Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Ligue 1 duo Marcin Bulka and Mahdi Camara, as well as Junior Firpo’s future.

The transfer window has been open for a while and Leeds are continuing their momentum in the market as concrete transfer news and rumours are emerging 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 the additions of Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol in recent weeks.

In the meantime, with vital months ahead for Farke, the 49ers, and Leeds’ recruitment team, here we have taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and the biggest headlines coming out of the club.

Mahdi Camara joins Noah Sadiki on Leeds’ shortlist

A player who has appeared as someone who could follow the first arrivals of the summer is Union Saint-Gilloise midfielder Noah Sadiki, as talk emerged that Leeds made a £8.5 million bid for Sadiki.

Talk of the bid has since been played down but Sadiki could be a coup for Leeds and it’s expected that Sadiki leaves Belgium amid interest from Leeds.

However, other names have been linked in the media as well. The latest is that of 26-year-old Stade Brestois midfielder Mahdi Camara being on the 49ers’ radar for Leeds.

Marcin Bulka could replace Illan Meslier for Leeds

Leeds have been linked with a number of goalkeepers already this summer, with Illan Meslier looking set to leave after six years with the club.

In the last week, Meslier has been strongly linked with a move to Turkey. However, Leeds don’t have their replacement through the Elland Road door yet.

Now, Sunderland and Leeds eye OGC Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka. It’s a move which would make sense for a 26-year-old in the final year of his deal with the Ligue 1 outfit.

Leeds left-back Junior Firpo drops another Real Betis hint

The reality is, it’s just a matter of time before an announcement regarding Junior Firpo’s future comes to fruition, as Firpo could join Real Betis at any moment.

Ever since Firpo’s phone call with Betis, it’s looked likely to materialise. Firpo has been approached by Betis in recent weeks.

The final crucial piece of information may have hit yesterday ahead of July 1st when his Leeds contract ends. Firpo has been pictured in a Marc Roca Betis shirt and it’s yet another hint regarding his future.
