Leeds winger Wilfried Gnonto is being linked with a move to Freiburg, with the Bundesliga club credited with a 42% chance of landing the 22-year-old.
The right-sided forward, valued at €18.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of growing speculation over a summer switch from Elland Road to the German top flight. Data around the deal suggests Freiburg are monitoring Gnonto’s situation closely, with his contract details at Leeds not publicly specified and no expiry date listed – a factor that could strengthen their hand if talks advance or if he edges towards free-agent status in future windows.
Gnonto, who wears the number 29 shirt for Leeds, is primarily deployed as a right winger but can operate across the front line. Born on 5 November 2003 in Verbania, the 1.70m attacker holds dual nationality with Italy and Côte d’Ivoire, giving him an intriguing international profile for any prospective buyer.
The move, if it materialises, would take Gnonto from the Premier League environment into the Bundesliga, where Freiburg have built a reputation for developing young, high-energy forwards. His right-footed ability to cut inside from wide areas and press from the front is viewed as well suited to the German side’s tactical approach.
Leeds could face a decision over whether to cash in on a player whose market value remains significant at €18.00m, amid the ever-present risk of losing leverage if his contractual situation moves closer to a free-agent outcome.
With the probability of the transfer currently rated at 42%, the situation remains finely poised, but a move to Freiburg would offer Gnonto a fresh platform in one of Europe’s major leagues and could prove a pivotal step in shaping his long-term career trajectory and reputation at the top level.
