On July 28th, we reported from Italy that Salernitana would have to make a financial sacrifice to sign Leeds United’s Leo Hjelde.
It was also suggested that the defender’s departure from Elland Road could take place in the first week of August… However, this did not occur.
Cronache Salerno discusses the Serie A club’s interest in the Leeds player and why the operation has yet to take shape.
The Italian club is seeking for a replacement for Domagoj Bradari and has limited it down to two choices. Hjelde is one of them, and the story focuses mostly on the 19-year-old.
Daniel Farke will be unable to rely on Junior Firpo for the foreseeable future due to a knee injury. This will give the Norway U21 international more playing time, at least at first. He’s already appeared twice this season.
It has not been stated whether Junior Firpo‘s injury will prevent Hjelde from leaving Leeds, although the latter’s name remains on Salernitana sporting director Morgan De Sanctis’ list. Cronache Salerno adds, ‘developments are expected’ in this situation.
