Nadiem Amiri reconsiders joining Leeds United in the latest twist in the ‘extraordinary transfer narrative- ‘ following Ipswich Town’s victory.

According to Kicker, Nadiem Amiri “appears to have changed his mind again” and may be ready to join Leeds United after all.

On their website Monday (28 August), the German tabloid said that the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder can now “imagine” a move to Elland Road after the Whites beat Ipswich 4-3 on Saturday to show signs of life in their season.

The midfielder “cancelled” the move on Friday (25 August) after the entire deal had been negotiated between the two clubs and the player, having “repeatedly wavered” because he didn’t want to move his heavily pregnant wife and was concerned about being stuck in the Championship for more than a year following Leeds’ poor start to the season.

But, following his first win of the season at Portman Road, the 26-year-old is reconsidering his decision, in what Kicker describes as a “extraordinary transfer story,” with the Leeds move considered as a “sporting and financial opportunity.”

If he decides to go forward with the transition, it should now “go ahead quickly” with a cost of roughly €6 million [£5.15 million] including bonuses already set and a four-year term ready to go.

Incredible

What a difference a win makes, not only around Elland Road, but also in how the club is perceived outside.

The new-look attacking line-up with big-money striker recruit Joel Piroe, club-record forward Georginio Rutter, and previously wanted-again wingers Willy Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra on either side was fearsome against Ipswich.

All four scored to give Daniel Farke‘s promotion bid new life, just days after the German was forced to name insufficient substitute benches.

there appear to have resurrected the Amiri deal ahead of the deadline, and he might potentially be added to the Leeds United XI behind their explosive front line.

It remains to be seen whether Farke will still be willing to sign the German international given that he has previously suggested that he may not be fully committed.

The Whites manager has had enough of that with his present group, and when Amiri was put on the bench for Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend and may have been convinced by one result in England, there may now be questions on the buyer’s side.

Predicting what will happen next, after Amiri was close to signing for Marseille prior to Leeds‘ involvement, appears impossible, but a deal that appeared dead suddenly appears to be alive again.
