Atletico Madrid want to sign Leeds star, Elland Rd talks planned – report

Atletico Madrid has expressed interest in acquiring Leeds United’s standout winger, Crysencio Summerville, as reported by Graeme Bailey and shared via HITC on April 5, 2024. The Spanish club is not alone in its pursuit, with Bundesliga frontrunners Bayer Leverkusen and Portuguese giants Porto also showing keen interest in the Dutch talent. Additionally, several top English clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, and West Ham, are contemplating making a move for Summerville during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Leeds United, who are on the brink of securing promotion to the Premier League, are planning to engage in talks with Summerville to discuss the possibility of extending his contract at Elland Road. Summerville, who joined Leeds in 2020 from Feyenoord for a modest fee of £1.3 million as reported by The Sun, has had an exceptional season. The Netherlands Under-21 international has contributed significantly to Leeds’ campaign with 17 goals and eight assists in 37 Championship appearances during the 2023-24 season. This impressive performance places him fourth in the Championship for total goal involvements.

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has been instrumental in the club’s success, and retaining a player of Summerville’s caliber would be crucial for the team’s future prospects, especially if they secure promotion. Summerville’s current contract, which has two years remaining, provides Leeds with some bargaining power in any potential negotiations. However, the club may be compelled to consider substantial offers for the winger if they remain in the Championship for another season. Leeds United and its fans are hopeful that promotion can be achieved, avoiding the need to make such difficult decisions.
