Leeds United transfer latest as Elvedi nears and exits progress | OneFootball

Leeds United are juggling late-window business, with forward targets under consideration and several deals expected to progress this week. Less than a week before their Premier League opener at Nottingham Forest, decisions are sharpening.

Borussia Monchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi has flown in for a medical and is poised to become the next signing after James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic and Harry Wilson. Football Insider claims Leeds could explore a move for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao if terms can be negotiated, although his wages are described as a major obstacle.

One incoming and three departures are anticipated. Sebastian Bornauw is expected to finalise a loan-to-buy switch to Hamburg, with Joel Piroe also expected to join West Ham United. Goalkeeper Lucas Perri is believed to be heading to Torino on loan with a £12m option.

Leeds have been dealt a setback in their pursuit of Igor Paixao, with the Saudi Pro League preparing a move. Marseille are demanding around £42.75m for the Brazilian, and after missing out last year, Leeds could do so again.

Beyond headline attacking names, there remain other areas Daniel Farke can target before the 1 September deadline. Leeds still have scope to strengthen across the squad.
