Leeds United will reportedly have to decide next week whether they are prepared to meet Cagliari's asking price for midfielder Nahitan Nandez.
The 25-year-old, who represented Uruguay at this summer's Copa America, is thought to be a leading target for the Whites ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.
Nandez is now on holiday following his country's elimination to Colombia, but it is understood that Cagliari are keen to invest in a new midfielder this summer and want to know whether Nandez will be leaving.
According to La Nuova Sardegna, next week 'will be decisive', with Leeds needing to make a call on whether they are prepared to pay his Serie A side's asking price.
Nandez is thought to have a €36m (£30.1m) release clause in his contract, which has three years left to run, and Cagliari are believed to be asking for the full buy-out figure, potentially in instalments.
The South American, who recently addressed the speculation surrounding a potential move to Elland Road, scored twice and registered three assists in 34 appearances at club level last term.
