The 30-year-old might be open to joining Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United.
According to a report from El Desmarque in Spain, Ander Iturraspe may consider the chance to work with Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa again.
The 30-year-old midfielder is a free agent after being released by Athletic Bilbao, where he played under Bielsa.
Iturraspe won’t be short of offers and, According to Besoccer.com, Osasuna will be in the mix, but El Desmarque has suggested that the player wouldn’t be against a move to Leeds.
AS have previously reported the Whites’ interest and El Desmarque added that Iturraspe wants to either stay in Spain or move to England, which would put Greek side PAOK out of the race it seems.
What a signing it could be if Leeds get him.
Iturraspe is a defensive midfielder and somebody of his experience could be a huge coup for Bielsa, who is yet to sign anybody since agreeing to stay in West Yorkshire for another season following the team’s failure to win Premier League promotion last term.
The two-time Spain international is no spring chicken at 30 but, given that pace isn’t a huge part of his game, losing a yard or two of it won’t be detrimental to ability.
