Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Sean Longstaff, and a midfield exit.
The transfer window is intensifying for the 49ers and Leeds United, who are continuing their momentum in the market as more concrete transfer news emerges to add to their four 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 far from ready ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.
Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, and Gabriel Gudmundsson have all become Leeds players in recent weeks, meaning they are making progress but more are set to follow.
In the meantime, with vital months 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.

Newcastle likely to allow Sean Longstaff to join Leeds later in the window
It was confirmed that Leeds were close to signing Sean Longstaff from Newcastle United lately after Leeds tabled a third bid of £12 million for Longstaff and the midfielder was edging closer to a switch.
Despite Longstaff potentially joining ‘before the weekend’ last week, there were even suggestions that this deal is off. However, the latest reveal might suggest otherwise. Now, a fourth Longstaff bid from Leeds has been mooted and the deal is not totally dead.
The saga for the 27-year-old rumbles on, especially following the most recent update via The Athletic. They believe a Longstaff exit will become more likely as the window progresses and Newcastle become more amenable.
Napoli close in on Leeds target Vanja Milinkovic-Savic
Leeds’ interest in Vanja Milinkovic-Savic remains and it’s been stated that Leeds are pushing hard to sign Milinkovic-Savic in recent weeks.
However, in recent days, Napoli have prepared a move for Milinkovic-Savic, and now the Serbian appears to be heading in one direction.
The Torino goalkeeper’s preference is now said to be Napoli and the latest states that Napoli now have an agreement with Torino for the goalkeeper to make the switch across Serie A, leaving Leeds needing an alternative.
Darko Gyabi closes in on loan exit from Leeds
Earlier in the summer, Paraag Marathe confirmed Leeds’ need for sales this summer. With 10 names outlined as potential Leeds exits already, but there could well be more who are considered in order to create PSR headroom.
Darko Gyabi, Sam Greenwood, and Joe Gelhardt will not feature in the coming season, with each earmarked as potential PSR boosts for Leeds if they can secure decent fees for the out-of-favour cohort.
It’s now been stated that Gyabi will leave on loan, despite the fact he is in the final 12 months of his deal at Elland Road. He has options in France and the Championship this summer.
