Senegalese star Boulaye Dia, who has been linked to Leeds United, will not be sold by his future permanent club Salernitana.
The 26-year-old is currently on loan at the Serie A club after a poor season last year with Villarreal, where he scored just 7 goals in 35 appearances.
The first priority for the Whites as they prepare to start their transfer activity in January is a new striker.
Salernitana president Danilo Iervolino is unwilling to sell the 26-year-old next month, Salerno’s La Cronache reported.
Rodrigo’s nine goals this season indicate that Leeds may not need a new addition, but having someone who can complement Patrick Bamford’s creativity and goalscoring ability would be a huge asset for the Yorkshire club.
