Orta in Italy - 2 targets - 1 confirmed
Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2022 6:36 pm
As you may or may not be aware, Victor Orta is in Italy engaging in negotiations for defensive midfield options in advance of Phillips' (likely Monday) departure.
The current state of play:
Camara of Salzburg would like the move but would require a combined package of €30 million to secure his services.
Adams is a cheaper option (€12-15 million) and may also be available on loan
Orta's Italy brief is to assess 2 potential alternative options and I am able to confirm 1 of them to be none other than Nicolò Rovella of Juventus. Leeds have tentatively enquired about a €20 million transfer for the highly rated prospect however Juventus don't see that return on a player they parted with €18 million for just last year as adequate and would like the package to be significantly closer to the €30 million mark. Leeds are confident that they may be able to reach a verbal agreement for a combined package of €27 million (fee + add ons).
The other option is currently unknown however, I will try to gain further knowledge and may be able to provide more info in due course.

*Edit
I am led to believe Hamed Traorè of Sassuolo is not one of the subjects of this trip as the relevant enquiries have long since been made and the club are aware of what is required to secure an agreement with his club.
