Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Jonny Howson, Rodrigo Muniz, and Igor Paixao developments.
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.
Leeds offered fresh Rodrigo Muniz hope
It’s likely that a club-record fee from Leeds is required to sign Rodrigo Muniz. However, there have been promising signs in their hopes of capturing him of late.
Other strikers have been linked to Fulham to replace Muniz in recent weeks, with Leeds’ interest maintained. It appears as though Fulham are planning for Muniz’s departure further now.
Leeds are making good progress on a deal for Muniz, as we revealed. However, it’s reported that Muniz to Leeds is gathering pace and even that Leeds believe they will strike a deal for Muniz with Fulham now as the latest.
Jonny Howson in line for Leeds return
Leeds are being linked with a sensational return for former midfielder Jonny Howson, with the former Middlesbrough midfielder playing for the Whites between 2006 and 2012.
He could become a player-coach of the U-21 team, and Leeds fans are delighted at the idea of Howson’s return. He captained the club a number of times in that stint, and the 37-year-old’s experience could be vital with youngsters like Harry Gray.
Igor Paixao could stay at Feyenoord over joining Leeds or Marseille
Leeds have hope despite Marseille’s Igor Paixao interest. It’s been stated that Marseille looked close to striking an agreement recently but Leeds are using the fact Paixao has called Raphinha his role model.
It’s been claimed that Leeds are using Raphinha to persuade Paixao into coming to West Yorkshire in the current transfer window. They also have more hope, with Marseille £6 million below the Paixao asking price.
However, despite the fact Leeds have more than just hope regarding the Brazilian Feyenoord winger right now, it’s also been claimed Paixao is more likely to remain at Feyenoord than move to either Leeds or Marseille now.
