Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on three Serie A players in Artem Dovbyk, Andrea Pinamonti, and Nico Gonzalez.
The transfer window has just 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.

AS Roma target Artem Dovbyk replacements
Leeds and West Ham United have been linked with Artem Dovbyk of AS Roma and the Whites’ reported interest is because Dovbyk is an alternative to Rodrigo Muniz, with the Fulham striker Leeds’ top target.
Dovbyk could be available at a cut-price with Roma. In fact, Dovbyk’s agent has already spoken out regarding the Ukrainian striker’s future with the Serie A giants.
It’s said that Dovbyk is keen to leave Roma after just one season in the Italian capital. Now, Roma are attempting to replace Dovbyk and the transfer speculation is ramping up.
Andrea Pinamonti rejects Leeds’ transfer pursuit
Leeds have agreed a fee with Sassuolo for Andrea Pinamonti, but it’s reported that the striker has rejected the move to West Yorkshire if the latest reports are to be believed.
Sassuolo have been promoted back to Serie A but they are open to his exit and it is believed Pinamonti wants to move to the Premier League. However, Alfredo Pedulla says he’s rejected Leeds’ efforts.
The Italian forward scored 11 goals last term while on loan at Serie A side Genoa. He is reportedly an option for Leeds alongside Dovbyk, but they will have to look elsewhere or return to Muniz.
Nico Gonzalez pushes for Juventus exit amid Leeds interest
Immediately after Leeds’ draw with Milan, Graham Smyth reported that Leeds were considering a move to sign Nico Gonzalez.
According to Sport Mediaset writer Gianni Balzarini, Gonzalez has now asked to leave Juventus this summer. That is despite Gonzalez only joining permanently earlier in the current transfer window after a loan.
After hitting at least 15 goal involvements in his three campaigns with Fiorentina, Gonzalez struck just four goals and five assists for Juve last term.
