Leeds United transfer rumours as managerial offer caused Rayo Vallecano chief's offices to 'tremble'

Here are your Leeds United transfer rumours and gossip for Tuesday, February 21.

Leeds United's Andoni Iraola offer made Rayo Vallecano chief's office 'tremble'

Leeds United's hunt for Rayo Vallecano manager Andoni Iraola reportedly caused the Spanish club's offices to 'tremble' with fear that he might jump ship to Elland Road.

The Whites, who have been without a manager for two weeks since the sacking of Jesse Marsch, were rejected by Iraola, who has guided Vallecano up to sixth in La Liga - trailing the Champions League places by just seven points.

But Vallecano chief David Cobeño claimed that the reports of Iraola being close to leaving were always wrong and he never doubted the Spaniard's loyalty.

"Iraola is a man of his word and from the club there was no doubt that he would continue and help us until the end of the season," Cobeño told Tele Madrid.

"We are super happy with Andoni and we want him to continue. After achieving the objectives of the season, we will sit down and we will all do our part so that we can continue on this path that it's already been going on for three seasons and hopefully there will be many more".

PAOK set asking price for Leeds-linked starlet

Greek outfit PAOK has reportedly set an asking price for their star midfielder Giannis Konstantelias who has been linked to numerous clubs across Europe's top five leagues including Leeds United.

The 19-year-old most recently notched a nice assist in their 2-0 win over AEK Athens, marking his seventh goal involvement in 22 appearances so far this season.

According to Inside Futbol, AC Milan have already offered €10 million (£8.8m) but the Whites would have to fork up €15m (£13.3m) to €20m (£17.7m) if they want to acquire Konstantelias' services in the summer transfer window.
