Swansea plan to sell two defenders, but not Leeds target Kyle Bartley.
Swansea City are planning to move two defenders on this summer, according to reports.
The Sun (24/6 page 60) reports that Swansea have decided to sell Federico Fernandez because he is one of their top earners.
He is expected to leave along with top asset Alfie Mawson, who has been interesting West Ham.
Selling two Premier League level centre backs leaves Swansea short ahead of a 46 game Championship season.
It makes it even more unlikely they will look to sell Kyle Bartley to Leeds United.
The Yorkshire Evening Post reported earlier this summer that Leeds had approached Swansea over a deal.
Bartley starred for Leeds in 2016/17 on loan and was a real fan favourite.
Swansea’s relegation dented Leeds’ hopes of landing Bartley.
Their reported plan to sell Fernandez along with Mawson could end Leeds’ hopes for good.
