Emi Buendia’s Daniel Farke praise amid Leeds transfer links
The Whites need a new No.10, and a Leeds United News exclusive revealed that Gus Hamer and Emi Buendia are the front-runners for Leeds amid talk that Buendia is valued at £20 million by Aston Villa recently.
The Aston Villa playmaker has had his say on his future since then amid links to River Plate in his native Argentina, but now could be Leeds’ chance to swoop in on Buendia.
That’s because of Buendia’s recent comments on Daniel Farke, with many construing his praise as something of a come-and-get-me plea to reunite with his former boss.
The 49ers agree Max Aarons deal for Rangers over Leeds
It was said that once the Rangers takeover was complete, Paraag Marathe would be less hands-on at Leeds but his Rangers team have identified Max Aarons as a summer transfer target.
Leeds were said to be weighing up Bournemouth’s Aarons. In recent days, Marathe’s Rangers have eyed Aarons over Leeds. Now, it appears as though the trigger has been pulled up in Scotland and not for Farke’s Leeds.
Leeds have missed out with Rangers securing a deal for Aarons on a loan with no obligation to buy at the end of the year. It reunites Russell Martin with the Norwich academy graduate.
Real Betis interest in Mateo Joseph met with Leeds interest in Natan
Real Betis are planning for Mateo Joseph talks later this month following the conclusion of the U-21 European Championships in Slovakia this summer.
Interest has been there for some time now, with Betis reportedly offering £10 million to Leeds for Joseph in January. However, other reports state a cheaper deal is being eyed as Betis want a Joseph deal worth £6.75 million but with a 20% clause.
But could another player head to Leeds in the other direction? That’s because Leeds have reportedly asked about Betis’ Natan. The 24-year-old is versatile and can operate at centre-back or left-back.
