Leeds United have been heavily linked with a move for Nahitan Nandez for weeks now.
According to La Nouva Sardegna (via Sportwitness), the Premier League side have offered a fee of around €15 million to loan the midfielder for one season.
The report further states that Marcelo Bielsa’s side will have an obligation to buy the player for another €15 million at the end of next season.
The 25-year-old South American midfielder has done well for Cagliari in the Italian league and signing him for a fee of around €30 million seems quite reasonable.
The player reportedly has a release clause of around €36 million and it would be quite impressive if Leeds managed to sign him for less than that this summer.
Apparently, Cagliari chief Tommaso Giulini has a good relationship with Leeds chief Andrea Radrizzani and it could help seal the deal for Leeds.
The Uruguayan international was linked with Leeds at the start of last season as well and it remains to be seen whether the Whites can finally secure their long term target this summer.
Bielsa needs to add more depth to his central midfield and the 25 year old seems like a good fit because of his style of play and the ability to press relentlessly.
The Leeds manager has helped several players (Phillips, Bamford etc) improve since taking over at Elland Road and he could help Nandez improve as a footballer as well.
