Leeds United are weighing up numerous options this transfer window, as a plethora of deals could be on the table.
Two signings are already through the door, but the 49ers will be looking to capitalise on this momentum.
A player who has appeared as someone who could follow the first arrivals is Noah Sadiki, as Sadiki received an £8.5m bid from Leeds.
Whether Belgian side Union SG will accept the bid is another matter, but it’s expected that Sadiki leaves Belgium with Daniel Farke very keen.
This transfer could help fuel another deal, as Sadiki’s agent has another player on Leeds’ radar.
Leeds United to battle Sunderland for Mahdi Camara
It’s been made pretty clear that Farke will be strengthening his midfielder options this summer.
Sadiki is already one on the list, but now it’s come to light that 26-year-old Stade Brestois midfielder Mahdi Camara is on the 49ers’ radar.
Camara has been an integral part of the French side, helping them reach the Champions League for the 24/25 campaign, and has also been a key component this season.
The Frenchman could join with Sadiki or, as a replacement, if the Congo DR international doesn’t join.
Nevertheless, FootenFrance reports that Camara is certainly a target, but fellow newly-promoted side, Sunderland, are also keen on the box-to-box option.
It’s said that with the interest considered, a fee of £12.7m would be enough to secure Camara’s services this summer.
What Camara thinks of a move to the Premier League with Leeds keen
The Brest engine is clearly a solid player for a side that has massively overachieved in the last few years.
At 26, he’s in his prime and gives Leeds the perfect opportunity to seal a transfer which would no doubt be a bargain this window.
To add him into the fold for what is expected to be a midfield full of competition could be exactly what Farke needs to spur on other players within the squad.
Leeds are told they can sign Sadiki, who is a No.8 who offers a ball-winning presence and an excellent passing range.
Whereas Camara offers a more attacking outlet, which Farke could seize upon, and there is no reason why both can’t be signed with the different profiles in mind, and as both share the same agents with ‘Ellipse Agency’.
Camara himself said in a press conference in October that it would be his ‘dream’ to play in the Premier League.
“England has always been a dream. It is fast, and there are lots of duels. It corresponds with what I like in football,” Camara said.
With both players sharing the same agent, it’s very feasible that a double swoop could happen, but Farke will have to try and fend off Sunderland.
