There was concern this summer that Wilfried Gnonto would be sold following Leeds United’s relegation to the Championship.
The forward has been one of the bright spots at Elland Road during a difficult season for the Yorkshire club, and with teams like Everton around, stories abound.
He nevertheless stayed, perhaps reluctantly, and has paid the price somewhat, with Daniel Farke using him infrequently for Leeds this season, leading to additional tales of an exit, such as the one in Monday’s Corriere dello Sport.
The newspaper examines the options available to Lazio to improve their attack and suggests that Gnonto could be one of them due to his circumstances.
According to the report, the Italy international ‘will also be on the market’ during the January transfer window, as he ‘wants to leave’ Leeds United in the near future.
He plainly isn’t happy in the Championship, and the fact that he has only started one game since September speaks volumes about Farke‘s intentions for him.
In terms of pricing, he is ‘valued at €20m,’ implying that Lazio will either dig deep into their resources for him or arrange some form of loan for the forward.
