Leeds United transfers, James Trafford ‘leaning towards’ move as Julian Brandt call awaited | OneFootball

Leeds United are pressing on with their pursuit of James Trafford and awaiting a call from Julian Brandt, while departures gather pace, according to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk.

Leeds have been hopeful of signing the Manchester City goalkeeper if an exit can be agreed this summer. The 23-year-old is on a FIFA-mandated three-week break after England duty at the World Cup and is said to be leaning towards Elland Road, with Newcastle no longer considering him.

A fee is still to be agreed, although the clubs have held talks. Other goalkeepers, including Japan international Zion Suzuki, have been linked, but Leeds were not in active pursuit while waiting on Trafford.

Leeds are also hopeful Julian Brandt will soon decide on his future. His father Jurgen visited Thorp Arch for talks last week, and Brandt has been training at Bayer Leverkusen’s facilities while he weighs his options.

Valencia want Largie Ramazani back in LaLiga after last season’s loan. Jack Harrison looks likely to join New England Revolution, with Leeds set to receive an undisclosed fee and gain wage relief.

Daniel Farke’s squad are in the United States and have begun work at Red Bull’s new facility in New Jersey before facing Wrexham this weekend.
