Transfer market: Moussa Djenepo set for a return to England

After a mixed season in Turkey with Antalyaspor, Moussa Djenepo is reportedly considering a return to England. Despite putting in respectable performances, the Malian winger’s experience in Turkey was marred by unpaid wages. These financial issues have dampened his enthusiasm for continuing his adventure in the Süper Lig.

Meanwhile, Leeds United, recently promoted to the Premier League, are eager to strengthen their squad to ensure survival in the top flight. According to several sources, the English club have set their sights on Moussa Djenepo. Leeds United have shown strong interest in the 26-year-old and are reportedly ready to activate his release clause, estimated at 2 million euros. Talks between both parties are ongoing, and the Malian Eagle appears open to a return to English football.

It’s worth noting that Moussa Djenepo already has Premier League experience from his time at Southampton, where he showcased his pace and technical ability. This season, despite a challenging context, he scored two goals and provided one assist in 22 matches in Turkey. Leeds are counting on his versatility, as he can also slot in at left-back, giving the team several tactical options.

Leeds United are not the only club interested in Moussa Djenepo. Maccabi Tel Aviv and Glasgow Rangers are also reportedly among the suitors.
