Aidy White set for final talks

Aidan White will request a final meeting with Leeds United in a bid to clarify his future as interest in the winger’s signature grows.
Representatives of the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international are to push for a decision on White’s fate with his contract at Elland Road due to expire in less than three weeks’ time.
Negotiations over a new deal have reached an impasse, with White unlikely to accept Leeds’ most recent proposal and United reluctant to improve their offer to him, and he is poised to push ahead with the search for a new club.
German side Werder Bremen and French outfit Lille were strongly linked with White last week and the YEP understands that other overseas clubs have expressed an interest in him.
Leeds will receive compensation if White leaves Elland Road but clubs outside England have the security of incurring a fixed sum decided by a clear FIFA formula.
English sides would be forced to agree compensation through a private deal with Leeds or face the unpredictability of a fee decided by tribunal. White’s value is widely expected to be in excess of £500,000 following his recent involvement with the Republic of Ireland’s Under-21 squad.
Three Premier League clubs are understood to have made inquiries about United’s 20-year-old academy product, on top of one from the Scottish Premier League.
Leeds boss Neil Warnock has indicated that White is likely to move on, saying: “I don’t expect he’ll accept the offer from what I was told by his advisors.”
