Viduka is now ready to talk after spending time with his family at home in Australia. Valencia are amongst a host of clubs interested in the Aussie striker.
Dublin has been highlighted as one man Blackwell would like to attract to Elland Road and it is understood the former Manchester United and Aston Villa striker was discussed when the manager met managing director David Richmond for talks yesterday.
The Yorkshire Post understands that while Blackwell will not be handed an actual transfer budget, he will be able to spend in the region of £2m on new wages, enough to enable him to bring in some talented new players.
