Leeds United’s Sporting Director departure may impact Ilias Akhomach’s move to Spanish football.

Ilias Akhomach’s proposed move to Leeds United has reportedly fallen through following the departure of head coach Javi Gracia and Sporting Director Victor Orta. Akhomach, who will leave Barcelona at the end of the season when his contract expires, was believed to have secured a deal to join the Premier League side. However, with Orta gone, it seems that the teenager winger may be heading elsewhere.

Despite the failed move to Leeds, Orta may still have a chance to sign Akhomach this summer. Reports suggest that Sevilla are considering appointing Orta as their Sporting Director, a role currently held by Monchi. Sevilla were already interested in signing Akhomach, and if Orta gets the job, he could reignite his pursuit of the talented winger in the coming weeks.

AC Milan are also believed to be keen on signing Akhomach this summer, but with Orta waiting in the wings at Sevilla, the teenager could be in line to remain in Spanish football. Akhomach, who is highly rated at Barcelona, has been tipped to have a bright future in the game and could prove to be a valuable addition for any team that manages to secure his signature.
