According to Turkish outlet Takvim, Leeds United and Aston Villa are among the teams chasing Branco van den Boomen. The 27-year-old Dutch midfielder will become a free agent as he has decided against renewing with Toulouse, with many other continental sides also keen to secure his signature.
Branco van den Boomen will feel the need for a new challenge away from Toulouse and could evaluate the offers he receives in the next window. The 27-year-old Dutch midfielder will become a free agent when his contract at the French club expires.
His potential availability on a Bosman deal makes him an attractive prospect, with the player attracting plenty of interest. The report talks about the chase for van den Boomen, bringing out the rivalry between Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, with the two sides, among others, offering him a €2 million per season package.
The report mentions consistency around the market regarding interested clubs in the 27-year-old Dutch midfielder. Each of them have offered similar terms, with Leeds United and Aston Villa also among those keen.
The news breaking about Leeds United not taking up the option to sign Weston McKennie permanently will take them back into the market for a new midfielder. The Whites will certainly hope to retain their top-flight status; they are looking at bargain signings to add depth.
Leeds are keen to focus their attempts to shore up their attacking options and even spend on a controlling midfielder. As for the 27-year-old Dutch midfielder, he represents a solid option to bring quality in depth and could become a good addition.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are in the market for top-draw midfielders. Van den Boomen may not come across as one of their primary targets. But Unai Emery might consider him a possible squad option.
