Leeds United continue to be linked with Boca Juniors ace Nahitan Nandez.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Leeds United have an offer on the table for Boca Juniors ace Nahitan Nandez – but Roma could swoop in with a swap deal.
The Whites took another giant step towards the Premier League on Saturday with a 3-2 home win over Millwall, jumping back up into the automatic promotion spots.
Even at this point, Leeds may be looking at potential additions this summer, and Boca star Nandez has been linked for a couple of weeks now.
Tuttomercatoweb now claim that Leeds do have an offer on the table to sign Nandez this summer, though it’s unclear just how much they would be paying to take him.
Unfortunately for Leeds though, they aren’t the only team interested in him. Roma have also spoken to Boca about signing Nandez, and Diego Perotti could be the key man in the saga.
Boca want to sign the Argentinian winger from Roma, and he could be the secret weapon for the Italian giants, opening up the possibility of a swap or part-exchange deal.
That would be a major blow for Leeds, as Nandez would be a fine addition. The 23-year-old was a regular for Uruguay at the World Cup last summer, and has starred for Boca since arriving from Penarol in 2017.
A versatile player who has played as a holding midfielder, central midfielder and wide man, Nandez is known for his tenacity and diminutive stature, potentially fitting in well with Bielsa’s style of play – but whether Leeds can beat Roma to his signature is another matter.
