Leeds United set huge Wilfried Gnonto transfer asking price as new exit route emerges
Leeds United have reportedly slapped a £50million price tag on Willy Gnonto amid transfer interest in the Whites' star forward.
The 21-year-old has been a regular fixture in Daniel Farke's team this season, having played in all but two Championship matches for Leeds so far in 2024/25. Gnonto has scored five goals and provided five assists across all competitions for the Whites during the current campaign.
And The Sun have claimed Leeds will be wanting at least £50m for the Italian, who reportedly remains the subject of interest from a number of unnamed Saudi Pro League sides. Farke's side will be relieved that the Saudi transfer window closed on Friday, but there will be some concern that Gnonto could still depart in the summer.

Gnonto committed his future to Leeds last summer after signing a new four-year contract with the club. The Italian international has been a major part of the Whites since arriving in the summer of 2022 and has previously spoken of his love for Leeds.
“Since the start, I felt like Leeds United was like a family," he told the club's' official website after signing his most recent contract. "I felt at home since the start and the fans were with me. My teammates helped me through the start.
"I have many teammates, many changes, but I feel like this is a good place to be and I feel like I can improve even more. I feel like I can bring many things to the table. I know my qualities, of course and I know my character, I feel like I can gel really well with the team. So I try to give my best every time and I feel like everyone can see it.”
