The Leeds United-owned player represented a League One club this past weekend.
Burton Albion manager Nigel Clough does not yet know if he’s going to sign Leeds United’s forgotten man Oliver Sarkic.
United gave the League One club permission to play Sarkic in a pre-season friendly win over Chesterfield on Saturday.
Sarkic, who is contracted to Leeds until next summer, was signed by the Whites’ Director of Football Victor Orta two years ago but hasn’t yet made a senior debut for the Elland Road club.
The 22-year-old attacker spent last season on loan with Spanish second division side Barakaldo CF, managing 12 league appearances and scoring just the once.
Clough played him for 58 minutes on Saturday, but the Burton boss doesn’t know if he’s going to sign him up, revealing that the former Benfica talent also has offers from abroad.
“I’m not sure yet,” Clough told The Derby Telegraph. “He has got a couple of offers from abroad, I think, so I’m just going to have a chat with him now.
“His representative put us on to him, so we’ll see what his situation is. He’s played very little football so far this pre-season, and that was the only thing – he’s just a bit short, fitness wise.”
Whatever happens with Sarkic, one thing is clear: he has absolutely no future at Leeds.
He was one of the many players who Orta brought in two years ago initially as Under-23 players, but it was a failed experiment by the Spanish transfer guru.
