Rodrigo de Paul - Udinese Want £40m

[...Dan 658]

Would be a brilliant signing.

Not going to lie, I know absolutely nothing about him nor have I seen him play. All I do know is we were after another attacking midfielder/winger and Ryan Kent was seemingly the man we made enquiries about.

I saw the above source on Twitter followed by Leeds fans losing their shit at the possibility of him signing but to be frank, I take Twitter reactions with a pinch of salt.

I would assume at that price he carry's genuine quality although it always makes me wonder in Serie A why he would be at Udinese if he was really good, and not an Inter or Juve.

Didn’t they just sign a Rodrigo? This shouldn’t be allowed on the grounds that it’s too confusing.

[Stan 11,725]

What other Rodrigo's are available?

One of the few players who perform well on the NT too. 

Would be a great signing for Leeds. 

[The Palace Fan 2,077]

Surprised he didn't get Pozzo'd to Watford over the last three seasons. Looks to be a very good signing for Leeds.

“Rodrigo to Rodrigo, who makes a run into the box, he’s played in brilliantly by Rodrigo. He cuts back, looks up, and he perfectly squares it to.....Bamford.....It’s an open goal.......he misses” 

[Carnivore Chris 2,033]

Both Rodrigo's played for Valencia at the same time at one point, but Rodrigo de Paul didn't seem to get as much playing time, before going to Italy. Not sure how well he did in Italy but he looked talented as a young player and seems to get call ups to the Argentine national team since playing in Italy.

Rodrigo de Paul sounds like a name some English bloke called Paul gave himself on Football Manager when starting as Benfica.

[Stan 11,725]

Could be us instead...? 

 

[Dan 1,433]

Do we really need another player in his position? I wouldn't mind but that's categorically providing we sort the more pressing positions out, such as centre back, striker and winger.

[Lucas 2,432]

If Leicester are in for him, it probably puts us out of pole position as they have the trump card of Europe.

That said, for an Argentine to get to work with Bielsa could still be a huge pull.

'Blew my mind' - Leeds United fans in meltdown over latest Rodrigo De Paul update

The Udinese star has deleted his entire Twitter account

Another day, another bizarre twist in Leeds United's remarkable summer transfer window.

You'd have thought breaking their record transfer fee to buy Rodrigo and landing promising defender Robin Koch would provide enough talking points for the Whites during this window.

Yet the hype around Udinese star Rodrigo De Paul has gone into overdrive following a remarkable turn of events on Monday evening.

The attacking midfielder appeared to confirm he was keen on a move to Leeds before deleting his entire Twitter account.

Needless to say, it was a move that gained a lot of attention - here's how some Whites fans reacted on social media.(LeedsLive)

Udinese Demand £40m for Leeds United Target Rodrigo De Paul

Udinese have told Leeds United that they will only accept an offer of £40m for midfield star Rodrigo De Paul.

The Whites are keen to bolster their midfield options this summer, having been linked with the likes of Rangers' Ryan Kent and West Ham playmaker Manuel Lanzini. Marcelo Bielsa's side have since been tipped to sign Argentine De Paul, but his current club is reluctant to lose their talisman.
