Leeds United have been linked with a move for Harry Wilson throughout the ongoing summer transfer window and despite Liverpool apparently being open to selling the young midfielder, Marcelo Bielsa has now suffered another blow in the chase.

According to the latest report from The Sun (via Leeds Live), Jurgen Klopp wants to get around £20m for his player if they are to part ways with the 23-year-old talent.

Of course, Wilson himself is a Red but has also spent loan spells at both Bournemouth and Derby County in the past couple of seasons, impressing at both stints to warrant interest from the Whites and a hefty price tag from the Merseyside outfit.

Still, despite their triumphant return to the Premier League, £20m might be a bit too much for Bielsa and could indeed put the off the transfer chase as a whole.

Liverpool would still be open to cashing in on the 23-year-old and if no further bids are tabled, they could even lower their asking price as well.

This, needless to say, would be a great opening for Bielsa to land his man and reinforce the squad after successfully conquering the Championship in 2019/20.

Now, however, he will need a squad that's more competitive than ever if they are to survive their stay in the English top-flight.

Verdict

Despite Wilson's obvious qualities and talent, £20m does sound like too big of a sum for Leeds at the moment. Of course, nowadays, it's quite difficult to secure great reinforcements for a small fee but the current climate also won't allow for big spendings.

Both Liverpool and Leeds have to keep this in mind when venturing into any kind of business this summer. If the Reds really want to sell the 23-year-old, they will have to reduce the price tag and make the player a bit more attainable.
