Everton and Serie A teams may be interested in Wilfried Gnonto in January, but the cost may prevent him from leaving Leeds in time for a winter transfer.
Wilfried Gnonto is still eager to move and may leave Leeds in the upcoming months, according to reports. Leeds battled hard to retain Gnonto throughout the summer transfer window and had to keep persuading him that they were the appropriate club for his advancement.
Sources close to the player believe a January transfer is possible, and the Toffees have not wavered in their interests. Gnonto has been at the top of the Merseyside club’s hit list since Leeds were relegated at the end of last season.
The Whites lost a number of key players after facing the drop, with many of them holding loan clauses in their deals should the club be relegated. The board, however, refused to sanction the sale of the Italian international as he was needed in their push to return to the top flight at the first time of asking.
Everton offered over £20 million during the summer to try and convince Leeds to sell, but ended up unsuccessful in their pursuit of the teenage talent. However, the clubs did come to an agreement for the season-long loan of Jack Harrison.
