Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Dominik Livakovic, and a pair of left-backs.
The transfer window is well underway now and Leeds United are continuing their momentum in the market as more concrete transfer news emerges and they complete their fourth summer addition.
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, 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 miss out on El Hadji Malick Diouf and Archie Brown
Leeds have had interest in El Hadji Malick Diouf, with reports emerging after Leeds fans urged their club to sign the Senegal star when he kept Bukayo Saka quiet during Senegal’s 3-1 win over England.
Slavia Prague’s manager confirmed Diouf trained alone, and he was not involved in any of his side’s pre-season fixtures at that stage. Some have even claimed Diouf is the best player to play for Slavia Prague in 10 years.
However, West Ham United have won the race for Diouf. That left-back news comes after it was revealed Leeds lost out to Fenerbahce for Archie Brown as well. Even if Gudmundsson has been signed in the last week instead.
Vanja Milinkovic-Savic prefers Napoli to Leeds
Leeds’ interest in Vanja Milinkovic-Savic remains and it’s been stated that Leeds are pushing hard to sign Milinkovic-Savic. as the giant Serbian is one of a three-man goalkeeper shortlist for Leeds.
Other reports state Leeds are now insisting to sign Milinkovic-Savic while, crucially, Milinkovic-Savic wants a Premier League switch sooner rather than later at the age of 28.
The Torino goalkeeper’s preference is now said to be Napoli and it means that Leeds might have to change approach to land Milinkovic-Savic this summer, as a switch is looking unlikely at the current moment.
Leeds target Dominik Livakovic asks to leave Turkey
Croatian hero Dominik Livakovic has emerged as an alternative option. It’s not the first time Leeds have been linked to Livakovic, with interest emerging during the World Cup in 2022.
It’s even been claimed in recent days that Leeds have made a £6 million bid for Livakovic. However, nothing concrete has emerged on that front thus far. But a further development could offer hope in any race to sign him.
Farke’s side may have been handed a boost to secure the 30-year-old, with Livakovic asking to leave Fenerbahce amid links to Leeds emerging in recent days.
