British media: Leeds United plans to sell Meslier in the winter window, Inter Milan is currently leading the competition for players

According to British media Teamtalk, Leeds United plans to sell French goalkeeper Meslier in the January transfer window, and Inter Milan is currently leading the players' battle.

Meslier's contract expires in the summer of 2026, and Leeds United hopes to earn a fee by selling him before his contract expires. He has played for the team more than 200 times and was once an important pillar of the team's Premier League program. Sources revealed that the club is willing to accept a lower transfer fee that may only cover the remaining contract term to avoid losing him for free next summer. In addition, his departure can also free up a 25-man Premier League roster for the team.

Inter Milan currently leads Meslier's battle for the match, and the Serie A giants regard him as a long-term replacement for Sommer. According to reports, Inter Milan believes this is a good opportunity to sign a good goalkeeper at a low price, taking advantage of Meslier's decline in the team's position and contract status. Although Meslier's skills under his feet have declined recently, they are still in line with Inter Milan's tactical needs, making him an ideal candidate to pursue domestic and European honors.

Meslier's youth training club Lorient also showed great interest in him, who had made offers in August and were eager to bring him back to the club. Despite Lorient's determination, Meslier's high salary could be a barrier.

Valencia is also following Meslier and keeps in touch with his representatives. La Liga teams are more inclined to sign a pre-contract in 2026 to sign him for free, but if the conditions are right, it is not ruled out to take action in the January transfer window.

Meanwhile, the wanderers are also interested in Meslier, but sources say their interest is not strong and other targets are prioritized. In addition, Florence and Rennes also appreciate Meslier's experience, while Serie A newcomer Cuomo, as well as Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, also regarded him as potential signing targets. However, Trabzon Sports has withdrawn from the competition and they are satisfied with Manchester United's loan on Onana.

Meslier desperately wants to get a first-team game opportunity to revive his career, and leaving in January seems likely to be very likely. Leeds United believes that selling him is a pragmatic move, as his contract is not much time left and would rather sell him in the January window than let him leave the team freely next summer. As the January transfer window approaches and negotiations heat up, Meslier's next destination may reshape his career as one of Europe's brightest goalkeepers.
