Leeds United finally released £40m price tag as young electrifying goal stopper set to leave

According to Football Insider, Leeds United have set a £40 million price tag on goalkeeper Illan Meslier ahead of the summer transfer season.

The Yorkshire club is fighting for survival, and the 23-year-old shot-stopper is expected to quit Elland Road if Leeds are relegated to the Championship.

According to Football Insider sources, Robin Koch, Illan Meslier, and Jack Harrison are all poised to depart Leeds if they are relegated this season.

Leeds, on the other hand, are under no obligation to sell Meslier this summer after he signed a five-year contract extension in 2021.

The Whites believe Meslier will want to leave if they are relegated, but they are prepared to stick to their £40 million asking price.

This summer, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham have all expressed interest in signing Meslier.

The Leeds No.1 became the Premier League’s youngest goalkeeper to reach 100 appearances earlier this season, and he currently ranks sixth in the league in saves made in 2022/23.

Leeds view Meslier as a player with extremely high potential and a future starter for France, and so they are determined not to lose him for less than their £40million valuation.

He has been an ever-present for Leeds in the Premier League this season, participating in all 30 league games and keeping five clean sheets.

Meslier joined Leeds on loan from Lorient in 2019/20 and quickly pushed his way into the starting lineup ahead of Kiko Casilla.

Following Leeds’ elevation to the Premier League, he became a permanent member of the club and has remained their first-choice goalkeeper ever since.

In other developments, Leeds United’s intention has been verified as a game-changing transfer development.
