Leeds United are interested in signing Barcelona’s Spanish wonderkid Ilias Akhomach in the summer on a free transfer.
The club is looking to build a new team for the upcoming season by targeting young talent from around the world, and they have set their sights on Barcelona B winger Ilias Akhomach.
The 18-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is reportedly unhappy with the wages he has been offered by Barcelona. This has put Leeds in a strong position to swoop for the young forward, with director of football Victor Orta monitoring his situation closely.
AC Milan are also said to be interested in Akhomach, but they have not guaranteed him regular first-team football. Leeds, on the other hand, are willing to give him that opportunity, which could make them a more attractive option for the youngster.
Leeds’ recent success in bringing in talented teenagers like Wilfried Gnonto has shown that they are serious about building for the future. Gnonto has impressed in his first season with the club, and there are other young players in the squad who are getting regular game time.
Ilias Akhomach could see Leeds as a great opportunity to continue his development as a player, and the fact that the club is showing an interest in him is a positive sign for his future.
Of course, the biggest challenge for Leeds will be to retain their Premier League status. The team is currently in 19th place, and have appointed Spanish tactician Javi Gracia as their new head coach subject to obtaining a work permit.
However, there is still a lot of football to be played this season, and Leeds has shown that they have the potential to compete with some of the best teams in the league.
If the team can stay up, they will be in a much stronger position to lure Akhomach to Elland Road. The prospect of playing in the Premier League with a club that will give him regular game time could be very appealing to the young forward.
Akhomach is a special talent. Let’s see if Leeds United are able to sign him. It is a signing we cannot go wrong with, on a free transfer and we must go for it.
