Sources: Leeds to Accept 'Big' Wilfried Gnonto Offer

Leeds United are prepared to let Wilfried Gnonto depart this summer if a substantial offer arrives, according to sources cited by Football Insider.[2] The 22-year-old Italian winger, currently under contract until June 2028, has struggled for consistent playing time under manager Daniel Farke during the 2025/2026 Premier League season.[1][4][6]

Gnonto has featured in just 13 Premier League appearances, registering two assists but no goals, and has played only nine minutes since late January, mostly as a late substitute.[1][6] His limited role—starting just one of Leeds' last 14 games—has fueled speculation about his future, especially after Leeds' promotion back to the top flight via the 2024-25 Championship title, where he notched nine goals and six assists.[5][6]

Recent transfer rumors link Gnonto to Wolverhampton Wanderers as part of a player-plus-cash deal for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, valued at £40 million. The proposal reportedly includes Gnonto, teammate Joel Piroe, and a £5 million fee, positioning the move as a potential next step given his lack of opportunities at Elland Road.[1] His market value stands at €20 million per Transfermarkt, with 17 Italy U21 caps and five goals.[1]

Challenges persist: at 5ft 5in, Gnonto doesn't perfectly fit Farke's 'big and horrible' tactical style, though his versatility—effective wide, centrally, or as a second striker—makes him a creative asset.[3][6] An upcoming match against Birmingham could clarify his immediate role, but poor form might accelerate a summer exit.[6] Other interest, like from Fiorentina for a January loan, highlights his demand amid Leeds' squad decisions, including Jack Harrison's potential departure.[7][8]

Leeds' priority is Premier League survival; success without Gnonto could prompt his sale to capitalize on his value, benefiting both club and player seeking regular minutes.[2][6]
