(Action Images\/Craig Brough)<\/p>\n<p>The Nerazzurri believe they could be getting a significant coup if they land Meslier for free in the summer of 2026, while United are still looking to bring in a transfer fee for the \u2018keeper by selling him in the January window.<\/p>\n<p>Career lifeline looms for Illan Meslier as Inter Milan come calling this January<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s remarkable to see how Meslier has gone from being one of the most highly-rated \u2018keepers in Europe as a teenager, to where he\u2019s at now.<\/p>\n<p>Under Marcelo Bielsa when we finished 9th in the Premier League, he looked like a ridiculous goalkeeping talent. Since then, it\u2019s unfortunately been all downhill for him.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is in agreement, probably including Meslier himself, that the only way his career progresses from here is a transfer away from Leeds.<\/p>\n<p>That lifeline could come in a really intriguing manner if Inter are the side that sign him, knowing he\u2019d be going from a high-pressure Elland Road, to one of the biggest clubs in world football.<\/p>\n<p>For United, a PSR boost from his sale would be a nice way to kickstart the January window.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier needs to leave the club to jumpstart his career, and Inter Milan might&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470099,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,25764,393,4884,337,8883,1860,2922,142361,142362,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-470098","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-elland-road","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-illan-meslier","13":"tag-inter-milan","14":"tag-leeds","15":"tag-leeds-united","16":"tag-lufc","17":"tag-the-whites","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115308178598732128","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470098","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=470098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
