Leeds United loanee projected to replace £150 million AC Milan star, as Burnley manager confronts Connor Roberts decision

Leeds United has moved up one spot in the Championship table over the weekend after defeating Bristol City 1-0 on Friday.

Wilfried Gnonto gave the Whites all three points and temporarily put them in second place before Southampton thrashed Rotherham on Saturday.

Ipswich lost contrary to Preston, making the battle for automatic promotion far more intense. Leeds face a Football League Cup fourth round replay against Plymouth this evening, but in the meanwhile, the YEP has compiled a list of the Whites’ most recent headlines.

The loanee is expected to come to Milan.

On-loan Luis Sinisterra, a Leeds winger, might transfer to AC Milan in the summer if Rafael Leao leaves. According to Italian journalist Carlo Pellegatti, the Colombian might be an acceptable replacement for the Serie A giants if one of several potential suitors activates Leao’s £150 million release clause.

Sinisterra is currently on loan at Bournemouth, and is one of several Whites who could move if the club gets relegated to the Championship. The youngster, who is 24, has impressed on the south coast, and according to the YEP, Leeds are cognizant of Bournemouth’s intent to make his move permanent.

If Leeds do not win promotion this season, Andoni Iraola’s side has the option of signing Sinisterra for a total of £21 million. It remains to be seen how Milan’s interest in the winger develops.
