The Newcastle-based news outlet claims in an exclusive piece [22 July] that the Englishman prefers a move to Leeds to the Premier League club.
A relocation to Yorkshire will keep him closer to his family in the North-East, which has been the 32-year-old’s home for the last nine years.
Newcastle is said to demand £5 million, but will accept a lower bid because the goalkeeper wants to leave this summer.
Register him.
The fact that he prefers a Championship team to a Premier League club shows that Leeds are still a better option than relegation hopefuls in the Premier League.
They may have had a rough season in 2022/23, but with a new management and ownership, things are looking up for them.
Darlow has been heavily connected with a move to Elland Road, and the ball now appears to be in Leeds’ court.
With Bournemouth showing interest, he appeared to be considering a move to another Premier League team.
However, if Leeds can raise a price that matches Newcastle’s valuation, the trade may be completed very soon.
It is also unknown what the future holds for Illan Meslier, as Darlow is unlikely to return.
