Leeds United bought Illan Meslier on loan from FC Lorient last summer. Earlier reports coming out of France suggested the goalkeeper will not return to his parent club after his temporary spell.
According to Foot Mercato, Marcelo Bielsa’s side have an ‘automatic purchase option’. With the English side already confirming their berth in next season’s top flight club competition in England, the report states the 20-year-old’s stay at Elland Road will be made permanent.
