But if he decides that Amad still needs more experience, it could mean another loan move is in store for a player who joined Manchester United in January 2021 from Italian side Atalanta in a deal worth up to £35m.
So what could Leeds expect from Amad if he arrives at Elland Road? ChronicleLive's Sunderland AFC writer James Hunter gives us the lowdown.
