# Leeds: Whites may reignite Nicolas Tagliafico interest

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) could look to reignite their interest in Ajax left-back Nicolas Tagliafico this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Left-back move

The Whites have been hard at work already in the transfer market, bringing in six new players at a cost of [£95m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/transfers/verein/399).

Victor Orta and Jesse Marsch aren’t planning on stopping there, though, with a [new forward](https://mobile.twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1545145078271942657), a [left-back and an experienced goalkeeper](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10952645/Leeds-United-launch-audacious-26m-bid-Belgiums-Charles-Ketelaere.html) on the agenda.

A new left-back could be even higher up on Orta’s wish list following an injury to [Junior Firpo](https://twitter.com/apopey/status/1547107608703733766), and Tagliafico – who was [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/leeds-whites-interested-in-nicolas-tagliafico/) with a move to Elland Road last year – has come back up in conversation.

### The Latest: Tagliafico claim

[Leeds Live](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/four-leeds-united-left-back-24482905) journalist Kyle Newbould looked at four left-back options that the Whites could target following Firpo’s latest injury. One of those was Tagliafico, who he claimed is still looking to leave Ajax in what could be a potential ‘bargain’.

The report states that the defender ‘could be signed for just £4-5million – although the left-back has plenty of suitors including Chelsea, Brighton and Barcelona’.

### The Verdict: Yes please

Tagliafico, who Kevin Campbell dubbed a “[top-quality player](https://www.footballinsider247.com/kevin-campbell-tagliafico-leeds-united/)”, is a [40-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-tagliafico/nationalmannschaft/spieler/131225/verein_id/3437) Argentina international who has plenty of [experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-tagliafico/leistungsdaten/spieler/131225) at the highest level for club and country.

The 29-year-old is into the final 12 months of his Ajax [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-tagliafico/profil/spieler/131225) and can also play as a [centre-back or left midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-tagliafico/leistungsdaten/spieler/131225) if required.

Marsch [appears to want](https://totalfootballanalysis.com/head-coach-analysis/jesse-marsch-at-leeds-united-2021-22-tactical-analysis-and-tactics) his full-backs to chip in going forward, and with Tagliafico having [48](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nicolas-tagliafico/leistungsdaten/spieler/131225) club goal contributions to his name, a move for him could be a brilliant piece of business by Leeds.
