Leeds in talks to sign £27m De Paul from Udinese

Leeds are eager to continue their summer spending spree as the Premier League newcomers have opened talks with Udinese to sign Rodrigo De Paul, Goal has learned.

The Serie A side are demanding €30 million (£27m/$36m) for the 26-year-old attacking midfielder and he is also being monitored by some top Italian teams.

De Paul signed a contract extension with Udinese last October and is tied to the club until 2024. The Argentina international moved to Italy from Valencia in 2016 and has made 146 appearances in all competitions, scoring 25 goals.
