Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Fulham’s Brazilian centre-forward Rodrigo Muniz, Liverpool winger Ben Doak, and developments on Jack Rudoni.
The transfer window has just over three weeks remaining for the 49ers and Leeds United, who are running out of time as they look for players in the market and as more transfer news emerges to add to their seven summer signings.
A busy end to the 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 and feeling more ready ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.
Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Sean Longstaff, Anton Stach, and Lucas Perri have all bolstered Leeds’ ranks in recent months, meaning they are making plenty of progress but more are still set to follow.
In the meantime, with vital weeks ahead for the recruitment team and with Farke’s team in pre-season ahead of Everton visiting Elland Road, here we have taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and the biggest headlines coming out of the club.
Graham Smyth’s verdict on Leeds target Rodrigo Muniz
In recent weeks, signs of positive progress over a deal for Muniz have been made. However, the links to Leeds began two months ago now and there is other interest in the centre-forward.
Serie A outfit Atalanta BC are also keen on Muniz. In fact, Atalanta were said to be pushing harder to sign Muniz, with representatives meeting with Fulham. However, there have been further developments of late.
Atalanta have been put off by Fulham’s asking price of Muniz, with it stated that Fulham say Muniz is not for sale. However, Graham Smyth maintains Leeds still have Muniz hope in spite of the other interest.
Ben Doak’s valuation amid other competition
The Athletic’s Beren Cross believes Leeds have pitched to several wingers and another has become an option for the West Yorkshire outfit in recent days.
He states Doak is one winger Leeds have discussed and that sources close to the player and Anfield indicated Leeds have expressed interest in the 19-year-old.
Doak is the right profile for a team like Leeds, but Doak has a £20 million valuation on his head from Liverpool. The 19-year-old was on loan with Middlesbrough last season but Liverpool fans already love Doak.
Jack Rudoni interest maintained by Leeds
One name who Leeds are reported to have retained an interest in is Coventry City’s Jack Rudoni. Earlier in the summer, Leeds were linked with a move for Rudoni after Coventry lost out in the play-offs.
Newcastle United have also been linked with Rudoni, but more recently, Southampton have entered the race for Frank Lampard’s star player. Then, reports this week have revealed how Southampton have had a bid rejected for Rudoni.
The door is now open for Leeds to make their Rudoni move if they wish to, and with the Whites still needing an attacking midfielder. But Rudoni has been urged not to join Leeds this summer by some sources.
