Done Deal: Everton consider 186.6 Million Offer With Leeds United….
Leeds United has already seen a number of departures as they attempt to manage the financial fallout from their inability to go back into the Premier League right away.
Sonny Perkins, Darko Gyabi, and Sam Greenwood have all moved on loan to Leyton Orient, Plymouth Argyle, and Preston North End, while Robin Koch, Luke Ayling, and Jamie Shackleton have all gone on free transfers. After successful loan stints with Real Betis and Bournemouth, Marc Roca and Luis Sinisterra signed permanent deals with those teams. More importantly, though, highly-rated youngster Archie Gray joined Tottenham Hotspur for £35 million, a move Leeds hopes will increase their capacity to finance another push for a return to the top flight.
Their finances might get even better in the next days, according to Spanish publication Marca, which said that Real Betis of La Liga has put in a £2.5 million bid for Whites defender Diego Llorente. The former Real Madrid and Real Sociedad player has accepted the offer and is reportedly eager to return home. He has already agreed to personal conditions in front of this week’s scheduled medical. Following the Whites’ relegation back into the Championship, Llorente secured a season-long move to Italy, spending last season on loan with Serie A club Roma. Now, he will concentrate on earning a permanent move away from Elland Road and a reunion with former Leeds team-mate Marc Roca.
