Leeds United “to hold talks” with Italian giants over interest in attacking prodigy

According to Inside Futbol, as per website FC Inter News,  Championship side Leeds United and Premier League club Newcastle United are “due to hold talks” with Italian giants Inter Milan over the pair’s interest in attacking prodigy Facundo Colidio.

We covered reports here on The72 claiming that Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has had a man spotted at Inter Milan’s headquarters, which duly sparked speculation surrounding possible interest in Inter Milan players from the Whites, with the reports claiming that talks over the possibility of sending some of Milan’s young talents to Elland Road on loan.

Now, it has been claimed that Leeds United are due to hold talks with Inter over their interest in young Argentine starlet Facundo Colidio, with Premier League side Newcastle United also credited with interest in the highly-rated striker. The two clubs are said to hold “genuine interest” in the youngster and talks will take place to see if a proposed deal could take place.

Colidio is one of Inter’s most highly-coveted youngsters, having paid £8.5 million in the January transfer window to bring him to Italy from Argentine giants Boca Juniors, where he hadn’t even made a senior appearance before leaving the club for a hefty fee.

The 19-year-old has scored 16 goals and providing seven assists for the club’s Primavera side since making the move, also scoring five goals in eight games for Inter in the UEFA Youth League. Colidio has also represented Argentina at youth level, playing for the Under-17s (four games, two goals) and the Under-20s (nine games, three goals).

Colidio is said to be a “great admirer” of Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa. It will be interesting to see if these reports develop into anything further given the previous links between both the Whites and Inter Milan earlier this summer.
