Leeds United are looking to improve their attacking unit, and they want to sign Andrea Pinamonti from Sassuolo.

According to Alfredo Pedulla, Leeds United reached an agreement to sign the 26-year-old Italian striker, but the player has turned down the move. He is not keen on joining the newly promoted Premier League club. It will be interesting to see if Leeds decide to move on to the targets now.

It is no secret that they need a quality striker for the upcoming campaign. They need someone who can score goals consistently, and the 26-year-old would have been ideal. The Italian has shown his quality in Serie A, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to succeed in the Premier League as well.

Blow for Leeds in transfer pursuit

Meanwhile, Leeds will be thoroughly disappointed with the player’s decision. They were hoping to get the deal done and managed to convince his club as well. It seems that the player is looking to join a bigger club where he will be able to fight for trophies.

Leeds have recently been promoted to the first division, and they are not quite at the required level to attract top-quality players. Meanwhile, Italian club Atalanta are keen on Pinamonti. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. The 26-year-old will be attracted to the idea of joining Atalanta if the opportunity presents itself. They have an exciting project and a talented squad. It would be a more attractive option for him compared to Leeds United.

Meanwhile, Leeds need quality players if they want to survive in the top flight. They will not want to come back to the Championship next summer. It will be interesting to see if they can add more quality and depth to the side during the summer transfer window. Signing a reliable striker will be one of their priorities. They need to bounce back from the setback and move on to other targets quickly so that they can improve that position before the new season begins.
