Leeds United are closing in on completing an £18 million move for Michael Cuisance, but the Daily Mail reports that Bayern Munich have managed to agree a buy-back clause as part of the deal.

Cuisance looks set to become the latest signing added to Marcelo Bielsa’s ranks. The likes of Robin Koch, Rodrigo Moreno and Diego Llorente have already arrived, while the Whites have also signed a cluster of exciting young players.

The Daily Mail reports that the 21-year-old is set to undergo a medical on Wednesday. And the Frenchman is ready to sign a five-year contract at Elland Road.

However, it would appear that there is a chance that he could be back at Bayern before those terms end.

That is because the Daily Mail is also reporting that Bayern have agreed a buy-back clause with Leeds.

It is not disclosed what the fee would need to be, but you would imagine that the Whites would be looking to make a significant profit if they are going to lose the youngster further down the line.

TBR View: Buy-back clause further highlights Leeds coup

Of course, agreeing a clause that opens the door for Bayern to re-sign Cuisance may not be ideal. But it arguably further highlights just what a coup Leeds may be on the cusp of.

The Champions League holders clearly rate the youngster incredibly highly. And that should certainly excite Leeds fans as a deal edges closer.

It is also another reminder of Leeds’s progress under Bielsa. They are now signing players obviously on the radar – or books, in this case – of some of the biggest clubs in the world.
