It seemed as though a deal for Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Cuisance was pretty much done, but Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa would not be drawn into talking about the Frenchman until a deal was official.
This suggested that there was still a deal breaker separating Leeds from their man, and now Sky Sports report that a deal for the 21-year old is now off.
Leeds United are no longer pursuing Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Cuisance.

Sky Sports Transfer Centre reported on 01/10/20 that the £20m has been called-off with Cuisance in Leeds to finalise the move.
It had originally been reported that the deal for Cuisance had broken down due to issues related to the buy-back clause, but The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealed that the 21-year old failed his medical on Wednesday showing injury problems that made the deal impossible.
