Leeds have made a few blunders in the transfer market in recent years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is now obvious that Daniel Farke was wrong to oust Charlie Cresswell<\/a> as Juventus and West Ham target the England U21 international \u2013 who Leeds<\/a> sold to Toulouse in July 2024 for just \u00a34m. <\/p>\n

Loaning Joe Gelhardt back to Hull City<\/a> also seems to have been a mistake, as the 23-year-old can currently boast six goals in his last seven Championship appearances.<\/p>\n

Who do you want Leeds to sign in January? <\/p>\n

Now \u2013 according to L\u2019Unione Sarda<\/a> \u2013 another player sold for peanuts by Leeds in Elia Caprile<\/a> is attracting interest from the Premier League like Cresswell.<\/p>\n

Elia Caprile tipped to make Premier League move after 2022 Leeds United exit<\/p>\n

Leeds sold the Italian to Bari for just \u00a31.4m back in July 2022 \u2013 having never made a single senior appearance for the Whites following a move from Chievo in January 2020.<\/p>\n

However, Caprile \u2013 who Inter Milan admire<\/a> \u2013 could soon be facing Leeds next season, if Premier League survival is secured this term.<\/p>\n

L\u2019Unione Sarda claim that the 24-year-old is currently \u2018destined\u2019 to make a move to the Premier League at the end of the season as he shines for Cagliari, where he can boast two clean sheets in 12 Serie A appearances so far this term. <\/p>\n

Who should start in goal for Leeds United? <\/p>\n

The Italian news outlet even state that Caprile is on a \u201csimilar path\u201d to that of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Manchester City No.25 who is widely considered to be the best goalkeeper on the planet.<\/p>\n

As Lucas Perri struggles to convince<\/a> Leeds fans following his \u00a316m move from Lyon, it is a bittersweet sight to see Caprile steadily developing into a tremendous glovesman. <\/p>\n

Leeds United have already benefitted from the Elia Caprile sell-on clause<\/p>\n

There will be no financial benefit for Leeds if Caprile makes a lucrative return to England in 2026, as the Whites have already seen their 50% sell-on clause<\/a> activated.<\/p>\n

Robbie Evans on Leeds United\u2019s PSR position: <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis summer, we spent everything we could. Unequivocally, we are maxing PSR out this season. If we had gone on to other targets [on deadline day], the consequences would have been seen in the current roster. More key players from last season would have had to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The man born in Verona moved from Bari to Napoli in July 2023 in a \u00a33m deal, which landed Leeds a sum of \u00a31.5m thanks to the sell-on clause.<\/p>\n

However, the clause was only active for that particular transfer, meaning Leeds stand to gain no financial benefits should Caprile come back to the Premier League in 2026. <\/p>\n
