It has put Leeds United in a bit of a conundrum regarding the potential signing of upcoming Italian perfect Wilfried Gnonto.
Farke firmly shut the door to his exit last summer as he went on strike and warned there would be no third time lucky for a player described by team-mates as one of their best.
Summerville’s Spotlight
Crysencio Summerville, another Leeds player, has garnered much attention this summer.
Selling him could significantly boost Leeds’ finances. However, Gnonto’s future also hangs in the balance.
Leeds’ Position
Leeds may be in a strong position to keep Gnonto, but any transfer must be handled carefully to avoid disruptions similar to last year’s.
Gnonto’s Performance and Potential
Gnonto scored four goals and provided an assist in the league last season, all of which came following a slow start to the campaign, but he found form towards the end and finished with seven goals in 11 games.
You could say he is a bargain in that respect, an Italian who already boasts 13 caps and vast untapped potential Swapping agents would suggest a fresh approach, but any switch must be delicately managed to ensure it did not result in clashes with Farke.
Gnonto must choose between staying to aid Leeds’ promotion chase or start again elsewhere and he will need to act as professionally as possible not to repeat his errors.
