Club-record Leeds United transfer ON after Stach as Whites push for signings six AND seven

Leeds has already accomplished that with Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bournauw, Lukas Nmecha, and Sean Longstaff. Gabriel Gudmundsson’s arrival at left-back also provides a more aggressive upgrade to Junior Firpo, who left at the end of the previous campaign and whose return to Real Betis was officially confirmed last week.

With Leeds and Hoffenheim having reached an agreement for a deal costing €20 million (£17.3 million, $23.3 million) for Stach, plus a further €3 million (£2.6 million, $3.5 million) in add-ons, signing number six is now also getting closer for manager Daniel Farke.

Additionally, it has been revealed by sources that the 26-year-old midfield dynamo, who is 6′ 4″ and has two caps for Germany, is now in Germany for his club’s medical.

After agreeing to a four-year contract at Elland Road, the 26-year-old should soon be able to connect with his new colleagues at their Harsewinkel headquarters.

But now that Farke confirmed over the weekend that Patrick Bamford will not be part of his Premier League plans, attention is turning to the person who will take his place.

Although our sources have previously confirmed that there is genuine interest in Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz, rumors that the Cottagers have stepped up their efforts to sign the Brazilian’s replacement in attack have given rise to serious hopes of a new Leeds United club-record transfer in recent hours.

As Farke informs Bamford that it’s over, Leeds gives Rodrigo Muniz hope.

The Cottagers are reportedly prepared to approve the 24-year-old’s transfer to the Whites and have also started what have been called “advanced talks” to recruit Brazilian attacker Romulo from Goztepe, according to reports in Turkey.

Aksam claims that Fulham has already made a formal approach and is prepared to pay €16 million (£13.8 million, $18.6 million) plus a future sell-on clause for the 23-year-old, who finished the previous season with 35 goals and 40 assists in 46 games in all competitions.

Leeds now have fresh hope that a deal can be reached to capture Muniz, who the Cottagers value at up to £50 million (€57.7 million, $67.3 million), after the former Atletico Paranaense player approved the transfer to the Premier League.

The player has only one year left on his current contract, and he has so far struggled to stay healthy under Farke’s leadership.

“I spoke with him in a really candid and open manner. After Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United at the Strawberry Arena, Farke said, “He understands exactly how I see him as a player.”

“In the previous two seasons, I would have liked to see Patrick Bamford fully recovered. He is also aware of how highly I regard him personally, so I felt obligated to speak with him openly and honestly right away.

I briefed him about my plans for the forthcoming Premier League season on what I believe was the second day of preseason.

“He knows he’s not in my plans for the Premier League.”

Leeds transfer roundup: Two Ligue 1 players desired; Whites target Chelsea star

Leeds has also reportedly contacted Chelsea on a potential trade for Marc Guiu, a teenage striker who the Whites considered before the 19-year-old moved from Barcelona to Stamford Bridge last summer, in addition to Muniz and Wilson.

Though Guiu only made 16 appearances in all competitions this season, first-team opportunities are scarce, and there is growing speculation that the Blues may let him go on loan.

Additionally, a potential move to Elland Road has now been suggested, with Joao Pedro and Liam Delap expanding Enzo Maresca’s possibilities.

Consequently, transfer reporter Graham Bailey maintains Leeds’ interest is sincere.

Lucas Perri of Lyon is reportedly a key target for Leeds United’s ongoing quest for a new goalkeeper to improve their team for the forthcoming campaign, while TEAMtalk can confirm that another Ligue 1 stopper is also an option.

Regarding exits, Sam Greenwood may be one of ten players leaving Elland Road this summer as Farke tries to reduce his roster. He has once again been linked to a return to his boyhood club, Sunderland.
