Nadiem Amiri rejects Leeds United

Leeds United are doing everything they can to get back to the Premier League after a disastrous season last time out.

As a result of their relegation, the Whites have lost quite a few of their key players, and Daniel Farke is desperate for reinforcements.

a few people yesterday by claiming that Leeds have sent a ‘formal offer’ to Leverkusen to sign Nadiem Amiri.

The journalist claimed a four-year contract has been offered to the midfielder.

Now, however, Plettenberg has revealed that Amiri has turned down the opportunity to move to Elland Road. Instead, he wants to join Marseille in France.

TBR View:

Amiri is a really talented player, and Leeds were right to go after him.

The midfielder, who has five senior caps for Germany, is an ‘excellent’ passer and is a set-piece specialist as well. He’s great in combination play and is someone who always demands the ball ().

Amiri would’ve added a lot of quality at Leeds United, but the Whites now have to look elsewhere.

It will be interesting to see who Farke will turn to now.
