With just one year remaining on his contract in Wales, his club are looking to complete a sale in order to get as much value as possible from him rather than lose the player for free. Leeds United are one of several clubs with a reported interest, rivalling the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/live-blogs\/transfer-news-live-latest-updates\/Svywco7COtVa\/Ui2kqAHFnSrw\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leicester City and Southampton<\/a>. Completing this deal will be a major coup for the club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/23\/exclusive-leeds-united-glen-kamara-rangers\/\" target=\"_self\">Leeds United Set to Sign<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/23\/exclusive-leeds-united-glen-kamara-rangers\/\" target=\"_self\"> Midfielder<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What Does a Joel Piroe Leeds United Move Look Like?<\/h3>\n<p>According to Phil Hay&#8217;s report in The Athletic, the Elland Road hierarchy value their target at anything from \u00a38-10 million. With interest from other clubs floating around there is every chance that this sum could become inflated, but with the new ownership&#8217;s emphasis on intelligent negotiations, it&#8217;s not likely to be too much more. A reasonably long contract is also expected, with the club continuing to focus on retaining talented players for as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/23\/leeds-united-joel-piroe-southampton-leicester-swansea\/\" target=\"_self\">Leeds United Close in on Long-Term Target<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>What Leeds United Need to Do Now?<\/h3>\n<p>Daniel Farke&#8217;s side still have a lot of work to do in the window. The club still desperately need a left-back with Sam Byram currently filling in in that position, and central midfield still looks relatively weak. With just over a week left of the window, Thorp Arch is sure to see plenty more arrivals.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Joe Blackburn, licensed to Last Word on Sports.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Fabrizio Romano, Leeds United are set to sign Swansea City&#8217;s Joel Piroe by the end of the week.
