With fresh Leeds contract negotiations, teams have expressed “interest” in Wilfried Gnonto

In the midst of talks about a new contract, clubs are showing interest in Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto.

The Yorkshire club is trying to tie Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto to a new contract, but he is drawing interest from across Europe. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano exclusively told GIVEMESPORT on Monday afternoon that the situation remained open and that it could still go on until the last few days of the January transfer window.
It appeared as though Gnonto might have been traveling through the Elland Road exit door during the summer transfer season. Following Leeds‘ Premier League relegation, several of its talents were able to return to Europe’s elite leagues.

Despite his desire to leave, Gnonto spent the first half of the season playing for the Yorkshire club

Now that the winter window is open, many are talking about Gnonto‘s future. Gnonto has struggled to get game time despite Leeds dropping to the Championship, and with Euro 2024 rapidly approaching, the Italian international may be frustrated with his lack of playing time.

Gnonto’s Leeds future is uncertain

Gnonto submitted a transfer request in the summer in an attempt to compel a move away from Elland Road, and Everton made several offers to the Yorkshire team. Nevertheless, a transfer fell through, and Gnonto will have another chance to look for a fresh challenge during the winter window. The 20-year-old attacker is reportedly being watched by teams in the Premier League and Italy in anticipation of a possible transfer. Under Daniel Farke, the forward has struggled to crack the starting lineup.

Journalist Dean Jones recently stated to GIVEMESPORT that he’s astonished that a player of Gnonto‘s caliber is having difficulty playing consistently in the Championship and that Premier League teams would be tempted to make a late winter transfer window bid for him. The Athletic claims that Gnonto is nearing a new contract with the team, despite interest in the Italian. Leeds is under no obligation to sign him until his current contract expires in 2027, but it might be an attempt to stifle interest in the attacker.
