Malian international Moussa Djenepo could be on the verge of a return to English football, with Leeds United reportedly showing keen interest in acquiring the versatile midfielder ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Following a season-long loan at Turkish outfit Antalyaspor, Djenepo’s future appears set for another turn.
The 26-year-old, who has made 26 appearances and scored twice this season, is not expected to extend his stay in Turkey.
With his parent club in Belgium prepared to weigh offers, the player may once again find himself at the centre of a competitive transfer race.
Leeds United, newly promoted to the Premier League, have reportedly identified Djenepo as a key piece in their plan to reinforce the squad for the challenges of top-flight survival.
The West Yorkshire club is said to be exploring the possibility of deploying him either in midfield or in a more defensive role at right-back. Discussions are believed to have already begun, though nothing formal has been concluded.
While the Yorkshire side may be in pole position, they are by no means alone in the chase.
Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers have also been linked with a potential move, viewing Djenepo as a valuable addition to their squad depth ahead of a renewed European campaign.
Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv are also reportedly monitoring the situation closely, considering him a strong fit for their attacking setup.
Despite a campaign marked by inconsistent form, Djenepo’s dynamism and experience continue to appeal to clubs across Europe.
Having previously played in the Premier League with Southampton, his familiarity with the English game could offer an advantage should a return to England materialise.
With the transfer window fast approaching, Djenepo’s future remains uncertain, but interest across multiple leagues ensures a busy summer ahead for the Malian winger.
As one source close to the negotiations noted, “Initial contacts have reportedly already taken place between the two sides,” hinting that a decision may not be far off.
Whether it’s Elland Road, Ibrox, or Bloomfield Stadium, Djenepo seems poised to begin a new chapter in his career—one that could very well take him back to one of Europe’s major leagues.
