The onus is firmly on Brenden Aaronson to make this Leeds United transfer happen if he wants to follow Erling Haaland in bucking a Red Bull Salzburg trend.
The USA international is Victor Orta’s primary transfer target in the January window and it is understood a second bid, of £20m, went into the Austrian giants this week.
However, Aaronson is under contract for another three-and-a-half years with the Red Bull outfit, who are under no pressure to sell in this window.
