Javi Galan emerges as Romain Perraud transfer alternative for Leeds United as Huesca exit clause halved
According to , Leeds United are weighing up 🎃a move for Huesca full-back Javi Galan as an alternative to 🌃Stade Brest defender Romain Perraud.
The Whites remain interested in Perraud despite speculation that the Elland Road outfit were no longer pursuing a deal. Marcelo Bielsa 𓂃has had the Frenchman tracked throughout the 2020/21 season as he forged a creative ꧋campaign in Ligue 1.
Perraud offered seven assists and three goals in , having created more in the division. He also matched Pa♛ris Saint-Germain megastar Kylian Mbappe for assists.
But Perraud is not the only option that Leeds are assessing, as Galan is also now under consideration. The left-back is a potential alternative after his release clause was halved following Huesc﷽a’s relegation from La Liga.
That’s according to , who report his clause dropped from €8million (£7m) to €4m (£3.5m). Galan also has interest fr🔜om Sevilla and three Premier League sides but is yet to decide his future.
Sevilla have approached Galan’s agent to discuss his situation afte𝔍r the 26-year-old played a key and versatile role at Huesca. He started La Liga appearances this season at left-bac෴k or midfield, while contributing one goal and two assists.
Leeds Live note that Galan became renowned in Spain for his intensity, pressing and tackling ability. He also stood out as an eff𓃲ective ball-carrier, with only Lionel Messi (159) makin🧸g a higher number of successful dribbles (121) in La Liga this season, per .
TBR’s view: Galan a solid alternative for Leeds
While Galan did not offer the same creative output as Perraud, the Huesca star would be a𝔍 solid and well-rou🦩nded alternative for Leeds.
Both can push up the pitch and carry possession out from the back from the left-back position. Doing so at Elland Road would see either slot in well behind Jack Harrison as B🃏ielsa strives to build on a top-half Premier League season.
Galan would also be a bit of a bargain♎ at just £3.5m, which would allow Leeds’ Director of Football Victor Orta to focus more of his spending on adding depth to other key positions.
