“Leeds United are considering a draft of a contract sent by ex Argentina & Chile boss Marcelo Bielsa who is in talks to become the #lufc new head coach,” BBC Leeds’ Adam Pope confirmed on Twitter.
“The draft was sent in the early hours of this morning.
“Bielsa’s camp say ‘the ball is in Leeds United’s court.’”
Leeds are likely to have to agree to not only a hefty pay packet for Bielsa, but also his calls over transfers.
