Leeds United will have to pay £35m for Udinese star Rodrigo De Paul

The Daily Mail is reporting that Leeds retain an interest in the Udinese playmaker despite failing to sign the Argentina international last summer.

The same article states that Leeds have been tracking Rodrigo for some time following his excellent performances for the Serie A side over the past few seasons.

According to the same story, Leeds are facing competition from newly-crowned La Liga champions Atletico Madrid for the 27-year-old’s signature.

However, the Daily Mail is reporting that Udinese aren’t prepared to sell Rodrigo on the cheap this summer and the Italian side want to secure maximum value.
