Leeds weigh Musah move and left-back search intensifies
Leeds pursue a triple swoop: James Trafford interest is firm, talks ongoing for Shea Charles after bids were rejected, and free agent Julian Brandt is discussed after his father visited Thorp Arch.
Leeds miss out on free agent Matt Targett as he joins Hull, forcing a search for a left-back to back up Gabriel Gudmundsson. Out-of-contract Sunderland defender Dennis Cirkin is cited as an option.
Leeds sign Tarik Muharemović from Sassuolo for £34.1m to replace Pascal Struijk. The 23-year-old left-footed centre-back offers aerial presence and high defensive actions, boosting clean sheet and DefCon appeal.
Roma are prepared to trigger a £50m release clause to sign ex-Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville from West Ham. Leeds have added Tarik Muharemovic for £34m and remain in the market for a creative midfielder.
Leeds contact AC Milan and Yunus Musah’s camp over a midfield move as Daniel Farke readies for a survival fight. Villa chase Ilaix Moriba for £15m, while Fulham price Rodrigo Muniz at £34m.
Leeds eye a £15m move mirroring their Noah Okafor deal, seeking smart value for Daniel Farke after early window activity.
Leeds target Man City keeper James Trafford for £40m as the 49ers explore a staggered deal. Darlow has left, Perri’s exit is on hold. Muharemovic and Wilson have signed, but Leeds still seek two goalkeepers.
Leeds are linked with free agent John Stones, which could push Daniel Farke to persist with a back three and may affect competition among centre-backs.
