Leeds are currently in the relegation zone, but that has not stopped European giants from taking a look at the squad.

Inter Milan like Illan Meslier – along with AC Milan – as both hunt for a new goalkeeper, despite the fact the Frenchman has slipped behind Lucas Perri and Karl Darlow in the pecking order.

However, a move to AC Milan for Illan Meslier has not been endorsed by Christophe Jallet, who has instead warned the Italian giants against signing the Leeds outcast.

Christophe Jallet tells AC Milan not to sign Illan Meslier

The man who made 198 appearances for PSG now works for Canal+ in France, and spoke to Milan News about the goalkeeping situation at AC Milan.

When asked whether AC Milan should sign Meslier or Toulouse glovesman Guillaume Restes, Jallet said: “Meslier is leaner and more skinny, Restes is more powerful. It’s difficult to choose, but I’d go with Guillaume because he gives me more confidence.”

You can’t really argue against that, considering even Farke himself has little confidence in the 25-year-old.

While a move to AC Milan might not happen for Meslier anymore after these comments, he still seems to have plenty of options.

Leeds United should still be able to sell Illan Meslier in January

Despite his issues at Elland Road, there are still many clubs who admire the Frenchman.

Strasbourg like Meslier and could sign him in January ahead of his contract expiring at the end of the season.

Paying Leeds a small fee in January signals a way for Strasbourg – or any other club – to get ahead of the queue, as the competition will become more fierce once he officially enters free agency.

Looks like the end of the road for Illan Meslier at Leeds United…

“We decided to play two goalkeepers so it was not necessary for him to travel. [Darlow] is ahead of him in the pecking order.”

Anderlecht also admire Meslier and are interested in signing him – while Celtic are monitoring the goalkeeper as well.

Therefore, even if the comments from Jallet have put AC Milan off, Leeds still have a strong chance of negotiating a sale this winter.
