As the team receives approval to proceed, Leeds United may finalise the signing of a seasoned striker. Leeds is a potential “surprise suitor” for Michy Batshuayi, who could be able to sign the striker for nothing this summer.
Rumours of interest from England have led the Turkish daily Star to speculate that Batshuayi would want to leave his present team, Fenerbahce, after his contract expires.
Batshuayi signed a contract to join Fenerbahce for roughly £3 million in 2023 after paying Chelsea £33 million six years prior, leaving Chelsea with significant losses.
The Belgian overcame his recent disappointments in Turkey, where he made 68 appearances across all competitions and scored an incredible 41 goals.
Leeds wants to sign the international player from Belgium.
Leeds is ‘interested’ in a free transfer if they get promoted to the Premier League, the report claims, and Batshuayi may want to leave the club even if Fenerbahce is supposedly considering a new contract.
At position nine, Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford are currently the clear favourites. By acquiring Batshuayi, they would bolster their attack with quality and experience as well as a prolific striker.
The attacker is still a gifted player who has shown his value to the teams he has played for and his nation, despite his poor stint at Chelsea.He has scored an incredible 204 goals in his career, demonstrating his familiarity with the back of the net.
If the Championship team were to get promoted, he would be a wise addition and could give them the necessary Premier League experience. The success of this move and others linked to Leeds in the media hinges on their elevation to the Premier League.
Leeds is now third in the Championship, one spot behind Leicester City and Ipswich Town. The Whites’ season may end because they have lost their last three games in the season’s latter stretch.
