Tons of Leeds United supporters have flocked to a recent tweet from the ever-reliable Beren Cross this week.
The LeedsLive journalist has cooled reported interest in out-of-contract Middlesbrough centre-back Daniel Ayala, much to the delight of the Elland Road faithful.
Are Leeds making a mistake by not signing Daniel Ayala?
Yes, 100%!
Absolutely not!
It’s claimed at “no stage” has director of football Victor Orta pursued a potential reunion with his fellow countryman having both been at Boro together in recent seasons.
Marcelo Bielsa will no doubt be in the market for a new central defender this summer with loan star Ben White set to return to parent club Brighton and Gaetano Berardi likely to depart following the expiration of his contract.
Whites skipper Liam Cooper is under contract for next term as the only senior option in the role.
And despite the lack of choices, fans are absolutely thrilled with the news that they won’t be pursuing the 29-year-old.
Some believe he wouldn’t have fit the Argentine’s style of football whilst others claim he’s a “liability” who isn’t good enough for the Championship front-runners.
Here’s what has been said in reaction to the update…
Thank god for that ! He’s a liability..

Thank god for that. Jansson to White back to Ayala is not progress. Trust Victor has a plan to replace White, can see Man City buying him and loaning back to Leeds next season..

Possibly the most ridiculous rumour ever. No way Bielsa would want a CB who can’t trap a bag of wet cement.

Good. Not good enough for us and why would we want a player that refuses to play when being paid and under contract?
