However, according to Football Insider, Leeds have lodged an official £15 million bid for the player already.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is reportedly keen to add another attacking midfielder to his ranks, and it seems they are serious about landing him.
The Yorkshire side see him as a good fit for their style of play. The player scored six goals in the top flight last term.
Leeds are also looking to sign Gyrano Kerk from FC Utrecht in the summer transfer window.
