After winning the race to sign Harry Wilson, Leeds United look to pick up where they left off in the transfer window by welcoming further reinforcements.
The Yorkshire club ended last season’s trend of newly promoted teams being immediately relegated and now hopes to avoid severe second-season syndrome.
With that in mind, the opportunity to sign Rooney Bulge from Barcelona certainly comes at a good time.
Football Fancast Verdict | |
|---|---|
reliability | The arrival of Karim Adeyemi forced Baljiji out of Barcelona, resulting in his agent contacting suitors. That includes Leeds, who could sign Daniel Farke, one of Europe’s most talented young players. |
finances | Given that Barcelona are pushing Barjigi towards the exit door, they may be willing to accept a reduced price or even a loan deal this summer. The Catalan giants only signed the young star last year for £2m, so they should at least make some money. |
insight | Bulge has spent the past 12 months confronting the harsh realities of life at the top. He has shown a lot of glimpses of what he can offer Barcelona, but it’s not enough. Unfortunately, the 20-year-old is still very talented and could quickly become the biggest regret for those involved at Camp Nou. |
impact | That’s a statement from Leeds’ side and could take up a lot of their budget. After the bulge, the big question will be whether they return to the market further. |
Premier League clubs are on high alert, with Barjiji looking for his next club, making this one of the most interesting transfer battles of the summer.
Leeds in contract talks with Rooney Bulge
According to Team Talk, Leeds are currently in contract negotiations with Buljige and have been contacted by his agent. Barcelona have given the green light for the winger to leave and have already signed his replacement, Karim Adeyemi.
The Catalan giants are now pushing the Swede towards the exit door in a huge boost to the players at Elland Road. However, there is a lot of competition within the Premier League, so the Yorkshire club need to convert negotiations into an offer as soon as possible if they want to sign Baldigi.
Leeds should go all out to sign ‘incredible’ Buljige
Opportunities to sign the best young players don’t come along very often. But for Leeds, it landed right at their feet. Now they need to make the most of it.
Described as “incredible” by scout Antonio Mango, Barjisi started seven games for Barcelona last season and was involved in two goals, and is in desperate need of a move if he is to realize his full potential.
It is noteworthy that in his last full season in Copenhagen, the 20-year-old became the star of the show, scoring 11 goals in all competitions. His potential was always clear to everyone.
