Background
Mykhailo Modric, 25, was a prime target for Chelsea, who invested a large sum in him in January 2023. Leeds United see Modric as a unique opportunity to sign a player with high potential, especially in light of the financial challenges the club faces.
Why is this important?
Leeds United is seeking to strengthen its ranks by including Mykhailo Modric, who is considered one of the talented players in the English Premier League. Modric has high technical skills and the ability to influence matches, which makes him a valuable addition to the Leeds team that seeks to remain in the English Premier League.
Key points
- Leeds continues its quest to sign Mykhailo Modric on loan.
- Leeds United are seeking to sign a loan agreement with Mykhailo Modric from Chelsea, but negotiations face challenges, as Chelsea prefer to send him to Strasbourg.
- Leeds still want Mykhailo Mudryk on loan from Chelsea. But key questions remain - The Athletic.
Why are Leeds interested in Modric? Modric, 25, is a striker who Chelsea were prepared to pay £62m (possibly as much as £89m) in January 2023. With transfer prices on the rise, Leeds see this as a great opportunity to sign a player who would normally be beyond their financial means. Leeds know that Modric has high potential, as he has excellent technical skills and a strong physical presence, which they hope to exploit in their team.
Although Leeds made a bid, it was rejected, but they are still pursuing the player. However, news suggests that the longer they wait, the more confidence begins to decline. Leeds have clearly stated that they will not accept to be held hostage in this deal. At the same time, the club feels Modric is keen on a move to West Yorkshire, but Chelsea appear more inclined to send him to Strasbourg, their sister club in France.
If there is a deal, there will be a financial cost to cover part of Modric's salary, but Leeds see the risks as limited in acquiring a player without any permanent commitments. The club know that Modric is a right-footed striker who plays on the left wing, which is the type of player they will be looking to acquire this summer.

What about Chelsea's position? Chelsea sources confirm that Leeds have been ruled out as an option for Modric after their bid was rejected. There are other clubs in the English Premier League and other European leagues that have shown interest in signing him permanently or on loan. As for the loan, Chelsea's main goal is to find the right place for Modric to play high-level football after a long period of absence from the game.
What is Modric's desire? Modric appears to prefer staying in the Premier League, with Leeds considered a good option for him. His agent feels very confident that they will not enter into a struggle to stay in the league this season, and that the team’s fast playing style will give him the opportunity to exploit his speed and attacking ability well.
If he moves to Leeds, Modric will compete for playing time in a number 10 position behind the striker in a 3-4-2-1 formation. While Modric is known for playing as a winger, he is expected to be asked to play in a more central role.
Would Modric be a good signing for Leeds? If the loan price is not high, Leeds should consider him a lower-cost opportunity compared to many of the permanent signings they could make this summer. There is no doubt that Modric is eager to prove himself in the Premier League and will do everything in his power to achieve success during his loan spell.
What's next?
While negotiations continue, it appears that Chelsea would prefer to send Modric to Strasbourg, further complicating matters for Leeds. If an agreement is not reached soon, Leeds may be forced to look for alternative options to bolster their attacking line before the transfer window ends.
