Leeds United’s reported pursuit of Justin Lonwijk has taken a blow, with his club PSV claimed to be in negotiations with the midfielder over a new contract.

According to Tuttomercatoweb.com, Leeds are interested in signing Lonwijk on a free transfer when his current contract with PSV runs out at the end of the season (click here to read more).

According to Eindhoven Dagblad, the Whites would have to pay just €400,000 (£341,104.84) as compensation fee to secure the services of the 19-year-old (click here to read more).

Dutch outlet ED, though, has now claimed that PSV have been in talks with the teenager over a new contract, but the midfielder has yet to make a decision on his future.

Now, Lonwijk signing a new contract with PSV does not necessarily mean that Leeds will not be able to bring the teenager to Elland Road in the summer transfer window.

What it means that is that the Championship club in England will have to pay much more than the €400,000 (£341,104.84) compensation fee they will need to cough up at this moment in time.
