Valencia are looking at Leeds United star Samuel Saiz as an alternative to Paris Saint-Germain winger Goncalo Guedes, according to El Gol Digital.

It has been reported that Spanish club are keen on signing Guedes from PSG in the summer transfer window.

Los Che, though, are looking at Leeds ace Saiz as an alternative, according to the report, which has also credited Huesca with interest in the 27-year-old, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a forward.

The former Spain Under-19 international joined Leeds from Huesca in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by The Yorkshire Evening Post to be worth £3 million and is very popular among the Elland Road faithful.

Huesca are playing in La Liga this season after winning promotion from the second division at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Valencia finished fourth in La Liga last season and will feature in the group stage of the Champions League in 2018-19.

Leeds United stay

Saiz is one of the best and most creative midfielders in the Championship, and it is hard to see Leeds sell the 27-year-old at this stage of the summer transfer window when they will struggle to find a suitable replacement.

The Spaniard scored five goals and provided seven assists in 28 Championship starts for Leeds last season, according to WhoScored.
