Leeds United have Royal Charleroi’s Yacine Titraoui on their radar for the summer, as Africa Foot cover the player’s situation. Sunderland have also carried interest over recent months.
The Algerian moved to Europe when the Jupiler Pro League side signed him from Paradou AC in July 2024.
He’s been a regular for Royal Charleroi, and his displays have attracted interest from Belgium, England and elsewhere. Leeds United are the interested party from England.
The midfielder could take the next big step of his career after this season. The Premier League appears to be his ‘most likely’ destination, where Daniel Farke’s side are keen.
Titraoui has recently changed agents. Africa Foot, without confirming the details, insist the new representatives ‘specialise in transfers to the Premier League’. This is seen as a ‘strategic choice that clearly reflects his ambitions for the rest of his career’.
The Whites have ‘strong interest’ and have expressed their desire to bring him to Elland Road. The Algerian’s performances and profile have pleased Farke’s side.
Leeds United could face Sunderland competition
Sunderland had tried to sign him last summer, although it’s unclear whether the Black Cats are still keen.
Royal Charleroi reportedly invested €1.2m to buy the player and have agreed a 25% sell-on clause. They want to make a profit on that.
Royal Charleroi have already rejected several offers, which didn’t give them enough of a return. Their strategy is to wait for an offer that suits both them and the player.
Leeds United could be that club in the summer, however the exact amount needed isn’t clear. His contract lasts until 2027, with an option for another year. Transfermarkt currently value him at €5m, but Royal Charleroi will demand more than that.
