Championship side Leeds United reportedly want to sign Domingos Quina from Premier League West Ham – so do Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim.
If Leeds United want to sign one of the most promising talents in Portuguese football, they will have to beat off competition from two top flight German sides.
It is reported that West Ham are ready to cash in on the 19-year-old starlet this summer due to the fact he has just one year left on his current contract and has failed to force himself into the first team in the last two seasons.
The Mirror (live blog, 2pm) reported earlier in the month that Leeds had made contact with West Ham about potentially signing Quina. And while the Iberian midfielder is far from a household name, he is a truly unique talent who has the raw ability to be one of the most gifted players in Leeds’ squad.
The Mirror is now reporting that Quina could be available for as little as £600,000. Therefore, he is most certainly within Leeds’ budget, even if the Elland Road outfit have struggled to afford many of their top targets this summer.
Unfortunately, however, it is reported that Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim are keen to take Quina to the Bundesliga. The latter, coached by the brilliant Julian Nagelsmann, will be playing Champions League football next season.
The report adds that Manchester City, who were interested in Quina before he signed a professional contract with West Ham, could also be tempted.
Leeds, then, face a real challenge.
