According to [*El Nacional*](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/el-leeds-de-marcelo-bielsa-se-l-vol-emportar-del-barca-al-gener-i-la-venda-depen-de-xavi-hern_691841_102.html), Leeds are keen on the idea of snapping up Jutgla in the [January transfer window](https://www.givemesport.com/1754870-january-transfer-window-2022-when-does-it-open-when-does-it-close-and-which-players-are-going-to-move), with the Whites willing to pay £8.3million for his services.

### The Verdict: One for the future

Jutgla looks a hugely exciting prospect, so Leeds’ reported interest is certainly eye-catching, as Marcelo Bielsa’s eyes up January reinforcements with a little help fro Victor Orta’s keen eye for Spanish talent.

Granted, the Whites aren’t short on wide options currently but the Barca man could be a long-term prospect on the right-hand side, especially if Raphinha moves on in the future for a massive fee – what a coup it would be to already have an up and coming replacement waiting in the wings.

The fact that Jutlga is already shining for a club of Barca’s stature, despite their current struggles, highlights why he is someone Leeds should look to sign.
