BREAKING NEWS:Leeds United key player refuses to sign a new contract and insisted leaving due to
Burnley were obliged to pay a £15 million transfer fee for Tresor this summer after triggering an obligation in his loan deal from KRC Genk, however attempts were made to send the Belgian out on loan during the final stages of the summer window.
Reported talks between Burnley and OGC Nice, as well as Ajax broke down, leading Tresor to share a cryptic post on his Instagram story this week, appearing to show his disdain through the medium of a meme.
The Dutch market remained open until midnight on Monday, September 2 while Tresor’s post appeared on social media the morning of Tuesday, September 3.
Leeds United eventually filled their midfield void with the deadline-day signing of Ao Tanaka from Fortuna Dusseldorf, but the Japan star was certainly not Leeds’ top target for that role.
Tanaka, 25, made his debut just over 24 hours after Leeds confirmed the 27-time Japan star’s arrival. He came on as a sub for the last few minutes of Leeds’ 2-0 win over Hull City on Saturday at Elland Road.
Fans are excited by the arrival of the Japan star. Especially as Tanaka has scored goals against Spain at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and against Germany for his country. A technically-gifted, hard-working player.
But Tanaka was not the first player Leeds tried to sign as Daniel Farke eyed a goalscoring midfielder that could play alongside the likes of captain Ethan Ampadu or Ilia Gruev in holding midfield this season.
Leeds made a bid to sign Dejan Ljubicic but he has stayed put
Ljubicic, 26, was the subject of Leeds interest throughout the window. Leeds tabled a bid of £3.3m for the Austria star but it was some way away from Koln’s asking price of £6m and an improved bid didn’t arrive.
