Leeds United have told Italian side Salernitana they will have to pay £1.7million for Leo Hjelde this summer, as per Tutto Salernitana (via Leeds United News
He made 13 Championship appearances for the Millers and featured primarily at left back during his time in the second tier.
That loan move should’ve set the Norway U21 international on the right path to earn first team minutes at Leeds United this summer, but instead he’s featured twice in all competitions and has been subbed off at half time in both outings.
Reports suggested earlier this month that Hjelde was set to move to Serie A, but an injury to Junior Firpo put a halt to that one.
Now though a deal could still be on the cards with new reports claiming Leeds United want £1.7million for their man. It goes on to say Salernitana are struggling to meet the demands after already having a loan-to-buy for £1.2million offer turned down.
