Leeds defensive reset as Struijk sold, Darlow move imminent, Muharemovic targeted and new goalkeeper sought | OneFootball

Leeds United are braced for a defensive reshuffle this summer, with departures confirmed and recruitment under consideration.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Pascal Struijk has joined Brighton and Hove Albion for £20 million. Confirmation of Karl Darlow’s free move to Manchester United is imminent, with both players regulars in 2025/26.

Attention has turned to a possible replacement for Struijk, with Leeds holding an interest in Sassuolo centre-back Tarik Muharemovic.

A new first-choice goalkeeper is also on the agenda, with Parma’s Zion Suzuki and Manchester City’s James Trafford among those liked.

Leeds could also look to cash in on fringe options, and extra cover is needed at left wing-back. The focus is on how the goalkeeping and defensive unit could look next season if recruitment plans come off and reported targets are landed.
