Leeds United plan to reopen contract talks with Willy Gnonto this summer as Crystal Palace eye the Italian as a replacement for Michael Olise.

Leeds will be resigned to losing star players this summer after failing to secure promotion in the 23/24 season, including key forwards.

Crysencio Summerville has been the best player in the league and his exit is virtually certain, but others including his close friend Willy Gnonto could join.

Crystal Palace are tracking Willy Gnonto as a replacement for Michael Olise

HITC claim Crystal Palace are closely monitoring Gnonto’s situation at Leeds after the Whites missed out on a return to the front line last month.

The Eagles finished the season in incredible fashion under Oliver Glasner but will see star Michael Olise move to Bayern Munich in a mammoth £60million deal.

They see the Italian as a long-term replacement for the Frenchman and could be ready to make a move in the coming weeks of the transfer window.

Leeds plan to reopen contract talks with Gnonto

What the report also highlights is that Leeds have responded to this ongoing speculation with plans to reopen contract talks with Gnonto this summer.

The 20-year-old revitalized his career at Leeds in 2024 with great form in front of goal after a controversial transfer saga last August, and in between it was revealed the club were confident of agreeing a new deal for him. .

It’s been months since that January update on Gnonto, but with Summerville expected to leave, the club could see Gnonto as a natural replacement on the left.

The 49ers could make the best business of the summer with the new Gnonto contract

If Leeds have somehow managed to keep hold of Gnonto, they have their replacement ready for Summerville right there.

In terms of performance, Gnonto could match what the Dutchman achieved last season and that would be incredible for us.

However, his talent is there for all to see and so it’s very hard to see how we get him to stay another year in the EFL.
