Lots of Leeds United fans have flocked to a comment about Marcelo Bielsa that emerged on social media.
Italian agent Massimo Grillo was recently talking to Per Sempre Napoli and he talked about the idea of Bielsa managing at Napoli in the future. The agent made it clear that he’s a huge admirer of Bielsa and he professes a playing style which is captivating.
Can Bielsa leave in the summer?
Yes
No
He believes that the Argentine could be the perfect replacement for Rino Gattuso at the Partenopei, amidst doubts about the Italian’s future at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. He has also been linked with a move to Fiorentina.

Bielsa’s current contract at Leeds runs out at the end of the campaign, having been in the job since the summer of 2018. During his time at Leeds, Bielsa has helped the club rack up a points per match tally of 1.73 so far (as per Transfermarkt).
He had joined Lazio in the past, but that stint controversially ended after just a couple of days. Bielsa is said to have a fair share of admirers in Italy.

These Leeds fans are angry about this news and they don’t believe that Bielsa will leave their club anytime soon.
While the Argentine’s contract is running out and he has denied that he is about to sign a two-year deal at the club, the former Lille boss usually signs contracts on a one-year basis. And there are indications that he’ll do the same once again. So perhaps, Leeds fans shouldn’t worry about his potential departure anytime soon.
