Leeds United have been left frustrated in their late window pursuit of an attacking midfielder.
The brilliant playmaker, however turned down a move to Elland Road despite their £25 million bid being accepted for Dinamo Zagreb’s Martin Baturina.
Desperate for Creativity
But ahead of the summer, Leeds United know they will be losing key players like Georginio Rutter and Glen Kamara and are in desperate need of bolstering their creative options.
The club has been in the market for a midfielder who can be successful for these departures.
Their pursuit of Baturina was seen as a crucial move to inject fresh creativity into the squad, especially after missing out on promotion last season.
Failed Attempts and Running Out of Time
Leeds have been looking for several options, even a possible offer of Gustavo Hamer to Sheffield United but without success.
The club went as far to propose a cash-plus-player with Joel Piroe, but Sheffield United had no desire to sell their man.
With the clock ticking down, Leeds United are running out of time to bring in those much-needed reinforcements.
Baturina’s rejection piles the pressure on to identify a viable alternative before the window slams shut.
