AliousFormer Everton CEO Keith Wyness has shared his insights on Leeds United’s potential sale of Wilfried Gnonto this summer.
Wyness, who now advises top clubs through his football consultancy, believes Leeds may have to settle for offers around £30-35 million for the young Italian forward.
Wyness revealed that Everton has shown interest in Gnonto, having monitored him since last summer.
With Leeds failing to secure Premier League promotion in the 2023-24 season, they’re expected to offload several key players.
According to Wyness, Leeds’ position is challenging as they need to sell, which could affect their negotiating power.
He suggested that an “auction” scenario would be ideal for Leeds to maximize Gnonto’s value, but it’s unclear if that’s developing.
Wyness noted that while Gnonto has the potential to succeed in the Premier League, the current market conditions and Leeds’ need to sell might depress his price.
He described the upcoming transfer window as potentially “worrying” for Leeds.
This information comes amidst reports that Everton is renewing its interest in Gnonto, as revealed by Football Insider.
The situation highlights the complex dynamics of the transfer market, especially for clubs facing financial pressures or adjusting to changed circumstances.
