Leeds United are being lined up for a takeover.
Leeds United are subject of talks regarding a potential takeover, report the New York Times.
PSG’s owners, Qatar Sport Investment, are holding talks with Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani.
It would be in QSI’s interests to help Leeds quickly win promotion, so there could potentially be scope for PSG to help the Whites out by loaning them players.
Here is a look at three Leeds could potentially sign…
Jese Rodriguez
This one is almost obvious. Jese has been linked with Leeds for months, and Estadio Deportivo reported a fortnight ago that Leeds remain interested.
The former Real Madrid man showed a glimmer of form on loan at Real Betis earlier in 2019 and could get his career back on track under Marcelo Bielsa.
He has little prospect of starring at PSG next season and a loan is in his interests.
Kevin Trapp
Kiko Casilla’s play-off gaffe has shone the spotlight back on the goalkeeping position at Leeds.
If the Whites choose to part ways with Casilla, then PSG’s Kevin Trapp is a good option.
He was deemed expendable this season and sent out on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt, who reached the Europa League semi-finals.
He will have more competitive offers than Leeds, but a takeover would make it plausible, with Alphonse Areola still in front of him at PSG despite Gianluigi Buffon’s retirement.
Timothy Weah
Young USA international Timothy Weah is the son of legend George Weah.
The young striker had an impressive loan spell at Celtic earlier in 2019, and fans were gutted to see his spell come to an end.
A season long loan at Leeds would be a further step in his development, and with his path blocked at PSG by Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, heading out to get more playing time would be wise.
Grzegorz Krychowiak
Poland star Krychowiak had an impressive loan spell at West Bromwich Albion two seasons ago.
Once again he remains out of PSG’s plans, despite having a contract there until 2021.
He has spent the last season out on loan at Lokomotiv Moscow.
Leeds should push for a loan, in midfield he would be a major upgrade on Adam Forshaw.
His stock has dipped since PSG spent £26 million on him, and his prospects in Paris don’t look good. A return to English football could appeal.
