Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier has been linked with a move away from the club, and Inter Milan are keen on signing him.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, several clubs are interested in 25-year-old Leeds United goalkeeper Illian Meslier, but Inter Milan are now leading the race for him. It remains to be seen whether the Serie A outfit can get the deal done.
The 25-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the Premier League club, and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in Italy will be quite exciting for him, especially if they are willing to provide him regular opportunities. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Inter Milan will be able to provide him with UEFA Champions League football and the opportunity to fight for the Serie A title. Meslier will be hoping to get his career back on track with regular football. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can agree on a deal when the transfer window opens in January.
Leeds United unlikely to block Meslier exit
Leeds United have already replaced Illian Meslier, and they are unlikely to stand in his way. The Frenchman is not a key player for them, and he is unlikely to get regular opportunities in the coming months. It would be ideal for the Premier League club to sell him and invest the proceeds from his departure into the playing squad.
The Whites are looking to do well in the Premier League this season, and they will be hoping to secure a respectable finish. Improving the squad in the winter transfer window would be ideal for them as well.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan need more quality and depth in the goalkeeping department amid Yann Sommer’s advancing age, and the 25-year-old could be a useful acquisition. Meslier is young enough to improve further and he could develop into an important player for the Serie A giants.
Given his situation at Leeds United, Inter Milan will be hoping to sign him for a reasonable amount of money. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. However, the Nerazzurri face stiff competition from eight other clubs for his signature: FC Lorient, Valencia, Rangers, Fiorentina, Como, Stade Rennais, Fenerbahce, and Galatasaray.
