leeds united There will be a new pursuit for Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, with Illan Meslier set to join Arsenal on a free transfer.
tuttomerkatoweb The report says Leeds are continuing their pursuit of the Japanese goalkeeper, but Parma are holding firm.
leeds made a serious push
The website reports that Leeds Zion are making a 'serious pursuit' of Suzuki. They are looking for a new goalkeeper this summer.
According to their information, Daniel Farke's side will renew their interest in the 23-year-old player. He also has interest from Juventus and other English clubs.
Initial exploratory talks have already taken place between Leeds and Parma. But, unfortunately for the Premier League side, these have failed to deliver positive results so far. However, this has not disheartened Leeds. It is said that they are ready to give the goalkeeper another push.
They are in need of a new addition in goal this summer, with Karl Darlow and Illan Meslier both departing on free transfers this summer.
The latter is on his way to Arsenal, where he has already had a medical and has reportedly signed a contract with the Gunners. Darlow has also been linked with a move to the Premier League.
€30m asking price
Meanwhile, Leeds have been left with Lucas Perry and Alex Cairns as their goalkeeping options. The former was signed the previous summer, but sat on the bench as the season ended as Farke turned to Darlow and his experience.
This appears to have prompted them to make a deal for Zion Suzuki. Sports Witness has covered his interests and endeavors for months.
In the last of those reports, two days ago, it was also reported that they were eyeing a double raid on Parma for their goalkeeper and midfielder Mandela Keita.
The goalkeeper is reportedly worth more than €30m. It remains to be seen whether Leeds are willing to pay this or not. But they are planning a new bid as Meslier is moving to London.
