Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Rodrigo Muniz alternative Mehdi Taremi, Charlie Cresswell’s sell-on, and Igor Paixao’s situation.
The transfer window has around six weeks left for the 49ers and Leeds United, who are continuing their momentum in the market as more concrete transfer news emerges to add to their six summer additions.
A busy summer still lies ahead at Leeds as Daniel Farke looks to improve several areas of the side, with the Leeds squad getting closer to completion ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League and now entering a crucial stage in pre-season.
Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Sean Longstaff, and Anton Stach have all become Leeds players in recent weeks, meaning they are making progress but more are set to follow.
In the meantime, with vital weeks ahead for Farke and the recruitment team, here we have taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and the biggest headlines coming out of the club.
Feyenoord winger Igor Paixao’s situation with Leeds and Marseille interested
Leeds have hope despite Marseille’s Igor Paixao interest. That’s because it is reported that Marseille are £6 million away from the Paixao asking price currently.
It’s been claimed in recent weeks that Paixao is happy to leave Feyenoord and Leeds are willing to pay more than Marseille after the latest report. However, there are other claims that Paixao is more likely to remain at Feyenoord.
That could be the case over moving to either Leeds or Marseille, and it could now be their final offer from the French giants. In fact, Paixao’s Instagram hinted at similar on Wednesday.
Charlie Cresswell’s sell-on clause could help Leeds financially via Liverpool
Charlie Cresswell is no longer a Leeds player, having departed the club permanently for Ligue 1 last summer, which some Leeds fans believe is a mistake.
Now, Toulouse want as much as £18 million for Cresswell following Premier League interest in Cresswell from Sunderland. In more recent reports, it’s believed West Ham are interested in Cresswell.
Leeds’ 15% sell-on could be crucial. That is especially true after what is perhaps a surprising twist, it’s reported that Cresswell has Liverpool interest as the ex-Leeds man looks set to leave Toulouse this summer.
Mehdi Taremi could be a Rodrigo Muniz alternative for Leeds
Leeds’ pursuit of Rodrigo Muniz continues, but it might mean the Whites have to absolutely smash their record deal to complete a switch, which might force them to look elsewhere.
Leeds need a striker, given that Mateo Joseph has told Farke he wants to leave Leeds in recent days. It means Lukas Nmecha and Joel Piroe are the only players who look guaranteed to be at the club in 2025/26.
It’s since been claimed that Inter Milan’s Mehdi Taremi is interesting Leeds. The 33-year-old would be more of a budget option over Muniz, with Leeds then able to place more of their budget into other areas of the squad.
