Leeds Transfer Rumours

22 Jul 2026 13:59:39
22 yo NEC Nijmegen Midfielder Kodai Sano, has been approached by Leeds over the last week. Primarily a CM but can play LM and DM. 180cm.

22 Jul 2026 20:58:00
What's the difference between CM and DM?
A few yards?

22 Jul 2026 21:46:26
If we are playing Arsenal he'd be a DM, but Ipswich a CM. 😆

22 Jul 2026 12:28:38
According to the German press Wober is off to Schalke on a permanent deal and has passed his medical. Hopefully they don't ask for a second opinion.

22 Jul 2026 13:41:57
Looks like his contract has been cancelled and he goes as a free.

22 Jul 2026 14:00:37
Second medical scheduled, so they may do..

22 Jul 2026 12:20:14
Not seen any other posts on the subject but there is one that says Wober has completed a medical at Schalke. Doesn't indicate whether a loan or transfer but given his injury record last season I think it will be the former.

22 Jul 2026 13:48:44
We terminated his contract, apparently.

22 Jul 2026 08:41:15
By all accounts Brandt has signed 2 yr contract - Romano.

22 Jul 2026 10:56:30
Wish it was true, but, unfortunately, it's a fake image going around. Just check Romano on Twitter, the tweet doesn't exist.

22 Jul 2026 10:12:39
Cant see it on his time line?

{Ed001's Note - it is also possible he realised he was wrong and deleted it. He is known to do that a fair bit.}

22 Jul 2026 10:44:03
Not see anything from him, where did you see that Farsley?

22 Jul 2026 13:49:05
It was a fake post.

21 Jul 2026 05:47:49
Looking at 6 ft 9 goalie Scherpen. At least targeting important positions now. Worry about defenders and midfielders later.

21 Jul 2026 08:33:17
Being linked with a few, but Scheperen is already in talks with Ipswich, and they have signed Oevelen as back up. Tzolakis linked with us, but it looks like he's off to Hull. Suzuki seemingly is interested, but the price quoted is around £26m.

There'll be others, but it's slow progress.
Disagreement with Torino re Perri, who wants an option to buy, but we're insisting on an obligation. On past performance on loans, I expect us to give in.

21 Jul 2026 09:51:23
So just 41 days remaining of the window. Not long at all now, especially given what still needs achieving this window.

Just 2 signings made within half the window, and (with Darlow disastrously leaving) no number 1 gk signing.

LUFC have friendlies soon, with, as it stands, currently either last season's 4th choice Cairns or a keeper, Perri, who Farke has no trust in and is looking to offload from the club.



This needs sorting ASAP, as it's not in any way ideal preparation for the start of the EPL season, nor a good look on our recruitment dept imo. 😕

21 Jul 2026 10:29:06
I'm with Baz, they must have known Darlow was not signing, and if they are listening to Perri offers, they obviously want him out.
They need to get something in soon, ideally to join the pre-season friendlies in some capacity.

21 Jul 2026 10:38:20
Really, we had no idea you felt that way, Baz, maybe you should have said something before. 😉

21 Jul 2026 10:46:39
Indeed, Llf.
Hehe, Canada. Yep, indeed.
But, let's wait till end of window, if need be, eh, to sign a keeper, as you proscribe.

21 Jul 2026 10:55:44
Think striker and goalie 100% priority in next 7 days. Forget the rest. Just pay what is needed. Stop faffing around. Unload Gnonto or Ao. Make some dosh.

21 Jul 2026 12:38:29
Looking forward to tomorrow's post proclaiming only 40 days left, with another summary.

21 Jul 2026 12:57:53
We 100% need a keeper or two, Baz!

21 Jul 2026 13:28:06
Yes indeed, we definitely do, Canada! ..

Brighty, haha, quite droll..

But, why you weren't bothered by Darlow leaving makes little logical sense, imo, with Leeds floundering to sign even one keeper, let alone two.

21 Jul 2026 17:29:46
How do you know they're floundering?
Foundationless assumption.

21 Jul 2026 17:54:03
My thoughts: Is Perri an absolute lost cause? He's number 1 atm and we've invested in him. Do we have gk coaches who could focus on his weaknesses?

Then maybe we need another, bit like we did with Darlow.

21 Jul 2026 18:49:33
Well, have we signed a keeper yet, Brighty?

I am 6 foot 4.. happy to help out.

22 Jul 2026 00:04:21
I'd target Jason Steele, especially if Peri stays. I believe Steele is better than Darlow, but it's just my opinion.

22 Jul 2026 01:41:14
Rumour going round that Martinez has decided to stay at Villa rather than push for a move to Juventus, in which case that'd be one less club competing with us for Trafford's signature.

22 Jul 2026 07:59:39
Very close to Trafford now.

Will need another GK too for when Perri leaves.

22 Jul 2026 08:19:33
We used to have a production line for good keepers coming from the academy. What's happening there right now?

20 Jul 2026 23:33:00
Leeds United, monitoring FC Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju, with his Danish club prepared to sanction his departure this summer but only for a record-breaking fee.

Newcastle, Everton and Brentford also said to be interested. Must admit never heard of the lad and know nothing about him but the word striker is exciting.

21 Jul 2026 08:36:28
Picked up from Benfica as a 19 year old on a free. Had three decent seasons in Norway, especially the last one. A big step up to the Premier League though.

21 Jul 2026 15:47:45
Denmark, not Norway - close though.

18 Jul 2026 14:43:25
Few sources reporting we are interested in Lyon attacker Pavel Sulc (25) rated around €25m.

18 Jul 2026 16:02:02
25 g/a last season. At the age, I'd rather him than Brandt.

19 Jul 2026 03:22:57
Yep Sulc over Brandt every day of the week.

19 Jul 2026 09:11:44
Either is fine by me! Really depends on who is going to really give the white shirt everything!

20 Jul 2026 01:17:49
Nothing in this link according to Waccoe ITK guys.

21 Jul 2026 12:14:04
Poor man's Ryan Kent. 😜

21 Jul 2026 15:59:02
Too slow for the prem. I actually go the other way.. Think Brandt is a better signing.

18 Jul 2026 12:03:11
Rumours that Brandt has arrived in Leeds this morning.

18 Jul 2026 14:44:22
That would be a very positive step!

18 Jul 2026 18:43:49
Are we going to not play Okafor or Wilson then, because neither Brandt, Okafor, or Wilson can be part of any current Leeds three-man mf that doesn't get run over in a back 4. We were 5,3,1,1 last season, and were pushed hard in mf.

Spurs have repeated that over the last 2 years. Sign Charles and you might get 2 of those 3 attacking options on in a 4, 3, 2, 1 with Charles and Ampadu holding behind Stach, with 2 attackers + DCL up top.

19 Jul 2026 13:33:03
Good n interesting post, Pedro.

19 Jul 2026 14:44:07
It is indeed, Corkey! Will be interesting to see how our formation adapts to the playing personnel we acquire! Very interesting, Pedro!

17 Jul 2026 23:34:56
Graham Smyth and Beren Cross reporting Julian Brandt's father has been at Thorpe Arch.
