to force a move to the Premier League, Gnonto is unlikely to repeat such actions this time around.
Farke noted that Gnonto has shown a positive attitude during pre-season training, suggesting that if he stays, his performance on the field should remain unaffected.
