The latest Leeds United transfer news rumours suggest that the Whites have contacted Liverpool regarding a proposed move for talented youngster Harry Wilson.
The Welsh international spent last season out on loan at AFC Bournemouth but could be set to leave the club this summer with no assurances on playing time at Anfield.
Liverpool have made their position on Wilson very clear indeed. The Reds will not be loaning Wilson out so he will either stay at the club or leave on a permanent transfer.
According to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool have valued the Wales star at £20 million and it is now up to Marcelo Bielsa to weigh up whether the Reds winger is fairly priced.
Wilson scored seven goals in 31 Premier League matches for Bournemouth last season and proved that he is capable of holding his own in England’s top flight.
The Welshman may struggle to hold down a regular spot in Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up this campaign though as Liverpool look to defend their Premier League crown.
At 23 years old, Wilson’s best years are still ahead of him and Leeds may decide that £20 million is an investment worth making if he can help the Whites avoid relegation.
Rangers Unlikely To Sell Borna Barisic
According to reports in Croatia, Rangers rejected an £8 million approach for Borna Barisic from Leeds United earlier this summer.
Marcelo Bielsa offered an estimated £8 million in an attempt to lure the Croatian star away from Ibrox but Rangers rejected that offer almost immediately.
Barisic has been linked with Napoli and Roma in recent times and Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has heaped praise on the 27-year-old.

“We’re not surprised if there is any interest in Borna,” he said.
“He has signed a long-term deal here, everyone loves him, the fans like him and he was in the running for Player of the Year.
“If someone did come, they would have to bring an awful lot of money with them.”
Leeds have recently turned their attention towards Dinamo Zagreb defender Josko Gvardiol instead so a move for Barisic now looks very unlikely indeed.
Leeds To Hijack Move For Udinese’s De Paul?
Juventus have been linked with a move for the Udinese star but reports in Italy claim that Leeds are looking to rival the Serie A giants for his signature.
While De Paul himself would prefer a move to Juventus instead of Leeds, the Whites will be quietly confident of forcing a deal through to land the 26-year-old.
A creative playmaker, De Paul would bring Serie A experience to Elland Road and he could give Leeds a major boost in Premier League Odds odds ahead of 2020/21.
