Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has reportedly held talks with Fenerbahce ahead of a possible summer move.

The Lowdown: Possible Bielsa successors named

Bielsa and Leeds are used to dealing with 12-month contracts at Elland Road, and now is the time of year where his future is being spoken about in the media.

Recent reports have name-checked Ernesto Valverde, Jesse Marsch and Carlos Corberan as possible successors to the Argentine, who has had to deal with numerous injury issues in his Leeds squad this season.

The Whites have struggled to replicate their first season back in the Premier League and are now flirting with the relegation zone with 15 games remaining, and shock reports have emerged ahead of their clash with Manchester United on Sunday.

The Latest: Meeting held

According to both Sabah and Fotomac, relayed by Sports Witness, Bielsa has held a meeting with Fenerbahce president Ali Koc.

The Leeds boss is thought to be on a list of candidates to take over in Turkey in the summer alongside Joachim Low, Jorge Jesus and Roger Schmidt.

The Verdict: Unlikely

As Phil Hay mentions, Bielsa is unlikely to show his hand in regards to his future until the Premier League is over, so these reports of a meeting with another club are hard to believe.

His time in Yorkshire may well be coming to an end this year, but until that is decided by all involved, it’s crazy to think he will be lining up his next move.

Hopefully, Bielsa will be able to get key players back over the coming weeks and drag the club clear of the relegation zone, cementing his legacy as a Leeds legend in the process.
