AliousWilfried Gnonto is likely to remain at Leeds United this season, despite Everton’s £23 million bid being rejected.
While Italian clubs have shown interest, no official offers have been made from Italy.
The Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Gnonto hasn’t submitted any transfer requests this season and has been training regularly without showing signs of dissatisfaction.
The Gnonto transfer saga has been ongoing since last season, with Everton showing persistent interest.
However, Leeds seems reluctant to lose the winger, who could potentially fill the void left by Crysencio Summerville’s departure to West Ham United.
Leeds’ attacking lineup has been a topic of discussion following Summerville’s exit.
Manager Daniel Farke will need to find ways to replicate Summerville’s output to have a chance at promotion.
Gnonto is considered one of the top candidates to become a key player for Leeds.
While there has been speculation about Gnonto’s future due to interest from various clubs, Everton is no longer in contention after their busy transfer window.
Only Italian suitors remain interested in the winger.
Reports from Italy suggest Gnonto wants to play in Serie A and is keen on leaving Elland Road.
These claims likely stem from last season’s drama when Gnonto expressed reluctance to play in the Championship, leading to a conflict with the club management.
A year ago, Leeds initiated disciplinary proceedings against Gnonto following his transfer request, which the club promptly rejected.
This led to Gnonto temporarily stopping training and missing matches.The club issued a statement addressing the situation, emphasizing that Gnonto was not for sale and treating the matter as an internal disciplinary issue.
Eventually, Gnonto apologized and resumed his career at Leeds. This season, he appears content playing for the club and is expected to take on a more significant role in Farke’s team.
