- Wilfried Gnonto is reportedly’ready to say goodbye’ to Leeds United, citing a lack of playing time.
According to Tutto Mercato Web, Gnonto has asked to leave Elland Road, and talks between Leeds and Lazio about a possible deal have already begun.
However, Leeds’ asking price is anticipated to be a stumbling block in any move at the present, with a sum well in excess of £20 million set to be required.
Following a turbulent summer in which Gnonto refused to play and handed in a transfer request, rumors about a likely exit have begun to emerge again ahead of January.
According to Team Talk, insiders close to Gnonto believe a January exit is a possibility, with Everton, AS Roma, and the aforementioned Lazio among the frontrunners.
Gnonto is’ready to say goodbye to Leeds’.
Gnonto has been reduced to a supporting role since his return from injury, starting only one of Leeds’ past four games. Crysencio Summerville and Dan James are currently ahead of him.
He came on in the 90th minute of Leeds’ triumph over Leicester City on Friday night, which will definitely disappoint a player of his caliber.
Gnonto is eager to be a part of Italy’s squad for next summer’s European Championships, for which they have a solid chance of qualifying later this month.
Michael Skubala describes the 19-year-old as a’special’ talent. He was in Italy’s squad in September but missed the final one owing to injury.
With his skill, there is no doubt that his turn will come at Leeds this season, but he will have to wait for now. The question is whether he is capable of doing so.
