Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on No.10 Oscar Gloukh, Aaron Ramsdale, and Natan de Souza.
The transfer window is officially open and things are getting increasingly more serious regarding transfer news and rumours with every passing day of the window for Leeds United.
A busy summer is expected at Leeds as Daniel Farke looks to improve several areas of the side, with the Leeds squad far from ready ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League in spite of movement to bring in Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol in recent weeks.
In the meantime, with vital months ahead for Farke and the Leeds hierarchy, here we have taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and the biggest headlines coming out of the club.

Oscar Gloukh emerges as an attacking midfield target for Leeds
Leeds’ desire for a number ten means a £21 million target could now be an option, with Leeds linked to Oscar Gloukh of Red Bull Salzburg.
Israel media described Manor Solomon as the “most-prominent” player in the Israeli national team, and he is arguably Israel’s most-important player alongside Gloukh.
Gloukh and Solomon have been compared as the key attacking players for the Israeli national team in recent years, but the 21-year-old arguably has the brighter future and higher ceiling of the pair.
The 49ers target Aaron Ramsdale for Rangers over Leeds
Plenty of goalkeepers have been linked with Leeds. However, one option for Leeds could end up joining the 49ers’ new club Rangers.
Rangers are about to sign Max Aarons, with Aarons also linked with Leeds earlier this month. Now, The Gers – who have been taken over by The 49ers and have hired Russell Martin – want Aaron Ramsdale.
Ramsdale has been linked with a move to Elland Road but Rangers now want Ramsdale on loan due to a loan clause in Ramsdale’s contract to foreign clubs.
Natan de Souza could cost Leeds a club-record fee
Reports emerged a few days ago stating Natan de Souza of Real Betis is a Leeds target this summer, with the 24-year-old a versatile defender who can operate at left-back or centre-back.
It has since been revealed that it would take Leeds a club-record to acquire Natan from Betis this summer, with Betis setting an asking price of €45 million (£38.5 million).
One way to make it affordable or reduce the asking price is to propose a swap between Mateo Joseph and Natan for Leeds and Betis, but whether Leeds remain interested at that price point remains to be seen.
