Leeds United are now reportedly facing competition from Osasuna for Ander Iturraspe.
Some Leeds United fans were stunned when links first emerged about Ander Iturraspe joining the Whites, as reported on HITC Sport.
According to AS, Leeds are interested in signing Iturraspe on a free transfer this summer.
The 30-year-old defensive midfielder is leaving Athletic Bilbao this summer, and Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa – who worked with the Spaniard at Los Leones – reportedly wants to bring him to Elland Road.
Given that Leeds will play in the Championship next season, it is going to be hard for the Whites to convince the 30-year-old to make the move to Elland Road this summer, and the West Yorkshire outfit’s quest has just become more difficult.
According to Besoccer.com, Osasuna are looking at seeking the services of Iturraspe on a free transfer this summer.
Jagoba Arrasate’s side will play in La Liga next season after clinching promotion from the second tier of Spanish football.
Having played his entire career in Spain, Iturraspe may not be willing to move to England at the age of 30, especially when Osasuna reportedly want him.
