Sampdoria are interested in signing Ronaldo Vieira from Leeds United in the summer transfer window, according to Sportnotizie24.it.

It has been reported that the Italian club could make an offer of €3 million (£2.67m) for the 20-year-old midfielder.

The England Under-21 international has also been linked with a move to Cardiff City in the Premier League, with The Sun (print edition, page 59, July 15, 2018) claiming that the Blues will make a bid of £8 million for the midfielder (click here to read more).

Worrying for Leeds United?

Vieira is one of the best young midfielders in the Championship, and there is no surprise that Sampdoria and Cardiff are reportedly interested in him.

The problem for Leeds is that while the summer transfer window in England ends on August 9, the market remains opens in Europe until the end of next month.

This means that Sampdoria could wait for a few more weeks before making an offer, and that could make things quite tricky for the Whites – although they will have to increase their offer.

However, it is hard to see Leeds settle for £2.67m for Vieira, as the midfielder is worth much more than that.
