Leeds United Confident of Securing Deal for £17m-Rated Gabriel Sara
Leeds United has identified Norwich City playmaker Gabriel Sara as a key target in their bid for promotion, and reports suggest that the club feels confident of securing a deal for the £17m-rated Brazilian.
Sara, 25, was one of the standout performers in the Championship last season, featuring in all 48 games for Norwich and contributing to 27 goals. His impressive form has attracted attention from several clubs, including Serie A side Atalanta. However, Leeds believes that their close proximity to Sara and the opportunity to offer a natural step up to the Premier League makes them the frontrunners to sign him.
Leeds lacks a natural number 10, with Brenden Aaronson being used as a left winger in recent friendlies. However, Sara’s versatility allows him to play in various positions, including deeper in midfield, where he could replace Glen Kamara.
While Leeds has a strong squad, Sara’s addition would bolster their chances of promotion. His creativity and goal-scoring ability would complement the team’s existing attacking options, and his experience in the Championship would be invaluable.
The only obstacle to signing Sara is the potential sale of one of Leeds’ existing players. With Daniel Farke’s 4-2-3-1 system, there is limited space for Sara in the front three positions. However, if Crysencio Summerville or Wilfried Gnonto were to leave, Sara could slot in seamlessly.
Leeds’ confidence in securing a deal for Sara stems from their ability to offer a natural step up to the Premier League. Having played Norwich last season, Leeds believes that Sara will be attracted to the opportunity to join a club fighting for automatic promotion.
As the situation unfolds, Leeds fans will be eagerly awaiting news of the deal. Will the club be able to secure Sara’s signature, or will Atalanta or other clubs rival their interest? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Leeds’ pursuit of Sara demonstrates their ambition and commitment to securing promotion.
