"Leeds United could face a major test of resolve in the next window with Wilfried Gnonto attracting significant attention from the Saudi Pro League. Multiple reports indicate that well-funded clubs are preparing proposals to prise the Italy international away from Elland Road, potentially as early as January. Backed by the Public Investment Fund and emboldened by recent high-profile raids on Europe's talent pool, Saudi bidders appear confident they can table offers that suit both club and player."
"According to MOT Leeds News, investors tied to NEOM and Al-Ittihad are lining up approaches for Gnonto. Saudi clubs linked with the Public Investment Fund (PIF) have demonstrated an ability to meet ambitious fees and wages. That financial muscle is central to the belief an offer could be irresistible if it lands at the right moment for Leeds' squad planning."
"The youngster has started the season well for the Whites and their chances of survival in the Premier League will depend on how he performs this season. With NEOM and Al-Ittihad linked to moves and the PIF-fueled market capable of testing Leeds' valuation, the Whites must decided whether they are ready to cash in on the young Italian if they receive a massive offer or they are willing to keep him and turn him into an even better player."
Wilfried Gnonto has attracted significant interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, with well-funded bidders preparing approaches possibly as early as January. Investors tied to NEOM and Al-Ittihad and clubs linked to the Public Investment Fund have the financial capacity to meet high fees and wages. Gnonto's contract at Elland Road runs until June 2028, giving Leeds negotiating leverage and no obligation to accept offers below valuation. Leeds must decide whether to accept a large bid to fund squad planning or retain Gnonto to aid Premier League survival and player development. The club's choice will shape their mid-season strategy and long-term planning.
