Leeds Transfer Rumours

08 Jul 2025 21:16:29
Leeds United has offered Fenerbahçe €7M for the 30-year-old. Fenerbahçe’s expectation for this transfer is €12-13M. - AS Marca.

08 Jul 2025 21:40:39
Which player Alf?

08 Jul 2025 21:41:37
Reports say Sunderland are also watching how this goes and are ready to swoop! They are spending big and getting deals done very very quickly - I am still confident Leeds will bring in a quality GK midfielder and striker though!

09 Jul 2025 06:50:06
Oops sorry I deleted part of it somehow. It's a goalkeeper, Dominik Livakovic.

09 Jul 2025 11:36:41
Well if Leeds get that done that’s absolutely superb business a no 1 goalie for the price Leeds offering is superb, also agree with byram extension very versatile player likes challenges and competing in the air pretty fit for age and will give 100 per cent every time a bit like Dallas used to and also this morning been linked to Dutch player Jeremy booga pretty good by all accounts marching on.

10 Jul 2025 00:05:40
Yes I hope we will do but like every other Leeds fan out there impatient and can’t wait, we shouting out people that were looking at and every man and their dog is in for them, it’s like Leeds been linked to 30 keepers but 29 of them gone elsewhere yet there’s loads of time, surely should be in now meslier, and darlowe, training with new backs and working together but still no rush for our keeper to come in in the first friendly he can just say hay you, thingy, what’s your name, come on guys he should be in by now also learned tonight Leeds now after a different keeper another long name and Leeds bid 7/ 8 million for him but they want 8/ 10 million Leeds ain’t going to get deals done like that.

08 Jul 2025 15:17:34
Byram likely to be offered a new 1 yr deal as backup.

08 Jul 2025 18:01:49
Reliable player. Don't see any harm in doing so.

08 Jul 2025 18:55:41
Agree. Relatively cheap cost to the club and at this stage of his career he must gain some satisfaction that he's still around the Premier League. Good back up and one we know.

08 Jul 2025 21:15:37
Done deal now. Yeah no complaints from me.

08 Jul 2025 22:00:00
Nor me, tall lad who wins headers and as a last 10 mins in either box could come in handy at trying to score or not concede from set pieces.

09 Jul 2025 06:52:32
Everything ok at your end LAD? Heard a some sackings at LBA due to security breach linked to a pic on X?

09 Jul 2025 13:36:54
All good my side mate, thanks for asking.

I anonymously post on this forum and this forum only. Don’t have any social media and other than telling family I don’t really share the info I get. Seems crazy to me when people starting posting things with pictures on social media when things are supposed to be confidential.

And I only share on here because we are all on here because we all are madly in love Leeds (dedicated site) as opposed to some random numpty on Facebook.

09 Jul 2025 15:48:47
"Random numpty on facebook". love it! 🤣🤣.

09 Jul 2025 22:50:53
Glad to hear it LAD. was slightly worried but didn't think you were the type to post silly pics on X.

10 Jul 2025 21:00:28
Well now I am starting to to get a little worried we all know we ve been linked to a number of keepers, but tonight now the latest is Gunn ex Norwich, keeper on a free, that does nt sound good to me also they saying Leeds fancy ait el nouri midfielder with a bit of quality but Roma put in bid got turned down club believe to be holding out for 27 million, also Leeds interested but according to form underwood, is walking away from that come on we got to spend some money cracking player no 10, I just think like years before Leeds have got this that to spend we are on shoestring budget again, it’s the same as saying why are Leeds walking away from all deals apparently could have got diarra, in or sidiki in but walked away too dear accordingly picking players from computer profiles really poor.

08 Jul 2025 10:59:40
Leeds United's talks for Vanja Milinkovic-Savic progressed last night apparently?

08 Jul 2025 12:26:52
indeed. i hear first medical has been done also.

08 Jul 2025 12:56:09
Really. oooooo the idea of seeing Big Poppa Vanja behind the sticks at ER next season has got me incredibly excited 😅.

08 Jul 2025 13:13:16
No medical has been done or started.

08 Jul 2025 13:28:55
Would represent a major coup imo this one! I would then also consider keeping Mez as #2, and hope the presence and experience of VMS could help Mez fulfil his potential that has been stunted over the last few years.

{Ed025's Note - yeah Brighty, Mez has played like a right stunt in recent times mate.. :)

08 Jul 2025 13:57:50
But bring van in. Fee?

08 Jul 2025 13:55:39
Indeed ed. Why keep him. He has failed to learn at all in years even with a gk coach.

{Ed025's Note - it seems he has gone stale Aus, no real competition will do that to a player and i think his time at Leeds is done mate..

08 Jul 2025 14:43:27
Agree re stale ed. To me. He just never learned. Most could see his deficiencies so why couldn’t he. He should have worked on his catching, positioning, timing and choice of distribution.

{Ed025's Note - its easy to become complacent Aus when there is little competition, i doubt he will be at a club of Leeds stature from here in mate, maybe as a back up keeper will be his next calling i feel..

08 Jul 2025 18:03:13
Lol Ed! Indeed.

09 Jul 2025 05:43:41
Said the same months back ed. He will not be a starter in top 5 leagues.

{Ed025's Note - hes still better than Onana at United though Aus.. :)

08 Jul 2025 10:02:42
Leeds linked to Simon Adingra of Brighton.

09 Jul 2025 14:29:38
Sunderland again.

08 Jul 2025 06:56:16
The signing of Elanga by the barcodes, may lead to us pushing to pick up Joe Willock whose place in the squad will be threatened. Cracking player imo.

08 Jul 2025 08:30:05
Was talk about going for both Longstaff and Willock but said Magpies not willing to let both go. Agree he'd be a good signing-versatile.

08 Jul 2025 08:33:49
Not been the same since his big injury last year, should go Hamer to add more goal threat to the midfield.

08 Jul 2025 10:27:17
I would like willock also, think he has a lot of fire in him.

08 Jul 2025 10:43:11
I know we’re trying to keep ourselves in the premiership but buying all 6 ft plus stacking the team with all tall tackling guys does nt do it for me what about a nice number10 someone good with set pieces, putting players in on goal just a little bit of imagination, it’s a must to me it’s like telling teams were going to sit in and defend, when we play exciting, attacking, football, not boring and long staff, and willock why would Newcastle selll them move them on because they know nothing exciting about them I think it’s bad to say but would rather start with Harrison, all the names linked to Leeds and were bringing in other teams deadwood poor,

08 Jul 2025 13:07:39
Majority of players are someone else's deadwood John, it's name of game in transfers, same as managers

Perfect example Henry from Juvé to London, couldn't buy a goal in Turin, legend in Prem then,

Lots of permutations for players to hit or miss at a new club.

08 Jul 2025 13:33:42
For the next few seasons, give me versatile, consistent performers with experience, over any marquee, solely creative types, to cement our place in the division. No space for luxury players, as much as I'd love to have 'em in the team. That's not me saying we should be negative tho, quite the contrary.

08 Jul 2025 13:35:24
Yes I totally agree but they still young why Newcastle getting rid I know because there’s nothing exciting about them, and what you got to remember Leeds already have amps, tanaka, griev, who I think Leeds could still possibly sell plus Leeds bringing in stach all same players we want some ballers who can turn the game for us someone like a saka, Diaz, I know we can’t bring them in but that’s what I mean about game changers were putting in to many defenders, we’ve got the money why ain t we splashing on someone nice please.

08 Jul 2025 18:05:47
Geordies can afford to upgrade. Their "cast offs" are still very PL capable tho. I think Sean Longstaff is 28 tho isn't he? Good age for us.

09 Jul 2025 21:14:00
No he s not Leeds are all younger and Leeds have got to pull well away from that 1 turned down 12 million when supposedly coming in for between 8/ 10 million and let’s be honest he not better than we ve got more than 12 million for a player that hardly played last season they want to get the price up and because Leeds outdone by Sunderland twice they think or don’t want to lose out again when that’s all they want is the price of the player they ll buy for is money.

07 Jul 2025 23:36:11
Longstaff deal getting closer apparently.

08 Jul 2025 09:29:39
A few things seem to be coming together. Gud (done) and Longstaff looks close. The German giant still crops up and Diouf and Willock mentioned. Any news on Shea Charles. Didn't see much if him last year but thought his performance at ER was top notch last season. Plays in multi positions.

08 Jul 2025 10:52:33
Come on boys aim a little higher, willock longstaff, Shea Charles, they ain’t going to keep you in premiership diouf, really good but with what we’ve got be overloading with defenders and I don’t think you ll see diouf coming in for 23 million just not on Leeds structure we must have one or two ballers in because otherwise what happens to our boys now amps, tanaka griev, they just going further done pecking order we’ve got to have a bit of balance there, a bit of skill somebody to run with ball take a player on turn a player around and put players in on goal.

08 Jul 2025 11:46:56
Out of curiosity do you know how close?

I mentioned 10 days ago about SL and GG and was told they were practically done then. It’s taken 10 days on the GG since then so wondering if SL is on the same time scale.

08 Jul 2025 11:55:09
I think there are a lot of questions at the moment. Does DF fancy Ramz or Schmidt? Not on what happened last season. Will they be gone? Ao should be fine in PL but think Gruev isn't. This season we'll have fewer matches but against better opposition and much more intense. Last season we had the best bench but we won't this year. We can run on a small squad but I think it's risky and you need to be able to rotate and cover the injuries that will occur. Therefore a squad with solid cover required even if not the marquee signings. That will hopefully be filled by the keeper and top notch striker.

08 Jul 2025 12:27:29
Does DF fancy Ramz or Schmidt?

No.

08 Jul 2025 13:44:56
That’s still not making sense either, but Leeds are to sentimental must bomb out the players not going to use first not after, get rid first then know exactly where we are, we must be strong like bamford nothing against him but he’s been the highest paid player at Leeds for a while yet what’s our return very very poor if we not going to use them they must go bamford, griev, piroe, because let’s be honest I know he was Leeds top scorer but let’s be honest he wouldn’t start games in premiership.

08 Jul 2025 14:11:26
Schmidt played about 70 minutes in the C and Ramz 700 odd. Doesn't strike me as a vote of confidence.

07 Jul 2025 21:21:25
Main German reporter saying we haven't bid for Stach but a deal is possible

Might make his visit to TA a positive thing as he was willing to look around before the transfer fee was decided on, shows a willingness from him.

07 Jul 2025 15:54:19
apparently we aren't looking at bringing a 10 in - DF wants us to line up with 2/ 3 8s instead.

07 Jul 2025 17:22:59
It wouldn't be the worst idea in the world

At this stage in our development we need to stay in the division and probably a 10 is a bit of a luxury. As would be a non-defending wide player.

Luxuries are for when we are established.
I enjoyed last season and we didn't have a 10 then either.

07 Jul 2025 17:30:17
YEP said we wanted a 10 a few days ago so not the case.

07 Jul 2025 23:38:10
YEP also said GG never visited the club and look what happened to that particular 'truth'. YEP just say what the club are happy for them to say.

08 Jul 2025 04:41:53
3 8s and a recently suggested back 5?

08 Jul 2025 07:01:55
YEP rarely accurate with anything, since the great Don Waters! (Late 80s, early 90s for youngsters! )

08 Jul 2025 11:45:25
We simply can’t play with 5/ 6 eight s I know he s saying 2/ 3 eights but we already got 3 and bringing in more just does nt do it , we ve got to be more positive we already play some really good football with boys we have but where s the game changers the boys to lift Leeds again on from last year take us up another notch, we won't be doing that with longstaff, willock, sergeant, we ve already got better let’s bring in some excitement and a number 10 is a must. And someone with putting in good balls from set pieces and corners and let the striker take the penalties we don’t want a different penalty takers every week.

08 Jul 2025 13:40:11
Totally agreed on the dead ball aspect John!
What's Gudmunsson like on that front, anyone?

07 Jul 2025 11:08:35
Update on Gudmundsson?

Medical must be booked in with him arriving in Leeds yesterday morning

Hopefully get a move on with a keeper next, hearing could be Zentner.

07 Jul 2025 13:02:31
He is here, he’s completed his medical this morning. Going for photos at elland road today at some point.

Then just the announcement when the club are ready unless anything crops up it seems to be a done deal.

07 Jul 2025 13:36:15
Re the Keeper, Zentner.
I found this on his Wiki, and hope he's had corrective laser surgery since"
In one of his appearances, on November 4, 2017, against Borussia Mönchengladbach, he went viral for an "air kick" after mistaking the penalty spot for the ball following a back-pass, which nearly resulted in a goal.
Remind you of anyone?!
MOT.

07 Jul 2025 13:52:03
Great news! On to the next one now! My money is on Perri. any other opinions on next signing?

07 Jul 2025 14:07:51
Great news pal!

If Stach has stalled then I'd just skip ahead and get the keeper done, my money is on Zentner.

07 Jul 2025 23:35:47
As I have been saying for weeks. Never in doubt.

08 Jul 2025 07:02:59
Agree Alf. Signings do actually take time sometimes!

09 Jul 2025 21:22:31
Yes they do with Leeds we are always trying to undercut the team we’re buying from if they re asking 15 million Leeds trying for 8/ 9 million look what happened with Sunderland we know it takes time but how long now as stach been mentioned in the links with Leeds why has nt that deal been done yet but clever of the other team they ve said now loads of other teams interested will be looking at 20 million plus why ain’t Leeds strong enough to just pay a decent price or walk away.

06 Jul 2025 21:12:34
One signing Leeds have seemingly missed out on is Anton Stach, he was at the training ground around 10 days ago but things have not proceeded as expected.

06 Jul 2025 21:48:48
I’d agree LAD2, first linked with him like 2 weeks ago.
We do seem to be very slow at getting any deals agreed and over the line.
So many rumours around though none except Gudmunsson and Stacy seem to have any validity, yet these 2 have been rumbling on now for weeks.

06 Jul 2025 22:08:56
How certain are you mate? Few sources saying they haven’t heard anything.

07 Jul 2025 06:24:05
Very disappointing if it turns out that way LAD, of the definite targets to date, he was perhaps the one I was most excited about.

07 Jul 2025 07:00:05
I certainly haven't heard anything about this being dead. Interest from other teams, incl Bournemouth so not as straightforward as we would like.

07 Jul 2025 08:27:03
I know everyone is keen to see all the signings made ASAP, but the complexity of any deal these days is such that its not possible to be done and dusted in 24hrs. Look at the Wirtz transfer to 'pool. Nobody knows how long it's actually taken other clubs to get signings over the line, as it's rarely as high profile or discussed as much as Leeds. I'm keeping the faith for now, and pretty confident that we will be well set by the time the season starts.

07 Jul 2025 08:36:47
Look at Sunderland nicking those two. They did that pretty quick.
Only difficult if it’s Leeds by looks.

07 Jul 2025 11:55:31
We dunno if they were in talks for weeks tho, do we Aus?

07 Jul 2025 12:10:40
Sunderland getting armand from sassulo too becoming an issue this
Either Leeds are offering poor contracts not offering agents or clubs enough cash or players are really not liking what they see at TA.

07 Jul 2025 12:11:15
I’m with Clue if it’s true we’ve missed out on Stacked (6ft 4!) his stats were incredible last season in a highly competitive league, local journalists likening him to Declan Rice, hopefully we can still get him.

07 Jul 2025 13:01:11
I can’t say for certain but I can say he was at the training ground and based on being there like all the others usually that’s one of the last points of contact once everything else is agreed and they usually come back for medicals and the photos pretty quickly. The fact he hasn’t says I “believe” we may have missed out. No facts though just my understanding of the situation. It’s always possible he comes back if nothing else is offered but it doesn’t seem as if he’s “all Leeds” and may be using us as a back up or a negotiation block. But again this is only my assumption of the situation.

07 Jul 2025 13:06:14
Naive bright. It’s becoming an issue now.

07 Jul 2025 13:53:26
Hmmmm. Only person ever to think i was Naive was Baz, and he didn't have a Scooby. 😬😬.

07 Jul 2025 14:21:55
Harsh bright. Anyway. Time will tell.

07 Jul 2025 17:17:07
Harsh on Baz, or you Aus? 🤣🤣😬.

07 Jul 2025 17:31:12
Aus, you can't be calling Bright naive when his track record of accuracy and being informed is on a far greater level than yours so far.

Nobody has called you naive previously and they would have far greater grounds to do so.

I think we all respect your opinion as to the links to the two lads who have gone to Sunderland but without knowing as to Leeds' desire to buy them (and I know you don't have anymore idea about that than I do) it's just another uniformed post on here.
