Leeds Rumours

31 Jan 2026 10:28:45
Besiktas seemingly offered 10 million for Lucas!

31 Jan 2026 10:42:44
Add another 3 and he's theirs.

31 Jan 2026 10:59:35
Take it . Get rid.

31 Jan 2026 17:26:11
Let them have him for 12, if they take Darlow too.

30 Jan 2026 21:12:10
The JSL deal is off, according to the very reputable usual ITK sources, Leeds have agreed to bring in Mohamed Amoura from Wolfsburg, should be done by the deadline on Monday! Was not convinced JSL was the right fit for us anyway and massively over priced, think this is the better option of the two!

30 Jan 2026 21:29:29
I'll take a speedster playing off DCL.

30 Jan 2026 22:33:11
He's listed on Transfermarkt as worth €32M (£27.7M) . Wonder how much we've agreed to pay, surely not the £40M we were alleged to have offered for JSL. And, guess what, like Buonanotte another name the rumour mill never came up with.

30 Jan 2026 23:38:22
If it's true that is. 😀.

31 Jan 2026 00:27:04
A rumour for now, but that's what we are here for.
I do hope we have someone else lined up apart from JSL though.

31 Jan 2026 03:12:50
We will sign JSL+another.

31 Jan 2026 05:47:12
Amoura wasn't on the team sheet for the match v Koln last night as the club have suspended him for "misconduct". He was also suspended in early 2025 after an altercation with a team mate. It might be they want to offload him asap.

31 Jan 2026 06:01:33
It may not be related but the Algerian FA and the player have issued an apology for him mocking a Congolese supporter at AFCOM.

31 Jan 2026 07:15:23
Does he fit with farkes personality test though?
Punch up with team mate suggests no.

31 Jan 2026 08:46:32
Yeah I am hearing we lost interest after the misconduct. If we were ever truly interested.

31 Jan 2026 09:17:17
Either your sources are liars or you are Saley, Amoura isn't joining and was never even in advanced talks.

31 Jan 2026 09:23:14
Its all over Waccoe pal, all the usual ITK sources.

31 Jan 2026 10:15:44
This story all originated form 1 tweet from a none reputable source.
Doesn’t mean it won’t happen but I’d be surprised if it did.
Doesn’t fit Farkes profile of appear to be what Farke likes around the dressing room.

31 Jan 2026 10:35:20
Its literally been confirmed by reputable foreign journos that its true and we are in for him, but they are reporting some doubts that it gets done before the deadline. He asked to withdraw from the squad for the last game.

31 Jan 2026 11:19:06
Do I trust someone who claims to be ITK, no I don't. When I see a player sat at a desk at ER signing on the dotted line I'll believe he's ours and not before.

31 Jan 2026 12:20:39
Can't see this guy starting a punch-up at 5'6", however, Franny Lee gave big Norm a thrashing. 🤣🤣.

31 Jan 2026 13:11:51
All the itk’s that said we were signing Romano Schimd.
Believe it if it happens.

Personally I don’t think we will sign anyone.

31 Jan 2026 14:02:47
Harry Wilson still stalling on signing a new contract at Fulham. If they don't sell him by Monday and he still doesn't sign one before the end of the season he can go on a free in July.

31 Jan 2026 14:05:17
The ITK on Waccoe only know what they're told in the moment. What they're told could be wrong, or it could be right and then change.
Only one or two have a half decent hit rate and even then it's kind of pointless.
It's all well and good saying we will sign x player, two months before he plays for us.
I want to see them in a Leeds shirt, anything else is content purely for clicks and revenue.

Ignore the journo**** and starve their revenue until they get a proper job, or act like a proper journalist.

30 Jan 2026 13:35:27
For those fed up of the JSL saga!
Lucas Perri is apparently of interest to Besiktas.
If it’s true would you sell now?

30 Jan 2026 15:31:16
I would sell, but the enquiry has been rejected.

30 Jan 2026 16:27:28
I probably would sell as he is clearly not suited to the English game. We'd need to source a replacement, but for now we're OK with Darlow as 1st choice and Meslier as backup.

30 Jan 2026 18:00:12
No way we are selling Perri in Jan
We could be in the market again in the summer though then we may sell.

30 Jan 2026 19:56:16
Take the money and run, he's a busted flush.

30 Jan 2026 20:23:25
Mohamed Amoura done deal.

30 Jan 2026 11:37:31
Lots of dominoes yet to fall between Wolves, Palace, and Leeds for the JSL deal, but Leeds still very much in the race and JSL's favourite option

Leeds do have an alternative option if JSL falls through but can't leave it late.

30 Jan 2026 12:34:34
Who would be the alternate option?

30 Jan 2026 13:35:38
Whos the alternative?

30 Jan 2026 13:43:45
Oh Hyeon-gyu, striker from Genk.

30 Jan 2026 13:46:06
Mateta maybe?

30 Jan 2026 15:30:59
It's a striker currently playing abroad, all I can report.

30 Jan 2026 15:41:46
Been reading Waccoe again, Graham?

30 Jan 2026 16:29:46
Oh Hyeon-gyu is a Fulham target too - allegedly!

29 Jan 2026 20:05:38
Leeds put in lowball offer for JSL

Wolves decline

Leeds put in a sensible offer but lower than what wolves wanted.

Wolves wait.

Wolves leak information to the press about other clubs interest.

Wolves leak information about CP interest.

CP says "maybe. Depends on other players"

Wolves fabricate information about a £50 million offer form Palace.

Palace say lol, we've signed our original target.

Now.

Wolves can renegotiate with Leeds or do nothing.

That's where we're at.

All the media furor was/ is Wolves trying to pump up the price.

{Ed025's Note - spot on for me Mo, Wolves are panicking imo mate..

29 Jan 2026 20:54:53
They need as much money as possible but they may have been too greedy. For them to have a £50 million deal (let's pretend) and make a meal out of it, only to come back to Leeds is a desperate, desperate move.

I hope Leeds take them to the cleaners to teach them a lesson and to show that we aren't to be messed about.

29 Jan 2026 21:18:54
Never my 1 million less per day, it's 5 mill a day now lol.

29 Jan 2026 21:55:02
That sounds very plausible MoT . depends now how desperate are Wolves are to sell all indications are that they need to sell now …Leeds may yet get a deal that the we’re hoping for.

29 Jan 2026 22:46:00
What we should do now is withdraw our original offer and make a new one with two alternatives.
1 Buy now for say £20M
Or
2 A loan with an obligation to buy in July for say £25M

They can then choose either a reduced sum now, or an increased sum in 6 months time which would also suit Leeds PSR calculations.

30 Jan 2026 10:51:31
Max Price for JSL is £30M at the age of 25 (only 3 years younger than DCL! ) . He is a viable option and would fit Farkes request to operate with a smaller group and cover for CF (He cannot play anywhere else) and would have re-sale value if it didn't work out.

Wolves are down, so we hold the upper hand here. don't disrupt the team spirit if he's not keen to come. MOT.

30 Jan 2026 16:34:42
I've s sneaky suspicion that Palace never did suggest they might pay £45-50M, and that rumour was just Wolves trying to drive the price up, and Palace don't want to play that game.

29 Jan 2026 13:17:10
If Leeds went to 40million and it was rejected then they were correct to pull away … if Wolves got 50milion then fair play but not 50 million of Leeds money very typical over inflated January deal.

29 Jan 2026 14:35:12
Who says we pulled away?

29 Jan 2026 15:28:37
Well they didn’t increase the offer … so walked away.

29 Jan 2026 15:46:16
That doesn’t constitute pulling out, it means we were out bid.

29 Jan 2026 17:51:44
Well it looks now if JSL to Palace is off …so door open again for Leeds?

29 Jan 2026 18:04:39
Where is this info from?

29 Jan 2026 18:14:48
It's on BBC, Palace agree £50m Strand Larsen deal as Forest chase Mateta.

29 Jan 2026 19:40:31
Palace have agreed fee for Guessand from Villa and are having second thoughts on JSL from Crystal Palace sources.

29 Jan 2026 19:44:16
Palace yet to table a written offer, on BBC sport. Hope they get a move on don’t want him at that price. £15 mil max.

29 Jan 2026 19:48:55
That was subject to Palace tabling a written formal offer for the Norway forward, which Wolves would have accepted.
However, that offer, which was expected to arrive on Thursday, is yet to be received - and sources indicate Wolves have been informed Palace no longer want to proceed with the deal

BBC sport.

30 Jan 2026 07:36:10
It would be very difficult to actually make this one up!

30 Jan 2026 12:32:13
It would bright. Ridiculous.

29 Jan 2026 06:10:43
Fee agreed between Palace and Wolves for Strand Larsen. Sorry guys.

29 Jan 2026 07:25:59
Plan B it is then. Whose that?

29 Jan 2026 07:35:06
I'll believe it if I see it! Right now, I haven't, so I don't! You can be open about being Palace tho, ya know!

29 Jan 2026 09:08:09
I’m not Palace at all, hoping he ends up at Leeds as much as you but it doesn’t look good.

29 Jan 2026 09:35:17
Its crazy how all the frustrations about Leeds are so commonly known.

If you were to ask 100 Leeds fans what their top 5 were, nearly 100% of them would have "Farke not making changes soon enough" and "not being aggressive enough in the transfer window" as two of them.

Its so frustrating. I do fee like the 49ers think the Leeds (and their) pull is bigger than what it is and they can afford to wait things out. That's just not the case. We're a newly promoted club, you have to tackle these things aggressively like Sunderland.

Nearly every fan looked at their summer window and said "wow". Some contrarians said "It'll never work" but look at them. Nearing safe by January having finished 20+ points below us last season.

So frustrating.

29 Jan 2026 09:40:10
Apparently the Palace bid is £45m plus another £5m in add-ons. Is he worth that? Time will tell.

29 Jan 2026 09:48:01
Palace won't spend 40mil he's talking bull.

29 Jan 2026 10:29:03
If Leeds do lose out on this after such public interest, it will show how little they've learnt nothing from how they lost out on players to Sunderland, at the start of ths season.

29 Jan 2026 10:38:22
Player can say no as well.

29 Jan 2026 10:43:06
It's not signed until it's signed.

29 Jan 2026 10:58:20
How about hijacking Florists move for Mateta instead?

29 Jan 2026 11:13:11
Losing out to other clubs over transfers is no big deal, it just shows someone else sees the same potential as us. The real problem is not having a Plan B, unless of course there is one and we just don't know about it - yet! 😒.

29 Jan 2026 13:31:58
If this deal is done at £50 million then Leeds did right by walking away.

29 Jan 2026 14:55:58
Mo, if your coping mechanism is to say we walked away then all good for you.
We did our usual softly softly approach and have been blown away.

By no means am I saying he is good value because he isn’t and wouldn’t have been at £40m but let’s not dress it up here, we’ve dropped the ball again like we did so many times in the summer.

Just wait for the fraudyniners presser.
“ we were never after him anyway”
We are happy with what we have”
We tried”
Rubbish.

29 Jan 2026 16:50:56
Well, well, I need to eat my hat, and gladly will!
Credit as due, that was good early info kicker, and who you support is not in the equation! Feel free to take 3 free potshots at me without rebuke in response! 🍻🍻🍻.

29 Jan 2026 19:56:18
It's not signed until it's signed and it isn't signed.

28 Jan 2026 18:11:56
Leeds moving quick on JSL to anticipate Palace move. Total package could be £40+m wihen add-ons finalised…

You heard it here first
Leeds also looking at Sterling on a short-term contract with option to extend. He is on a free having terminated his contract with Chelsea….

28 Jan 2026 19:09:22
Don't share false rumours, we need about five other positions more than another winger.

28 Jan 2026 19:13:34
Anyone know if there's any medicals booked yet?

28 Jan 2026 20:48:30
"You heard it here first" lol

Hopefully the last aswell.

Poppycock.

29 Jan 2026 00:45:44
We need Sterling like a hole in the head.

29 Jan 2026 07:11:55
Apparently we have a medical booked for tomorrow but no idea for whom it if it even goes ahead.

29 Jan 2026 09:03:36
Bamford maybe. Home sickness.

29 Jan 2026 09:43:14
If LAD doesn't say it then no medical.

29 Jan 2026 12:11:10
Love the word “apparently”.

29 Jan 2026 14:49:59
its one one of my faves, Corkey - those keys are nearly worn out on my keyboard I type it so much.

28 Jan 2026 08:08:45
Ipsbitch offering a deal worth around £10m for Piroe but Piroe does not want to move back to the Championship. Club would be happy to move him on.

28 Jan 2026 09:11:07
Needs to realise he's not good enough for the Prem and move on.

28 Jan 2026 10:28:40
Or find a foreign team that he can start at. Obviously a pay day player with no ambition.

28 Jan 2026 11:10:53
Whatever his level, he's worth more then £10 million.

28 Jan 2026 13:51:14
Like any product being sold, he's only worth what potential buyers are prepared to pay. If nobody is prepared to pay more than £10M, then that's what he's worth. We may think that Strand Larsen is not worth £40M, but if we're not prepared to pay that much but someone else is then that's what he's worth, that's supply and demand.

28 Jan 2026 14:19:48
Agree, supply and demand.

27 Jan 2026 23:13:19
Aidan Butterworth, another Waccoe ITK, saying we are likely to land JSL.

28 Jan 2026 01:05:30
I recognise that name, a former LU player. If that's him, Wikipaedia says he was last heard if in Toronto, Canada. 😮.

28 Jan 2026 02:57:16
For how much though?

28 Jan 2026 07:29:03
He's not ITK.

28 Jan 2026 07:38:52
🤣😂🤣.

28 Jan 2026 11:12:07
Graham smyth is not itk, he is told what to post by Leeds and is a highly curated journalist like beren 'i love my industry' cross.

28 Jan 2026 12:57:23
You mean a puppet mot.

28 Jan 2026 13:52:10
. or Muppet!

28 Jan 2026 14:22:24
Bit harsh gents, clubs and agents control the narratives now and drip feed what they want through Pletenburg or Romano. Local journos are only ever getting info second or third hand now, that's just how the industry works.

28 Jan 2026 15:57:10
Aidan Butterworth. He’s a blast from the past!
Saw him away at Fulham when I was a nipper and he looked a great player. He then quit football as far as I remember to study abroad.

28 Jan 2026 17:10:08
That's right Corkey. He was a very promising member of King Billy's team IIRC?
Which begs the question of how "in the know" someone who left the club over 40yrs ago, leaving footie altogether, can actually be!?

28 Jan 2026 17:18:45
It's not the real Butterworth fellas.

28 Jan 2026 22:01:04
I went to school at Tad with Aiden. He'll be 64 now and there is no way on earth he would be posting rumours on any site. Last time I saw him he was watching us at ER in the West Stand and working as a rep for a football boot manufacturer. Injury caused him to quit football too early.
