AliousAccording to Sky Sports News, Leeds United now faces competition from a European giant in their pursuit of a top attacking target this summer.
The departure of Crysencio Summerville to West Ham United has left a significant gap in Daniel Farke’s Leeds team.
In response, Leeds has identified Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe as their primary candidate to replace Summerville and are currently in negotiations for a deal.
While Norwich is reluctant to sell, Leeds is prepared to increase their offer further.
However, their task has become more challenging with French powerhouse Marseille now expressing interest in Rowe.
Marseille, under the management of Roberto De Zerbi, is investing heavily in new talent.
The club has already secured players like Mason Greenwood and Pierre Emile-Hojberg, demonstrating strong backing from the Stade Velodrome hierarchy.
De Zerbi is seeking to bolster his attacking options further, and Rowe has been added to Marseille’s shortlist of potential signings.
It remains to be seen whether the Ligue 1 giants will submit a bid in the coming days of the transfer window to acquire the Leeds target.
This development adds a new dimension to Leeds’ pursuit of Rowe, potentially complicating their efforts to secure the Norwich City winger.
