Report: Leeds pushing to sign international ‘warrior’, would need to smash their transfer record
Leeds are still pushing hard to sign Nahitan Nandez but Cagliari are refusing to lower their demands for the midfielder according to a report from Corriere dello Sport (print edition, July 13th, pages 22 and 23). The Whites have plenty of footballers who are easy on the eye. They do lack any kind of bite and tenacity in the middle of the park, however. Leeds are allegedly pushing hard to get a deal done for Nahitan Nandez of Cagliari – Jonathan Moscrop / Sportimage PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUK SPI-1051-0049 And Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has clearly identified that as an area of his squad at Elland Road that needs to be addressed.

Report: PL rival ready to bid for 24 y/o after Leeds refused to meet asking price
Burnley are ready to make a bid for Lyon defender Maxwel Cornet this summer. According to The Sun, the Clarets are in talks to sign the 24-year-old and are ready to bid around £13 million for the Ivory Coast international. The report claims that Burnley want extra pace, and they have earmarked Cornet as a perfect fit for their squad. Cornet can play at left-back and further forward, and his versatility would be handy for the Clarets. German outfit Hertha Berlin are also in the race for the player’s signature and could offer more than Burnley are willing to splurge. We have already seen several players moving from the Ligue 1 to England this summer, and Cornet could do the same. Cornet was heavily linked with a move to Leeds United, but they were not willing to meet Lyon’s asking ...
Report: Leeds want to sign £25 million winger after EURO 2020 heroics
Leeds are keen to sign Sampdoria ace Mikkel Damsgaard after his fine performances for Denmark at Euro 2020 this summer, according to a report from Tuttosport. Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa seems to be on a mission to get Leeds back to the top echelons of the game. Junior Firpo has already arrived from Barcelona while links with Nahitan Nandez (Corriere dello Sport) and Matheus Cunha (Leeds Live) continue to circulate. And it seems as though another name is now on the Whites’ radar. Mikkel Damsgaard is allegedly a transfer target for Leeds United Mikkel Damsgaard a transfer target for Leeds Tuttosport claims that the Yorkshire outfit could challenge Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur for the talented 21-year-old this summer. And what a coup it would be for Bielsa if he manages to bring the...
Report suggests Leeds are following 24-yr-old defender, another PL club keen
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Ivorian defender Maxwel Cornet. According to Foot Mercato, Leeds and Watford are following the defender, and he could be sold for the right price. SL View: Leeds must look to sign a centre-back instead The Whites recently signed Junior Firpo from Barcelona, and it would be quite surprising if they decided to invest in another left-back. There is no doubt that Marcelo Bielsa needs to improve his defensive options this summer, but Leeds are better off investing in a quality centre-back instead. Robin Koch has failed to impress since moving to Elland Road, while Diego Llorente struggled to showcase his potential because of injury problems. The 24-year-old Lyon defender is a good player, but he would struggle for regular game time at Leeds. Firpo i...
13 goals and 15 assists last season: Marcelo Bielsa is an admirer of 24-yr-old attacker
Leeds United have repeatedly been linked with a move for Rangers winger Ryan Kent over the past year. According to the Daily Mirror’s David Anderson, Marcelo Bielsa admires Kent and Leeds could make a move if they fail to land the other wide targets on their shortlist. Just a line on Ryan Kent who is being linked again with Leeds. Leeds have tried to sign him before and he is someone Bielsa admires. They are not currently trying to sign him, but that may change if they cannot land the wingers ahead of him on their hitlist. #lufc — David Anderson (@MirrorAnderson) July 9, 2021 Kent has been outstanding for Rangers since joining the club, and Steven Gerrard will want to hold on to him as long as possible. The winger helped Rangers win the Scottish Premiership title last season, weighing in w...
‘Progressing well’: Report claims key Leeds star is close to signing new long-term contract
Patrick Bamford is close to agreeing terms on a new contract with Leeds United, according to The Athletic. The 27-year-old striker moved to Elland Road from Middlesbrough in 2018 for around £10 million. Bamford has proven to be a superb signing for Leeds, although it wasn’t until last season when he really came into his own. The former Chelsea and Middlesbrough ace racked up 17 goals and eight assists in 38 Premier League games for Leeds. Bamford is absolutely vital to how Marcelo Bielsa’s side set up to play. Not only is he a technically gifted striker, but he is also great when playing with his back to goal and bringing others into play. Patrick Bamford close to new Leeds deal The Athletic claims that talks over a new contract for Bamford are progressing really well. It will be...
Leeds linked with a move for 24-yr-old with 10 goal contributions last season
Leeds United have been linked with the move for the Olympique Lyonnais left-back Maxwel Cornet. According to reports (translated by Sportwitness), the Premier League side submitted an offer of around €12 million for the defender a few weeks ago but the French outfit are not convinced. Marcelo Bielsa wants to sign the 24-year-old left-back this summer and Leeds will have to come up with a better offer to lure the Ivorian away from the French club. Cornet has a contract with Lyon until the summer of 2023 and the French outfit are under no pressure to sell him this summer. The 24-year-old left-back managed to score four goals and pick up six assists across all competitions last year and he could prove to be a quality addition to the Leeds defence. Cornet is reliable at the back and ...
Leeds frontrunners for 25-yr-old, but they will need to raise funds through sales first
Uruguayan international Nahitan Nandez continues to be linked with a move to Leeds United. According to Centotrentuno, the Premier League club are front-runners to sign the Cagliari midfielder, who is also a target for Inter Milan. However, the Italian champions have limited resources and may not be able to pay the €36 million asking price. Leeds are keen on signing the 25-year-old, but they are waiting to sell some players before they can complete the transfer. Marcelo Bielsa will be hoping to add considerable quality to his side this summer, with Leeds looking to build on their impressive performances from last season. Adding more quality to the midfield should be a priority for the Whites, and Nandez seems like a really good fit on paper. The hard-working midfielder could be a quality p...
9 goals and 8 assists last season: Leeds keen on a summer move for 19-yr-old attacker
Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing PSV Eindhoven attacker Noni Madueke. According to Football Insider, the player could cost around £20 million this summer, and his valuation has encouraged the Premier League club to make their move. The Whites have been linked with other wide players in recent weeks, and signing Madueke could prove to be a quality long-term investment. The 19-year-old has had an outstanding season in the Netherlands, bagging nine goals and eight assists across all competitions. Madueke can operate anywhere across the front three and would certainly improve Marcelo Bielsa’s attacking unit next season. The player is on the radar of Crystal Palace and Borussia Dortmund, and Leeds will need to move quickly to fend off the competition. Leeds need to add more qua...
Report: Leeds United expected to complete £15 million signing later this week
Jack Harrison is expected to complete a permanent move to Manchester City this week. According to Manchester Evening News, the winger is likely to cost around £15 million. Harrison was an important player for Marcelo Bielsa’ side last season and it is no surprise that the Whites are looking to sign him permanently this summer. SL View: Harrison’s move to Leeds is ideal for all parties Leeds will be looking to pish for European qualification next year and they must look to bring in proper reinforcements in order for that to happen. Keeping the important players at the club will be just as important. He helped Leeds secure promotion to the Premier League and then followed it up with an impressive campaign last season as well. The 24-year-old scored eight goals and created eight assists in th...
West Ham and Leeds linked with 23-yr-old winger, player will cost around £12.8m
West Ham United and Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Sporting Lisbon Winger Jovane Cabral. According to A Bola, the Portuguese outfit are prepared to sell the player for a price of around €15 million (£12.8m). The 23-year-old had a reasonably good season with the Portuguese outfit last year and he scored eight goals and picked up five assists across all competitions. SL View: Bargain squad option for both clubs For the reported asking price, he could prove to be a handy option for the two Premier League clubs. Cabral is quite young and he’s likely to improve with experience. The Cape Verde international could prove to be a bargain in the long run. Leeds could definitely use more depth in the wide areas and it seems that Marcelo Bielsa is looking to bring in a winger this s...
Report confirms Leeds offer for 25-yr-old, player could sign on loan with obligation to buy
Leeds United have been heavily linked with a move for Nahitan Nandez for weeks now. According to La Nouva Sardegna (via Sportwitness), the Premier League side have offered a fee of around €15 million to loan the midfielder for one season. The report further states that Marcelo Bielsa’s side will have an obligation to buy the player for another €15 million at the end of next season. The 25-year-old South American midfielder has done well for Cagliari in the Italian league and signing him for a fee of around €30 million seems quite reasonable. The player reportedly has a release clause of around €36 million and it would be quite impressive if Leeds managed to sign him for less than that this summer. Apparently, Cagliari chief Tommaso Giulini has a good relationship with Leeds chief Andrea Ra...
