Leeds United news as fresh AC Milan-Club Brugge Charles De Ketelaere meeting bears no fruit

Here are the latest Leeds United evening headlines on Tuesday, 26 July.

Still no Milan CDK agreement

AC Milan and Club Brugge held another fruitless meeting over a deal for attacker Charles de Ketelaere. That is according to Milan News, who claim that the two clubs met in Switzerland today, though the Serie A side have refused to increase their offer, while Brugge are standing firm in their valuation.

Leeds United remain the side with the only bid Brugge deem acceptable at this stage, but de Ketelaere’s preference for Milan still stands between them completing a deal. The Whites are said to have offered between €37 and €40 million, while Milan are reluctant to go above €32 million.

Left-back linked

Leeds United have added Real Madrid left-back Miguel Gutierrez to their transfer list, according to reports. Journalist Ekrem Konur has reported that Leeds could make a move for the 20-year-old.

The Whites are on the hunt for a left-back after Leif Davis departed Elland Road to join League One side Ipswich Town on Monday. Junior Firpo, Leeds' first-choice left-back, will miss the start of the Premier League season through injury, while Jesse Marsch has 18-year-old Leo Hjelde in reserve. Jack Harrison and Pascal Struijk have also been tried at left-back during pre-season.

U21s boss links

Leeds United have reprtedly agreed a deal for Michael Skubala to become their under-21s head coach. The Daily Mail claim that the former England futsal head coach is set to fill the vacancy.

Leeds have been on the hunt for a new under-21s head coach after Mark Jackson, who led the side last season, was promoted to Jesse Marsch's staff as first-team coach.

For the last 12 months, Skubala has been working as an under-18s coach at the Football Association - working with the Youth Development Phase and Professional Development Phase outfits.
