Amina UmarLeeds United are keenly interested in signing PEC Zwolle defender Anselmo Garcia MacNulty, according to Voetbal International. The 21-year-old defender is a versatile player who can play as a center-back and left-back, making him an attractive option for Leeds United.
Leicester City were also interested in signing MacNulty, but they have other plans now that they have secured promotion to the Premier League. Leeds United, on the other hand, are still keen on signing him despite missing out on promotion last season.PEC Zwolle are reluctant to sell MacNulty, who has become a key player for them since joining from VfL Wolfsburg last year.
Leeds United will have to make a tempting offer to convince PEC Zwolle to sell the young defender.Leeds United need to strengthen their defense, particularly in the full-back areas. With limited funds available, Daniel Farke is looking for players who can perform multiple roles.
MacNulty fits the bill, and his ability to play as a center-back and left-back makes him an attractive option for Leeds United.The Whites have limited options in the full-back areas, with Junior Firpo being the only natural left-back. Connor Roberts, who joined on loan in January, has returned to his parent club, and Leeds United decided not to sign him permanently. Signing MacNulty would provide additional depth in the full-back areas and give Farke more options in defense.In other Leeds United news, a 23-year-old midfielder is likely to play a key role under Farke at Elland Road.
The midfielder has impressed Farke with his performances and is expected to be a key player for Leeds United next season.Overall, Leeds United’s interest in MacNulty is a clear indication of their intent to strengthen their defense ahead of next season. With his versatility and ability to play multiple roles, MacNulty would be a valuable addition to the Leeds United squad.
However, convincing PEC Zwolle to sell him will not be easy, and Leeds United will have to make a tempting offer to secure his signature.
