In recent comments, the agent of Illan Meslier, Xavier Fleury, discussed potential interest in the Leeds United goalkeeper, as well as hinting at the shot-stopper's future exit from Elland Road.
Since arriving at Leeds on what was originally a season-long loan deal in the summer of 2019 - with the club making Meslier's signing permanent in a £5.85 million deal last summer - the 21-year-old has so far gone on to feature 36 times for the Whites, conceding 48 goals and keeping 15 clean sheets along the way.
So far this season, despite his tender age, the £10.8 million-rated Frenchman has highly impressed over his 25 Premier League appearances for Marcelo Bielsa's side, making an average of four saves and per game, as well as averaging a SofaScore match rating of 7.04 - ranking him as the club's sixth-best performer in the top flight.
And, speaking recently on the LUFC Fan Zone podcast, as cited by Leeds Live, Fleury claimed that a number of big clubs could be interested in signing the France U21 international, as well opening the door to the 'keepers potential exit from the club.
He said: "When you are so young, the youngest starting goalkeeper in Europe, for sure, big clubs could be interested, following him. Illan is starting at Leeds. He loves the club. Perhaps in one, two seasons, if you have a club like Real Madrid that knock on the door, who knows?"
Transfer Tavern Take
With Leeds not exactly having great strength in depth in the goalkeeper department - Kiko Casilla being Bielsa's back up shot-stopper, with the club losing all three games the 34-year-old has featured in this season - keeping Meslier at the club is likely to be a priority for the Whites this summer.
However, with Fleury claiming that the 21-year-old is currently loving life at Elland Road, it would appear as if the Frenchman is in no rush to leave any time soon, which is likely to be very pleasing news for both Bielsa as well as fans of the club.
