Leeds United race to add attacker as Mateus Mane pursuit ruled out | OneFootball

Leeds United are in a late dash to reinforce their attack before the English transfer window closes at 11 PM tonight.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reports the club are not pursuing 18-year-old Wolves winger Mateus Mane.

A failed loan move for Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk, who is finalising a switch to Tottenham Hotspur, has left Leeds recalibrating targets. Speculation over the weekend had linked Mane as a late option to add pace out wide. It remains unclear whether Wolves’ reported £40million valuation is a factor.

Mane can operate as an attacking midfielder, winger or striker, fitting the desire for versatility. Instead, Leeds are waiting for other attacking options to become available elsewhere.

Progress is firmer in defence, with a loan-to-buy for Melvin Bard from OGC Nice being finalised. Bard is expected to provide cover for Gabriel Gudmundsson at left-back. As the deadline looms, Daniel Farke and his recruitment team will operate opportunistically if high-quality targets emerge.
