Leeds United have landed a couple of impressive signings this summer, with Rodrigo and Robin Koch arriving to bolster Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
The Whites are still in the market for reinforcements, and a new playmaker appears to be a priority for Bielsa and co.
Udinese star Rodrigo De Paul is being linked with a move, as Gianluca Di Marzio reports that talks are underway about a deal.
Today though, Fabrizio Romano took to Twitter to state that Udinese won’t sell for less than €40million (£36million), meaning Leeds are looking to other targets – such as Julian Draxler.
RMC Sport broke that news on Tuesday, suggesting that Leeds are attempting to persuade the Paris Saint-Germain ace to join.
Draxler, 26, allegedly wants to stay with PSG, despite starting just seven league games and making no Champions League starts last season.
Thomas Tuchel doesn’t appear to fancy Draxler, so Leeds may keep pushing in the hope of eventually tempting him into making the move this summer.
Draxler is a big name and a regular for Germany over the years, so rival fans are taking to Twitter to react to these rumours.
Some believe that Draxler would be an ‘immense’ signing, even joking that they could challenge the title.
Others are jealous of Leeds’ ambition, feeling that it would be a huge coup to lure Draxler to Elland Road.
