# Leeds: Whites readying Gonzalo Plata offer

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) are reportedly readying an offer for Sporting CP attacker Gonzalo Plata.**

### The Lowdown: Plata profiled

The Whites have been name-checked with an [interest](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-transfer-news-whites-eye-gonzalo-plata-jesse-marsch-victor-orta/) in the 21-year-old this month as the club look to bolster their attacking ranks.

Primarily a right-winger, Plata can also play on the left and is valued at £4.5m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gonzalo-plata/profil/spieler/592735).

The Ecuador international spent last season on loan at Spanish side Real Valladolid, where he scored [six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gonzalo-plata/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/592735) times and registered [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gonzalo-plata/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/592735) assists, and that form appears to have caught the eye of Leeds chiefs.

### The Latest: Transfer update

According to an outlet local to his temporary home, Diario de Valladolid (via [Pucela Fichajes),](https://pucelafichajes.com/2022/06/el-leeds-podria-ofrecer-2-millones-de-salario-a-gonzalo-plata/) Leeds are now preparing an offer close to €10m (£8.7m) for Plata.

The report adds that the Whites are also willing to offer the forward a salary in the region of €2m-a-year, which would work out at just over £33,000-a-week.

This comes despite [news](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-united-gonzalo-plata-transfer-blow/) earlier this week that the player had suffered a serious injury while on international duty.

### The Verdict: Not waiting around

The Whites appear to be [closing in](https://twitter.com/plettigoal/status/1536767941559066631?s=21&t=xqFX9rP-EvUPnBOuLFofvg) on Bayern Munich midfielder Marc Roca, who is set to undergo a medical later this week.

It now looks as if Victor Orta is already working on a fourth transfer, with Andrea Radrizzani and the 49ers Enterprises willing to write another multi-million cheque.

Plata has been described as a player with a [‘huge amount of talent’](https://twitter.com/stighefootball/status/1137374795933372419), so it’ll be interesting to see how this unfolds, especially with [Jack Harrison](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/05/24/newcastle-keen-sign-jack-harrison-despite-leeds-premier-league/) and [Raphinha](https://metro.co.uk/2022/06/11/leeds-set-price-arsenal-man-utd-chelsea-barcelona-raphinha-transfer-16810447/) linked with Elland Road exits.
