The Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline is fast approaching on June 30 and for clubs in danger of breaking rules, they will need to sell before the deadline strikes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last season, it saw Leeds<\/a> have to offload one key player before the deadline and it came in the form of Archie Gray. The Thorp Arch<\/a> product completed a \u00a340m move to Tottenham before the deadline struck.<\/p>\n

Now promoted, Leeds do not have to be concerned with breaking PSR guidelines though it is something they are remaining aware of. Leeds have identified Pascal Struijk and Willy Gnonto as profitable sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Leeds can take advantage of other Premier League<\/a> clubs needing to make a big sale for the deadline and one club in danger of failing to meet the guidelines are Aston Villa, under Unai Emery.<\/p>\n

A report from Give Me Sport<\/a> says Aston Villa do have to sell players before the 30 June deadline in order to comply with PSR, and failure to do so could see Emery\u2019s men incur a points deduction next season.<\/p>\n

Well, Leeds are certainly interested in one of Aston Villa\u2019s players and it is Emi Buendia<\/a>. LeedsUnited.News understands that Leeds will either sign Buendia or Gustavo Hamer<\/a> with The Whites keen on a new no.10.<\/p>\n

Buendia has long been linked with a move to Leeds<\/a>, choosing Leverkusen in January as he refused to drop into the Championship. Now promoted, Leeds have every chance of signing Buendia this summer.<\/p>\n

Given Aston Villa\u2019s status in regards to PSR, Emery\u2019s men may be willing to accept a cut-price offer before the PSR deadline and Leeds should be looking to take full advantage and finally lure Buendia to Leeds.<\/p>\n

How much do Aston Villa want to sell Emi Buendia this summer<\/p>\n

Of course, a move to Leeds would see Buendia form a reunion with Daniel Farke<\/a>. Farke praised Buendia in January amid the links, with the Argentine enjoying the best form of his career under Farke\u2019s guidance.<\/p>\n

Reports this week say Villa are open to cashing in on Buendia for \u00a320m<\/a>, half the price they paid for the former Getafe man. Leeds have shown they are more than willing to part with this kind of fee on a player.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the club are said to have made two bids for Habib Diarra above the \u00a320m mark<\/a>. Villa need to sell, are open to selling Buendia and need to make a sale before the deadline. Leeds then, need to act.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline is fast approaching on June 30 and for clubs in danger of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":176556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,46892,393,4884,1860,100,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-216118","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-emi-buendia","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-transfer-news","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114750208456275435","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
