Leeds United transfer rumours: Said Benrahma links renewed but Rodrigo de Paul interest 'over'

Leeds United's hunt for another attacker is on with only a few days until Monday's European deadline.

The Whites - who have started their 2020/21 season very well - have been one of the busiest sides in the Premier League, transfer-wise.

It doesn’t look like they are done there, though, as Marcelo Bielsa chases a couple of last-minute deals to add depth to his impressive squad.

Here are the latest Leeds transfer rumours from around Europe.

Benrahma interest

Leeds United are planning to reignite their interest in Said Benrahma to replace Michael Cuisance.

The Whites want to add another attacker and have been previously linked with the Algerian winger.

Football Insider claim that Leeds will now step up their pursuit after Benrahma made his first appearance of the season for Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Thursday.

Leeds have until October 16 to striker a deal for Benrahma, unlike any European options.

Rodrigo de Paul blow

Andrea Radrizzani has all but shut down Leeds United’s interest in Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul.

The Argentina international has been at the heart of the longest-running saga of the transfer window for the Whites.

Reports from Italy have always been very strong on United’s interest in De Paul, while the player himself has fanned the flames of speculation through social media.

“We thought about it, but I don’t think anyone will sign him,” he told Italian radio station Radio 24.

Nandez bid fails

Leeds United have failed with a £22.5 million bid to sign Nahitan Nandez from Cagliari.

According to Centro Trentuno, the Whites have seen a bid knocked back for the midfield enforcer, with the Serie A side reluctant to sanction a sale.

Earlier this week, Centro Trentuno reported Marcelo Bielsa has been a big fan of Nandez since his impressive spell at Boca Juniors and tried to sign Nandez last summer too.
