This summer transfer window we will see Everton and Leeds United trying to acquire Norwich City player Jonathan Rowe based as per the reports of Jeunes Footeux. The 21-year-old signed last summer for Marseille through a contract containing a mandatory purchase option stated at €15 million. There is uncertainty regarding his future at Marseille because the two Premier League teams Everton and Leeds have started negotiations to acquire him. A Premier League deal for the player at Marseille remains uncertain because his extended Marseille stay has yet to be finalised which creates a potential competition for his signing between the Premier League’s Everton and Leeds United.
Rowe’s Struggles For Game Time And Marseille’s Financial Dilemma
Jonathan Rowe has received limited match time at Marseille since he signed for the team two years ago. His 22 appearances account for 559 minutes on the field during which he earned two goals and three assists. His playing time has dramatically decreased during the previous two months because he has spent a maximum of 33 minutes in his last three games. The financial troubles at Marseille might force the club to sell players before they can make new acquisitions regardless of earning Champions League entry. The reports indicate Norwich City’s obligation to purchase Rowe so he could become available during the following transfer window.
Everton and Leeds United Poised For Transfer Battle Over Rowe
Everton and Leeds United maintain observation of Rowe’s status because they feel there exists a possibility to acquire him. Both Everton and Leeds United are actively pursuing Rowe because the Toffees approach PL safety while Leeds drive toward promotion pushing them to find new attacking talents. Daniel Farke’s team together with Everton will compete for Rowe’s signature because Marseille might need to sell the 21-year-old player. All signs indicate the Ligue 1 club will put Rowe up for sale resulting in an inevitable transfer competition between these English football teams.
