Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Rodrigo Muniz, Anton Stach, and two Newcastle United midfielders.

The transfer window is well underway now and Leeds United are continuing their momentum in the market as more concrete transfer news is emerging with every passing day of the window.

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.

Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, and Sebastiaan Bornauw all became Leeds players in recent weeks, meaning they have three new additions thus far and Gabriel Gudmundsson and more are set to follow.

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.

Leeds United have reported interest in Joe Willock and Sean Longstaff

It has been reported previously that Leeds want a £10 million deal for Sean Longstaff as they look to add at least a few midfielders into their engine room for the Premier League.

A rationale for Leeds signing Longstaff has emerged as well. However, he’s not the only midfielder they like who is contracted to Newcastle United.

Joe Willock is also on Leeds’ shortlist reportedly, even if David Ornstein has since reported Leeds are pushing hard for Longstaff this summer with a third bid.

Anton Stach continues Hoffenheim training despite contact with Leeds

Anton Stach is a ‘prime candidate’ target of Leeds following our initial suggestion that Leeds should be making a move for Stach this summer.

Stach is “considering” a switch to Leeds amid reported interest from other Premier League clubs in Stach this summer, but he could join Longstaff at Elland Road.

The Hoffenheim midfielder will cost Leeds a maximum of £17 million. However, Stach is still training with Hoffenheim despite Leeds stepping up interest, per Florian Plettenberg.

Leeds receive Rodrigo Muniz hope in recent update

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. 

Ricardo Pepi could be a Muniz replacement while two other strikers have been linked to Fulham to replace Muniz in recent weeks, with Leeds’ interest maintained.

It’s also been reported that Leeds are readying a second Muniz bid in recent reports. However, a more concrete statement was made regarding the fact Fulham are planning for Muniz’s departure further now.
