Leeds United and Fulham are ‘clearly interested’ in a Bundesliga right-back who is being chased by a French side this summer.
Daniel Farke is looking to strengthen his Leeds side right across the pitch this season and he has had his eye on his native Germany, where he feels there are bargains to be had.
Fulham are also in the market to back Marco Silva and continue their progression under the Portuguese tactician.
Those desires have led both clubs to the door of Bundesliga side Mainz.
According to French outlet Foot Mercato, both Leeds and Fulham ‘are clearly interested’ in signing Mainz’s right-sided player Anthony Caci.
That will put them on a collision course with French top flight outfit Rennes.
Rennes have discussed the Mainz man internally and believe he is the perfect fit for what they want, despite knowing it will be a tough deal to do.
It is suggested that his valuation, of around €10m, is within reach for Rennes, but it is the competition which makes the transfer difficult.
