Lazio are considering a loan for Willy Gnonto in January, with an obligation to buy the Leeds United star in the summer for roughly £13.1m – and the player is still attracting interest.
Gnonto is now fighting to break into Leeds’ starting lineup, with Cree Summerville and Dan James on fire. According to the Italian outlet Calcio Style, Lazio are very interested in bringing Gnonto back to Italy.
Claudio Lotito, president of Lazio, is a big fan of Gnonto and wants to sign him, but we need to lower our asking price. Lazio intends to take out a loan with an obligation worth just over £13 million.
Given that Leeds purchased Gnonto from Zurich for an overall amount of £5.2 million in the summer of 2022, Leeds would generate a profit of nearly £8 million on Gnonto in less than two years. But he’s more valuable.
Indeed, prior sources have stated that Gnonto is worth significantly more than £20 million, but considering his lack of game time in recent months, Leeds may decide it is best to cash in while the profit is still substantial.
Willy Gnonto of Leeds United is set to join Lazio on loan.
Gnonto’s move to Lazio will be difficult to resist. They are currently in the Champions League and appear to be on track to go to the knockout stages in a group that contains Celtic and Feyenoord.
It’s difficult to say no to Gnonto. So far, conflicting stories have emerged regarding his position on his future, with some claiming he has requested to leave – primarily from Italy. Others, on the other hand, dismiss those.
Leeds will believe Gnonto is worth more than the £13.1 million Lazio is willing to pay in a loan deal for the wide man. However, with his game time limited, his price is dropping. He must make a choice.
