Leeds United transfer rumours as the Whites set price tag for Illan Meslier amid 'quitting' claim

Leeds set price tag for Illan Meslier

Leeds United have set a £30million price tag for French goalkeeper Illan Meslier, according to a report from the Football Insider.

The same outlet claimed that Meslier and fellow teammates Jack Harrison and Robin Koch are expected to quit Leeds if they are relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

Meslier has been linked with multiple Premier League clubs, but is tied to a long-term contract which runs until the summer of 2026.

The 23-year-old has attracted interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. David de Gea is yet to sign a new deal with Manchester United, while Tottenham are on the lookout for veteran Hugo Lloris' successor.

He is just one shy of 100 appearances in the Premier League, and has played 118 times in total since arriving at Elland Road in 2019. The Frenchman has kept five clean sheets in 30 games across all competitions this term, and has conceded 48 goals.

Leeds backed to take a chance on Ryan Kent

Former West Ham United and Celtic forward Frank McAvennie has backed Leeds United to take a chance on Rangers winger Ryan Kent.

Kent is out of contract at the end of the season, while Rangers boss Michael Beale has revealed that no out of contract players have been offered new deals yet.

According to Glasgow Live, Beale has scheduled sit down talks with Kent later this month to try and find a solution regarding his future at Ibrox.

McAvennie believes Leeds will still be playing in the Premier League and has urged them to sign the former Liverpool man on a free transfer in the summer.

"I do not think Leeds will get relegated," he told Football Insider. “I can see Leeds taking a chance on him. I can’t see anyone taking a chance on [Alfredo] Morelos. Certainly not in the Premier League.

"Kent has got talent there is no doubt about that. So, I can see someone thinking they can get the best out of him. Morelos on his day is pretty good but we have not seen that for a long time.

“But I think Leeds might stay up. I think there might be a couple of offers for Kent because he’s available for nothing. You would take your chance on him.“
