The agent of Leeds United attacker Wilfried Gnonto was seen at Inter Milan’s offices yesterday.
That is according to FC Inter News, who report Gnonto’s representative Claudio Vigorelli made the trip to Inter headquarters to offer his client to the club.
Gnonto is a boyhood Inter fan and spent much of his time as a youth player in the academy of the Champions League finalists before making the move to FC Zurich in 2020.
It is said that Gnonto would ‘gladly’ make the switch back to the San Siro, with Vigorelli claiming in an interview with Calcio Mercato earlier this week the Leeds star would like to continue playing at the top level.
Gnonto’s focus can now switch fully to sorting out his future at club level after Italy U21s were knocked out of the EUROs last night after a 1-0 defeat to Norway.
Gnonto’s agent spotted at Inter Milan offices
Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League has drawn up the possibility of several players leaving this summer and Gnonto is one likely to be highly sought after.
However, San Francisco 49ers Enterprises are keen to build a team capable of promotion around the likes of Gnonto and will do everything in their power to keep him.
Additionally, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds are yet to receive any offers or interest in Gnonto this summer, despite the mounting speculation.
Based on this latest update, it feels as though Gnonto’s agent is the one engineering an exit from Elland Road, with the Italian press having linked him with several clubs, and him now offering his client out to Inter.
Leeds must remain firm in their position of wanting to keep him regardless of what Gnonto’s agent is getting up to, as ultimately they are in a strong position given his contract status.
