Leeds United and Newcastle United reportedly want Nahitan Nandez.

Agent Pablo Bentancur has told Tuttomercatoweb that Boca Juniors midfielder Nahitan Nandez wants to leave this summer amid interest from Leeds United and Newcastle United.

Nandez, 23, joined Boca from Penarol in his native Uruguay back in 2017, and has thrived since his move to Argentina.

The midfielder has played a host of roles, including as a central midfielder, holding midfielder and right winger, offering great versatility.

Diminutive but tenacious, Nandez featured prominently for Uruguay at the World Cup last summer, helping his country reach the quarter-finals in Russia.

Nandez now appears to have attracted major interest as Calciomercato note that Leeds United and Newcastle United both want to lure him to England this summer.

Cagliari and Roma have also been linked, with Boca allegedly seeking a fee of around €20million (£17million), which means Leeds would surely have to be promoted to afford him.

Now though, agent Bentancur has commented on the situation, revealing that Nandez wants to leave Boca this summer, and will be heading to England or Italy, whilst talking up his client’s suitability for any club.

“I’m talking to so many teams,” said Bentancur. “Nahitan has further experience behind it. He wants to leave Boca, it’s time to play in Italy or England. A player like this, with this strength and temperament, would be convenient for many. At the Bernabeu, against River Plate, he showed heart, desire, temperament. All characteristics that a coach would like to find in one of his players,” he added.
