Leeds chasing deal for Flamengo attacker Pedro

Leeds United are chasing a deal for Flamengo attacker Pedro.

Leeds-Live says the Whites have done their due diligence on the 25-year-old, who is currently at the World Cup with his country, according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs.

Pedro signed a five-year deal with Flamengo back in 2020 and also has a reported release clause of £87million, but it's unlikely Leeds would pay anywhere near that fee.

The move could be seen as somewhat of a gamble, given the Brazilian's struggles in Europe with Fiorentina.

The fact his contract expires in 2025 means Leeds would have to part with a substantial fee however.
