According to a joint exclusive report by The Athletic UK Leeds United reporter Phil Hay and American football reporter Sam Stejskal, Leeds United offered the US international, Salzburg Red Bull all-rounder Brandon Aronson for 15 million pounds, but was rejected by Red Bull Salzburg.
However, despite the rejection of Leeds United's first offer, they are still interested in signing the all-rounder. The 21-year-old Isronson has made 26 appearances for Salzburg this season, scoring three goals and seven assists, while he has contributed 10 goals and 12 assists since joining Salzburg from MLB Philadelphia last January.
In addition to Leeds United, Leipzig and AC Milan have also had rumors with Aronson.
Sources confirm that if Leeds United can successfully bring in Aronson in the winter window, he will definitely appear in the core attacking midfield position. In addition, the deal would be complicated as Aronson was so important to Salzburg to reach the Champions League knockout stages.
But Leeds United's attitude is also clear, insisting they want to close the deal in January.
For the Philadelphia United, they have a 10-20 percent two-spindle, the exact amount of which will depend on Aronson's sale price.
