Leeds United winger Willy Gnonto is said to have attracted transfer interest from the Saudi Pro League

Leeds United have reportedly slapped a £50million price tag on Willy Gnonto amid transfer interest in the Whites' star forward.

The 21-year-old has been a regular fixture in Daniel Farke's team this season, having played in all but two Championship matches for Leeds so far in 2024/25. Gnonto has scored five goals and provided five assists across all competitions for the Whites during the current campaign.

And The Sun have claimed Leeds will be wanting at least £50m for the Italian, who reportedly remains the subject of interest from a number of unnamed Saudi Pro League sides. Farke's side will be relieved that the Saudi transfer window closed on Friday, but there will be some concern that Gnonto could still depart in the summer.

Gnonto committed his future to Leeds last summer after signing a new four-year contract with the club. The Italian international has been a major part of the Whites since arriving in the summer of 2022 and has previously spoken of his love for Leeds.

“Since the start, I felt like Leeds United was like a family," he told the club's' official website after signing his most recent contract. "I felt at home since the start and the fans were with me. My teammates helped me through the start.

"I have many teammates, many changes, but I feel like this is a good place to be and I feel like I can improve even more. I feel like I can bring many things to the table. I know my qualities, of course and I know my character, I feel like I can gel really well with the team. So I try to give my best every time and I feel like everyone can see it.”

Leeds United transfer double development with striker so far unavailable and defender 'bafflement' — YEP 30/1/25

-
By Graham Smyth A striker viewed by Leeds United as a possible reinforcement for Daniel Farke’s attacking options has so far been declared unavailable by his club. The Whites have long admired Cameron Archer of Southampton and made enquiries in previous windows but as reports emerge that an approach has been rejected by the Saints, the YEP understands that Leeds will continue to monitor his situation. Southampton are not currently willing to sanction an exit for a player who has started 10 games in the Premier League and made 25 appearances in all competitions so far this season. Archer, 23, has scored five goals for the Saints, only two of which came in league action. He has previously proven prolific at Championship level in loan spells for both Preston North End and Middlesbrough. Southampton have already shipped on one striker in the January transfer window, with the loan move of Ben Brereton Diaz to Leeds’ title rivals Sheffield United. The Chilean international struggled fo...

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...
