Leeds United reportedly failed to bring Moise Kean to the Championship in January.
Leeds United are apparently interested in luring a history-making striker to Elland Road.
Moise Kean became the first player born in the 21st century to feature in any of Europe’s top four leagues when he made his debut for Juventus in 2016. But since storming onto the scene two years ago, the 18-year-old forward has struggled to kick on – understandable really given that he has Mario Mandzukic, Paolo Dybala and a certain Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of him in the pecking order.
With a grand total of zero Serie A minutes to his name this season, Tuttosport reports that Kean’s agent, the motormouth Mino Raiola, is keen to talk to Juve about a potential loan move away from Turin in January.
And Sport believes that Leeds have put an offer on the table. Galatasaray and Marseille are also understood to be interested.
These reports come nine months after The Whites reportedly failed in an attempt to bring Kean to West Yorkshire.
According to Il Biancenero, Leeds wanted to include a clause in Kean’s contract that would allow them to sign him permanently if certain criteria were met. Juve, however, had no interest in letting one of the most exciting young strikers in Europe leave on a permanent basis.
