Leeds ‘to sign’ Michael Zetterer as Mudryk loan pursued and Demirovic eyed | OneFootball

Leeds United are accelerating late-window business after a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest lifted them to eighth. Anton Stach struck late at the City Ground, with a week remaining of the summer transfer window.

Reports suggest a £4.3m fee has been agreed for Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Michael Zetterer, 31, who would act as back-up to recent arrival James Trafford. Meanwhile, Tuttomercato says Lucas Perri is Torino’s main target and could join in the coming days on loan with an option around £12m.

Fabrizio Romano reports Leeds are pursuing Mykhailo Mudryk on a season-long loan. Chelsea are said to be open to a move to help the Ukrainian reacclimatise after 20 months out due to a provisional doping suspension, and the 25-year-old is understood to prefer remaining in the Premier League.

Daniel Farke is also weighing up attacking options, with Ermedin Demirovic viewed as a priority. The Stuttgart striker joined from Augsburg in 2024 for £20m, and Leeds could have to exceed that fee to bring the 28-year-old to Elland Road before the deadline.

Leeds are also credited with interest in Midtjylland forward Dario Osorio. Despite a £12.8m valuation by Transfermarkt, the price could reach £17m amid competition for the 22-year-old.
