Leeds United transfer latest with Nico Elvedi agreement and £eight million exit close | OneFootball

Leeds United have just over two weeks to complete their window, with activity expected on arrivals and departures.

According to yorkshireevenpost.co.uk, three priority signings are already in, with Harry Wilson joining from Fulham on a free, and centre-back Tarik Muharemovic plus goalkeeper James Trafford arriving for a combined £74.1million from Sassuolo and Manchester City respectively. All three have made unofficial pre-season debuts.

Attention now turns to further attacking options and cover on the left of defence, while a back-up goalkeeper is also being considered. Quality in any area will not be overlooked.

Goalkeeper Lucas Perri has not featured since the opening friendly at Wrexham due to a minor knock, and Daniel Farke has hinted movement is possible. Perri has been linked with a loan to Torino, though there are reports Marseille could pursue a permanent deal.

Sebastiaan Bornauw could leave, potentially on loan to Hamburg with an option to buy. Farke said he would be happy to keep him but suggested the Belgian wants a different path, and any exit would leave Leeds light at centre-back, though a potential replacement has already emerged.

Leeds are close to finalising Joe Gelhardt’s permanent return to Hull City, where he has spent the past 18 months on loan. The package could be worth up to £eight million, with other reports suggesting a guaranteed £six point five million, and an announcement is expected soon following medical tests.

Leeds host FC Augsburg at Elland Road tomorrow afternoon as pre-season continues, with focus today on potential incomings and outgoings.
