leeds unitedAfter a season-long loan at Valencia, Largi Ramazani will return to Elland Road.

The winger scored six goals and two assists in 31 appearances and most of those came earlier this year.

His performances led to suggestions the La Liga side wanted to retain the player from Leeds United.

As there was no buyout clause, Los Chasse had to agree to new terms with Daniel Farke’s side.

On Wednesday, Sports Witness covered many of Spain’s claims Valencia CEO Ron Gourlay’s upcoming meeting with the Whites for Ramadan.

leeds united meeting key

Thursday edition of As Looks at the pros and cons of a new deal for a 25-year-old. He also explains why Ron Gourley’s meeting with Leeds United is important.

Larghi Ramazani had difficulties at the beginning of his loan spell at Valencia, partly due to injury. His league debut was in February and he became a game changer, before losing his place in the playing eleven in May.

His attitude and behavior Last month his teammate Carlos Corberán and his coaching staff were reportedly not happy.

Despite these shortcomings, the Spanish club are willing to re-sign him this summer. Los is the CEO of Chase ‘I know that wingers like Ramazani are rare, even if the Belgian has mixed qualities.’

AS state Grayles will have a ‘final decision’ on the attacker’s future once he knows the Whites’ demands.

The Premier League side are clear he has no future at Elland Road. Therefore, they could remove him permanently and their request will be key to determining whether he continues at Valencia or not.

Our take: Playing it safe with the Leeds United man

Larji Ramazani is a market opportunity for Valencia but not a priority. It looks like Los Chase is playing it safe, in which case no deal is possible.

Valencia may use the leak of its suspicious attitude in May as a price-cutting strategy.

They can always use this as an excuse if Los Angeles Chargers refuse to meet Leeds United’s price. In recent years, the Spanish club has had to carefully manage its finances due to economic challenges.

Kerim Alajbegovic could star for Bosnia at the World Cup leeds united There’s a chance to sign him.

The winger scored nine times and provided three assists for Hamburg during the last campaign. This led to him becoming part of the national team, in which Alajbegovic was a key player in World Cup qualification.

He already has four assists and a goal for Bosnia since his debut.

The 18-year-old player will return to Bayer Leverkusen as part of a permanent transfer in the summer. But his future remains uncertain and Leeds United could bring him to England this summer.

Transfer efforts are ongoing

today’s gazzetta dello sport Report on efforts to bring the young man to Italy. Alajbegovic’s father has moved to Rome and AS Roma are among the contenders to sign him.

Miralem Pjanic himself has been courting the winger and has been approached by several Serie A clubs for his signature.

However, nothing concrete has come to light. Even though the teenager has put Roma at the top of his wishlist, the Giallorossi are yet to make a formal move.

Now, Premier League clubs are ‘making moves’ for the player. There are signs of interest from Leeds United, who could prove to be a real threat to Roma.

Gian Piero Gasperini is keen on this player but he also has other options in the shortlist. This includes West Ham’s Crescencio Somerville and Leipzig’s Antonio Nussa.

Game-Changer Signature

The Bosnian is one of the most exciting talents in the game at the moment. This will make the next few weeks very exciting for his career and could also play a role in a potential Leeds United transfer.

Roma’s financial capacity is limited, which could be an advantage for Daniel Farke’s team.

Despite this, the World Cup could be a negative for Leeds United. Other clubs could join the race and offer him European football, which Bayer Leverkusen can also guarantee next season.

New Netherlands international Crescencio Somerville has praised it highly leeds unitedBecause he is ready to play for his country in the World Cup.

NU.nl reports the 24-year-old’s comments today From a press conference with the Dutch national team.

world cup dream

Despite never playing for his country, the West Ham United star is set to play for the Netherlands at the World Cup this summer.

He was a surprise inclusion in Ronald Koeman’s squad for the tournament a week earlier and earned a place in the group after beating Liverpool’s Jeremy Frimpong.

it’s a reward He went on to have an impressive season with the Hammers, despite their relegation to the Championship, and was, he believes, a boyhood dream come true.

“I wrote that I want to make it to the World Cup,” he said.

“I thought: 24 is a good age for the World Cup. (It’s) a childhood dream come true.”

“At that time (March) the national coach said I had to stay fit and do my work. Still, it was a surprise that I was included.”

Leeds’ decision paid off

International recognition is the next step for a winger who has never chosen the easy path. This included leaving his family in Rotterdam in 2020 when he decided to move to Leeds United.

He returned to Feyenoord that summer after a loan spell at ADO Den Haag but decided to move on rather than stay where he was. It was a big decision for the 19-year-old player at that time.

“It was tough,” he admitted.

“At Leeds, they did everything they could to make me feel like a family. That always inspired me to keep going. I knew what I was in for.”

Raphinha effect

He eventually developed into a key player at Elland Road, transforming from a dynamic dribbler into a goalscoring winger. This allowed him to score 19 goals as Leeds secured promotion in the 2023/24 campaign.

This improvement came after an effort to focus more on the numbers. Current Barcelona star Raphinha played a key role in that selection. At one point Somerville was behind the Brazilian in the pecking order at Leeds.

He concluded, “I was behind him in the pecking order at Leeds. He showed what you have to do in terms of hard work.”

“When I recently saw him in the top ten of the Ballon d’Or, I thought: I too can achieve something like that.”

Hull City And leeds united USL Dunkirk’s Anto Sekongo has been placed on their target list for the summer.

The Tigers won promotion to the Premier League and Sergej Zakirovic is working to strengthen his squad.

Hull City are keeping an eye on the 21-year-old, and Lead United and several other clubs are also after him.

The attacking midfielder joined the Ligue 2 team on a free transfer in July 2024 and has been a regular.

His playing time and overall performances have improved this season as he scored nine goals and provided six assists in 34 matches.

His league statistics per game are as follows:

• Appearances: 32
• Start: 30
• Minutes played: 2,533
• Minutes per game” 79
• Target: 9
• Assist: 4
• Key passes per game: 0.8
• Big chances made: 4
• Big chances missed: 6

The latest club to join the Hull City chase

Africa Foot There is a report focusing on the newly promoted Premier League team’s interest in Anto Sekongo.

Sergej Zakirovic’s side have included him on their shortlist, while several other clubs are also pursuing the Malian.

These include Leeds United, Lille, Toulouse FC, FC Lorient, Stade Rennais, AS Saint-Étienne and Samsunspor.

The Turkish club’s owners also own a Ligue 2 team, and whether this gives them an edge over other contenders is unclear. If the player decides to leave USL Dunkirk, he will ‘soon’ have to choose between several suitors.

The report does not mention Dunkirk’s stance or its demands. The report also does not mention who among the interested parties is ahead in the race for the transfer.

Contracts, prices and statistics

Anto Sekongo’s contract expires in 2028, and transfer market He is worth €4m. His supporters will be waiting for his final decision on where he wants to play next season.

After signing the attacker for free, the French club can make a profit from his sale.

Another attacking midfielder is also on the agenda for Daniel Farke’s side. On 1 April, Khel Sakshi broadcast news The Whites, Southampton and Watford are all set to sign Paris FC’s Illan Kebble.

Faced competition from FC Porto leeds united To sign Mauro Jr. from PSV Eindhoven this summer.

Mauro joined the Eredivisie winners from Desportivo Brasil in 2017 and has been with the first team since 2019.

Operating primarily as a left-back and occasionally as a defensive midfielder, he scored one goal and 11 assists in 37 appearances this season.

The left-back’s performances have drawn attention from a number of clubs, including Leeds United and Porto.

Leeds United have already made contact

football international There is a report of interest from both the Whites and FC Porto and PSV Eindhoven’s plans to prevent a summer exit.

The Brazilian, who won the Eredivisie four times, has become a fan favorite at the Philips Stadium. His time there may be coming to an end as Daniel Farke’s side and others come into the picture.

He has a release clause with a ‘limited transfer fee’, with VI not mentioning the figure. FC Porto and Leeds United are aware of this.

The Premier League side are ‘already actively enquiring’ about the versatile player with his representatives. They will have to overcome the Dragons and other clubs to bring the 27-year-old to Elland Road.

PSV will not be able to prevent the South American from exiting if one of his supporters triggers his condition. To avoid this possibility, the Eindhoven club wants to offer him a new contract and remove this clause. It is unclear what plans Mauro Jr. has for his future.

Porto could be tempted by European football

FC Porto and PSV Eindhoven both qualified for the Champions League after winning their respective league titles.

The Dragons could use this to lure the fullback away from English clubs who cannot offer European football after finishing 14th.

This season Daniel Farke had two left-backs in Gabriel Gudmundsson and Sam Byram. The latter contract expires in June.

Leeds United sent Isaac Schmidt on loan to Werder Bremen, who decide against his staying Permanent. The English club will have to decide whether to fire him next season or keep him as Gudmundsson’s backup.

If Schmidt were to leave, Mauro Jr. could be an option to replace him. transfer market The Brazilian is valued at €18 million with a contract until 2029.

Shakhtar Donetsk goalkeeper Dmytro Riznik has dismissed reports linking him with a potential move leeds united.

concurrent report on goalkeeper today And comments from journalist Mykhailo Spivkovsky regarding the goalkeeper and a possible move to Elland Road this summer.

Leeds United rumors put to rest

According to the website, the journalist has reported that he recently spoke to Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznik about a possible transfer to England during the championship celebrations.

In response, Riznik insisted he had ‘no knowledge’ about potential Leeds United talks. Moreover, only media reports made them aware. In other words, there is nothing going on behind the scenes, or the player is not telling the whole truth.

Riznik has risen to prominence this season and has established himself as one of Shakhtar’s key players. They have played 41 games in all competitions, winning 32 and keeping an impressive 22 clean sheets.

This appears to have put him on the Leeds radar. Sport Witness covered a report More reporting from Football 24 in Ukraine.

That report states that Leeds have already made a bid of €10m for the 27-year-old. It appears that Daniel Farke’s side was waiting for a reaction from both sides. Whether Riznik’s answer to the latest question can be considered one of these is debatable.

leeds goalkeeper position

Maybe he is just playing coy so as not to cause any trouble. Or that could be all the talk at Leeds United right now.

Either way, Leeds are likely to be on the lookout for a goalkeeper this summer. Daniel Farke has rotated between Lucas Perry and Karl Darlow this season.

Neither is seen as a long-term solution. Reports insist that Illan Meslier is likely to leave Elland Road this summer too.

With Premier League football now safe, they can now start planning for the summer. Whether Dmytro Riznik is one of them remains to be seen. At the moment, it appears he just wants to know that nothing is happening.

leeds united It appears that they have missed out on the signing of Kofi Amoako from Dynamo Dresden. He is joining Hamburger SV this summer, replacing Daniel Farke.

image hanover report That the 21-year-old defensive midfielder is set to remain in Germany rather than make a move to Elland Road.

leeds united’s rejection

The newspaper reports that, although no deal has been agreed yet, Kofi Amoako is likely to be a Hamburg player next season.

The German club intends to activate his release clause as soon as possible, with plans for next season’s squad already well in place.

Hamburg have an advantage after earning Bundesliga status early and will look to take advantage of it by defeating Amoako quickly. He will cost less than €2m. If Dresden is relegated to the third division, this is reduced to €500,000.

According to the newspaper, the midfielder is said to have ‘clearly expressed’ his desire to join Merlin Polzin’s side. He has rejected interest from Mainz and Leeds United to stay in Germany this summer.

bundesliga chance

Hamburg is equally keen on him. He believes he belongs in his team and has taken his career into his own hands by leaving Wolfsburg rather than waiting for his chance there.

He then had to move on loan to VfL Osnabruck in the third division and then joined Dresden in 2025 for around €200,000. Now his performances for them have attracted the attention of the Bundesliga side and he is set for a move to Hamburg.

The move would be a blow to Leeds. They will have been confident of securing the 21-year-old this summer. Actually, a recent report indicated that it was a deal that suited everyone perfectly.

Instead, it seems that Amoako has decided to remain in Germany. He wants to dominate the Bundesliga this time.

leeds united Defender Gabriel Gudmundsson has refused to comment on the status of his injury, with it appearing that he will miss another game this season.

hollandsport The full-back provides comments today after being included in Sweden’s squad for the World Cup.

sweden inclusion

Sweden manager Graham Potter announced his squad for the tournament this week. He decided to drop many big names from the group. These also include players like Dejan Kulusevski, who is still struggling with a knee injury.

However, other injured players were also involved. For example, Gabriel Gudmundsson of Leeds United was one of them.

He has not played for the past few weeks after suffering a back injury in Leeds United’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea on 26 April.^th. He is on his way back from that, but cannot say whether he will play in the final two Premier League games for Leeds.

“There’s nothing I can comment on,” He said.

“I stepped back a bit. But I have had good talks with the national team management and I will be fully prepared when the World Cup squad assembles on May 27.”

Strong leeds united season

It appears that the 27-year-old has no concerns about his fitness for this summer’s tournament. But he is also now talking about the past this season, a sign that he can avoid any risks now that Leeds United are safe in the Premier League.

“It will be difficult to go straight from a season in the Premier League to playing in the World Cup. But at the same time it is a big dream for me.” He added.

“I had a great season at Leeds where we got a contract and then it will be fun to travel with the national team to Mexico and the USA.”

That’s not even the only sacrifice he’s making. This summer he will also become a father for the first time, which he will miss.

“A special summer. It will be hard to top 2026,” He concluded.

“Of course I would love to be there when the baby is born. So there are mixed emotions. But my wife is incredibly strong and we have good support from home.”

wolves Midfielder Joao Gomes is reportedly turning down clubs left and right this summer, including Leeds United, even when some of them are offering more money than Atletico Madrid.

The Brazilian has become one of Wolves’ biggest assets after falling short in the Championship. Recent reports have already suggested that Atletico are making a strong move for the 25-year-old, and talks are heading towards a deal worth around €45m (£38.5m).

Now there is a clear picture of how the player himself is facing the situation.

according to the journalist pablo oliveiraJoao Gomes rejected approaches from Zenit St. Petersburg, Atalanta, Galatasaray and even Leeds United.

Interestingly, some of those offers were clearly financially better than those of Atlético Madrid.

Looks like Joao Gomes has made up his mind

This tells a lot about where this story is headed.

The opportunity at Atletico Madrid is reportedly considered unique by the midfielder. It makes sense when you look at the bigger picture – Diego Simeone, Champions League football and the chance to compete near the top of La Liga.

Joao Gomes is not just interested in securing the biggest contract available. And as a result, many clubs have already been sidelined.

The Leeds United angle looks a little different. Joao Gomes adapted well to English football and could easily stay in the country. Instead, he seems ready to do something different.

The mention of Atlanta is also interesting. Atletico initially looked at Ederson first Drawing attention to Joao Gomes. Now the Italian club themselves are reportedly among the parties unable to convince him.

The wolves are now waiting for the next step

Things are becoming clearer from Wolves’ side too.

The club is still in a strong position as Joao Gomes is under contract until 2028. Earlier reports had revealed that Wolves wanted around €46m (£40m), while Atletico’s expected offer is currently around €45m (£38.5m). It’s hardly a difference.

Furthermore, once a player begins to rule out multiple clubs and is clearly leaning toward a destination, negotiations usually become more straightforward.

Having turned down clubs from England, Italy, Turkey and Russia – especially with offers of slightly more money – it seems the midfielder has already chosen the direction he wants to go.

Unless another top European club suddenly changes the picture, Atletico Madrid now appear to be in an extremely strong position.

Dynamo Dresden midfielder Kofi Amoako is tempted to join leeds united This summer, the German side are expected to make a very attractive offer for him.

saxon newspaper Report on the 21-year-old today. The newspaper says that a queue of suitors has started to form for Amoako and Leeds are also among them.

Leeds players ‘in their sights’

It has been reported that there will be significant changes to the Dynamo squad during the summer window. Work is already underway to do this.

Sports director Soren Gonther has been responsible since January 1st. He said earlier in March: “We have prepared for transfers that we can make if we remain in the second division. But there are also players we are considering who we consider suitable for both leagues.”

“It’s difficult to predict how much will change. But definitely, the team will change.”

One name that has been discussed ‘particularly frequently’ in recent times is Kofi Amoako. The list of parties reportedly interested in him is growing. 1. FC Köln, Hamburger SV, Union Berlin, and FSV Mainz 05 from the 1. Bundesliga have now expressed interest.

Italian first-division club US Lecce had already snapped up the defensive midfielder during the January transfer window.

Leeds United offer attractive sum

It has also been reported that the Leeds defensive midfielder is ‘in their sights’. A potential transfer fee in the ‘low seven-figure range’ has been contemplated. This would be a very attractive sum for Dynamo this summer.

A move to Elland Road would also be attractive for the player. He is reportedly less than happy with his role as a super sub this season. He wants to finish the season and look at his options. This gives Leeds the opportunity to make their move if they wish.

Dresden, for its part, would like to keep him. “We made him a solid offer,” Gonther explained, “and we would be very happy if we could move forward on this path together.”

But a Premier League offer, which would be attractive to the player and attractive to the club, may be hard to resist from all sides.

leeds united And Coventry City have Juventus’ Lois Openda on their transfer radar for the summer.

On 16 April, Game Witness Covered claims from Italy The striker is attracting interest from Leeds United.

At the end of that month, we broadcast news Further supporting the Whites’ interest in the 26-year-old. Daniel Farke’s side are not alone as Coventry City are also involved.

The Sky Blues have secured promotion to the top flight by winning the Championship and will look to improve Frank Lampard’s side in the next window.

Last week, Sports Witness Covered Claims Coventry City are making contact with the Serie A side for Openda.

Promotion for Leeds United and Coventry City

Last summer, Juventus took the Belgium international on loan from RB Leipzig with a conditional obligation to buy.

TuttoMercatoWeb Report that the conditions to purchase it were met less than a month ago. The Old Lady will have to pay Leipzig €40.5m, in addition to an initial €3.3m loan fee.

This feat has already proven completely disastrous for the Serie A team as he has conceded two goals in 34 matches so far. This includes a goal in his team’s 2–1 win over AS Roma in the league in December.

Lois Openda has struggled consistently this calendar year, which has had a direct impact on his playing time in recent weeks. He will also not be a replacement for Luciano Spalletti next season.

The Turin club is trying to get rid of him, but is unable to recoup the fee invested to purchase him, even after removing the fees paid. Therefore, a loan move seems inevitable as it would help improve his value and get him regular minutes next season.

Leeds United and Coventry City have already shown interest in the frontman. Juve’s latest move provides these two English clubs with a great opportunity to sign him.

Our Opinion: PL move could be beneficial

It is clear that Lois Openda will hardly have a future at Juventus, and a summer exit is the best option for him.

He may consider a move to the Premier League, where the Whites and Frank Lampard’s team are his supporters.

This would be a loan deal, possibly with a purchase option rather than an obligation. It’s worth the gamble for Leeds United and the Championship winners, especially given how they performed in Leipzig.

leeds united Marseille are among the clubs chasing Bilal Nadir ahead of the summer.

The midfielder’s contract expires in June, which would allow him to leave the Ligue 1 team on a free.

On 22 April, Game Witness broadcast news Leeds United are set to sign him for free.

The 22-year-old came close to agreeing a new contract, but there have been a number of changes at the club.

Roberto De Zerbi and president Pablo Longoria have both left Marseille and sporting director Medhi Benatia will leave after this season.

Leeds United and its supporters promote

Africa Foot Report Bilal Nadir has decided to leave the French club as a free agent.

He is attracting interest from European clubs and both the player and his entourage want to take advantage of this.

RC Strasbourg are keeping a close eye on the France-born Morocco U23 international. From Spain, Verona are paying attention and monitoring his situation. Villarreal also have a midfielder on their list.

Leeds United from England are the interested party. The report adds that Daniel Farke’s side have positioned themselves to secure his services, using their financial strength and the appeal of the Premier League.

His squad want a net salary of €1.2m per year and a signing bonus of €2.5m, and the Elland Road club should be able to meet their demand.

Sports project is also an important factor. The player wants a project where he can enjoy regular games and play an important role in the team.

There is a ‘tug of war’ going on between the Whites and other clubs for a free signing, and there is no mention of their preference between the four contenders.

Nadri stats and value

The Moroccan has played 862 minutes in 28 matches this season, scoring one goal and five assists.

Bilal Nadir has been out of action since April 19 due to a hamstring injury. His playing time has been limited due to three separate injuries, causing him to miss seven games this season.

transfer market He is valued at €9 million, but Leeds United or another club could sign him for free in the summer.

of leeds united The long-running pursuit of Hidemasa Morita is now moving towards a concrete result, with the midfielder’s position strongly pointing towards a summer move – provided one key condition is met.

The Sporting CP player is on Leeds’ radar for 2025. At the time, the club had assessed a deal but backed out. The fee, estimated at around €10 million (£8.7 million), and concerns over fitness made the move difficult to justify.

Twelve months later, the same deal looks very different. Morita is now approaching the end of his contract and is expected to Skip to free transfer.

As we recently coveredSports fans are pleading for him to stop. His form has improved, his availability has been more consistent and he has become one of their most important players this season.

However, what has changed most is the level of clarity around the move.

Now move forward gathering real speed

As reported by Portuguese outlet to ballHidemasa Morita’s departure from Sporting is considered almost certain, with the midfielder having already decided not to renew his contract. “Leeds road tolls continue to decline”His latest piece says.

More importantly, the Japan international has made it clear that he wants to play in the Premier League and, importantly, that it is a condition rather than a priority.

He has indicated that he is only Interested in moving to England’s top flightShaping the entire conversation around that need.

Leeds are currently in a strong position to secure it, and that fixture strengthens their hand. Instead, the rest of the deal aligns naturally.

The club has maintained interest in it since last summer and it is again being ranked as the most likely destination. Contrary to previous reports, the move is now described as very advanced, suggesting that discussions have moved beyond simple surveillance.

Farc effect and strategic fit

Another important development is the role of Daniel Farke in this process.

The Leeds United manager is understood to be a driving force behind the interest. His intention to create a more possession-based midfield has influenced recruitment thinking, and Morita is seen as a player who fits that profile.

His ability to operate as both a No. 6 and No. 8 adds to that appeal. Although he is not a high-output player in terms of goals, his strengths lie in positional play, control and balance.

The scenario now is a free transfer, a player eager to make the move, a manager who wants him, and a club that is already familiar with his profile.

So the deal that Leeds once walked away from now looks like they are ready to complete.

Dynamo Dresden’s Kofi Amoako has emerged as a new target leeds united Beyond the summer window.

The defensive midfielder joined the second division German club from VfL Wolfsburg in July 2025.

Before that, witness the game Covered claims from Germany Chelsea’s interest in the 20-year-old player. However, the Blues made no solid progress a year ago and Leeds United are now their latest partners from England.

His league statistics per game this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 30
• Total minutes played: 2,086

What would it mean for Leeds United to enter the war ‘Significant increase in transfer fees’ For Dynamo Dresden.

So far, a fee of around €2m has been quoted, but this is now likely to rise. In the last window, third division German team Hansa Rostock sold Ryan Naderi to Rangers for €6m. Using this transfer as an example, Bild points out that the money involved is on a ‘completely different scale’ to that in the UK.

In other words, Dynamo Dresden may be able to collect more than €2m for Amoako as Leeds United have now joined the fray.

Wolfsburg, which collected €200,000 last year, will receive 10% of the profits from its sale.

leeds united have options

transfer market Kofi Amoako is worth €2m. The Elland Road club are ‘keen’ to sign him, but he is not the only defensive midfielder on their agenda.

On March 21, Khel Sakshi Covered claims from Portugal Hidemasa Morita is likely to join Leeds United. The Whites wanted him last summer and offered €10m, but he did not leave Sporting.

The Japanese defensive midfielder’s contract expires in June and he could be free in the summer.

Morita, 30, has experience playing at the highest level and, unlike Amoako, he will not need much time to adapt. Daniel Farke’s side want a new defensive midfielder and have options to choose from.

leeds unitedSebastian Bornou did not enjoy good performances in his first season in the Premier League.

The Belgian player moved to Germany when 1. FC Köln signed him from Anderlecht in August 2019. He spent two years with them and moved to VfL Wolfsburg in 2021.

His performances for Wolfsburg convinced Leeds United to spend around €6m in July 2025.

However, the centre-back has not performed well under Daniel Farke and has made only four Premier League starts.

His league statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 9
• Start: 4
• Total minutes played: 215
• Minutes per game: 35

The 27-year-old’s last Premier League appearance was in a 2–2 draw against Chelsea on 10 February. Since then, he has made three appearances for the Whites in the FA Cup.

Back in January, FC Köln Vice President Ulf Sobek indicated His side were ready to wait for the defender in the winter market. However, he is still at Elland Road but that could change in the summer.

Today’s report Comments from the Feyenoord manager in 1908 Today about the 27-year-old striker. He is not sure Ueda will stay in the Netherlands this summer.

leeds united and tottenham circling

Ayase Ueda has been impressing for the Netherlands this season, with 25 goals in 29 games so far in the Eredivisie.

The Japanese striker is on his way to winning the Golden Boot and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Reports in England this week suggest that both Leeds and Tottenham have the striker on their radar. Both clubs are reportedly ready to approach the Dutch club for the attacker in the summer.

Those reports have, naturally, reached the Netherlands. And the question of the striker’s future was put to Van Persie ahead of the clash with Fortuna Sittard. He was clear about his priorities but was not confident about Ueda’s retention.

“From my perspective, I hope he’s there next year. He’s extremely important for us and our style of play,” he said.

“He started very well, then had a somewhat weak period, and we talked about that as well. It’s good to see him bounce back from that; it says a lot about his character as well.”

“From his point of view, it might be a good time to make a move, but it’s not up to me. I don’t know if it’s realistic or not, but like I said: I hope he stays.”

leeds or tottenham?

Given his impressive displays for Feyenoord, Leeds and Tottenham are unlikely to be the only side in the mix for Ayase Ueda this summer.

He will definitely wait to see what options are available to him before making any major decisions. After all, Tottenham cannot become a Premier League team until the transfer is resolved.

Van Persie’s latest comments certainly sound like a manager who is expecting something to happen somehow, even if he would rather it not happen.

of leeds united Ilya Gruev says he is very happy at the Premier League club and is not thinking about leaving them.

The 25-year-old arrived at Elland Road from Werder Bremen in August 2023 and has made 86 appearances for Leeds United so far.

Daniel Farke convinced him to join Leeds United

Finally, he talks about how his move to Leeds United shaped up and what his future plans are.

The Bulgaria international said that Daniel Farke’s call up was one of the main reasons for his joining the Whites, who were in the Championship at the time.

“Of course, this was a time-sensitive move. The transfer window was only open for a few more days. Leeds offered me a clear plan, and the phone call with Daniel was very promising. He showed me what kind of project was being developed at Leeds,” He said.

“And then, there was the dream of playing in the Premier League with a club full of tradition like Leeds. Looking back, it was a very good decision, and everything fell into place perfectly.

“This move was not at all easy for me, because I played for Werder for eight years. I was promoted with Werder and played my first Bundesliga season. But I was ready for a new challenge, and when the offer came from Leeds, it was a very exciting opportunity.”

The player has no plans to leave Leeds United in the summer and has opened up about his long-term plans.

“I feel very comfortable here and see how the club is developing. The long-term plan is to become a top 10 team in the Premier League.” Gruev explained.

“If you can be part of that journey as a player and compete against the elite every week, that’s an absolute success. Fans also look at which players have been with the club for how long. They’re happy with the guys who have been there from the beginning.”

leeds united’s remaining matches this season

Daniel Farke’s side are 15th in the table, eight points ahead of 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

leeds united Defender Maximilian Wobber has not given up hopes of playing at the World Cup, despite making one appearance all season on loan at Werder Bremen.

BILD reports that the 28-year-old Still dreaming of going to the World Cup with Austria.

And, as ridiculous as it may sound, Ralph Rangnick has given him hope.

injury nightmare

Maximilian Wobber left Leeds United on loan in the summer in a bid to get his career back on track. He managed only nine appearances for Leeds totaling 395 minutes last season due to knee surgery in September and again in February.

Returning to Germany with Werder was supposed to provide a fresh start. Instead, it has been a continuation of suffering.

To date he has made one appearance for the Germans, totaling 79 minutes, and that was in the DFB-Pokal in August. He has not made an appearance in the Bundesliga. In fact, the best he has managed is two appearances on the bench.

This is because he has been sidelined due to tearing of muscle bundles and muscle fibers associated with tendon damage.

Austria hopes

But he is now on the comeback trail, recently appearing in the U23 games at the weekend. This has seen him play one half as he looks to build up his fitness.

“Max still wants to take part in the World Cup. He needs playing time to get into his rhythm.” Coach Daniel Thioune explains.

The dream may seem unrealistic, but BILD explain that the Leeds defender ‘remains the subject of discussion’ for Ralf Rangnick. During the international break in March, Rangnick joined them despite his injuries.

“He is someone who has been in the group for a long time and who enriches the group with his personality.” The Austrian coach explained. “For them, it all depends on the healing process.”

This is seen as a sign that even though Maximilian Wobber is not a perfect fit, Rangnick still wants him as a leader in the group. Thus, the focus has been on getting as many minutes as possible before the season ends.

Whether he can do so given his injury record is debatable. But Rangnick has at least provided a carrot for him to chase.

For Leeds United, Wobber’s fitness and participation in the World Cup could help increase summer transfer interest.

leeds united And everton VfL are pursuing Wolfsburg’s Mohamed Amoura ahead of the summer.

The Whites tried to sign the striker in the winter market and Sport Witness broadcast news Interest from Leeds United in January.

It is unclear why Daniel Farke’s team could not complete the operation and are still keen on the striker. Everton have now joined the Elland Road club in the transfer chase.

The Bundesliga side had initially signed the 25-year-old on loan from Royal Union Saint-Gillois until July 2024. He scored 10 goals and 12 assists in his first season, convincing him to make his stay permanent.

This season, Amoura has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 27 matches. His Bundesliga statistics are as follows:

• Appearances: 26
• Start: 21
• Total minutes: 1,782
• Minutes per game: 69
• Expected target: 8.45
• Expected target: 2.48

leeds united and everton keen

White has not forgotten about his January target and now faces competition from Everton.

is according to TeamWho revealed that Leeds United had shown ‘genuine interest’ in January and still retain the deal ahead of the summer window.

David Moyes’s side are also interested and that’s all the newspaper has to say about the Toffees.

VfL Wolfsburg rejected Benfica’s €28m bid for Mohamed Amoura in the last window and are hoping to collect €40m. The Algeria international is now thought to be worth around €30m.

L’Equipe claims the German club are ‘ready to discuss’ his sale after this season.

In short, the front man is expected to change clubs and Leeds United and Everton are among the suitors. There is no mention of his preference in these two clubs.

Our Opinion: Price may fall further

Mohamed Amoura’s contract is until 2029, and transfer market He is worth €27 million. VfL Wolfsburg is now 17th in the table, four points behind 16th-place FC St. Pauli.

There are 18 clubs in the Bundesliga and the bottom two teams will be relegated to the second division. As things stand, Wolfsburg are in danger of relegation.

If this happens then its price is likely to fall further. Leeds United, Everton or any other club could take advantage of this and sign Amoura for less than €30m.

noah okafor shines leeds united Scored two goals against Manchester United on Monday.

Victory at Old Trafford would be of huge importance for the Whites, who are now six points ahead of 18th-placed Tottenham. They will soon take over a struggling London side, but for now they still have some breathing room.

The Swiss attacker, who was brought from AC Milan £18m, now six goals in the campaign. While he has struggled for consistency, Okafor has now scored against Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea, showing how he is a player for the big occasions.

However, this was not entirely true at the Rossoneri. He played 54 times in all competitions for them, scoring seven times. On loan at Napoli, he could never really convince Antonio Conte.

sports witness His move to Elland Road was extensively covered, as Milan showed little hesitation in selling him.

His brace this week is raising eyebrows in Italy, leading many to wonder whether his sale to Leeds United was worth it.

No regrets about the deal

milanlive Note that Noah Okafor has not had a great season. He may have scored big goals against Manchester United, but he feels he has only found his form in recent weeks.

Milan’s instability last season probably affected the Switzerland international. They had two managers in charge in the 2024/25 campaign as they missed out on the Champions League spots.

Despite this, Okafor has no regrets about his sale to Leeds United, and it is believed that a good deal was negotiated.

They explore the argument that the 25-year-old could have contributed more than Christopher Nkunku. But the idea has been shelved as Milan are happy with how much they made from Okafor’s exit by signing him. €14m.

Our Opinion: Milan’s instability affects Okafor

The 2024/25 campaign was quite a strange one for Milan. Almost every player struggled, as both Sergio Conceição and Paulo Fonseca brought out the best in the team.

As a result, the Swiss forward was never able to find his best footing with the Rossoneri. This was in contrast to the 2023/24 campaign, when he was much better under Stefano Pioli.

Milan have struggled in attack this season. Almost all of their attackers have struggled in 2026. Considering this and how they have been a bit more stable under Max Allegri, Okafor could have been quite a useful option.

Leeds United should have no complaints as Daniel Farke is getting a tune-up from the versatile forward.

west ham united And leeds united Stade Rennais are among the Premier League teams pursuing Jaoui Cisse for the summer.

Two months ago, Sports Witness Covered claims from France Leeds United had initiated contact with him to sign him.

Daniel Farke’s side are not alone as West Ham and other clubs are keen to acquire the services of the 22-year-old.

The midfielder came through the ranks of the Ligue 1 side’s youth system and forced his way into their first team in 2024. He has made 38 appearances so far and 22 are from this season.

His Ligue 1 statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 21
• Start: 12
• Total minutes: 959
• Interceptions per game: 0.3
• Tackles per game: 1.5
• Possession won (final third): 0.3
• Balls recovered per game: 2.4
• Clearance per game: 0.2
• Blocked shots per game: 0.2
• Duels won per game: 2.5

Despite his limited number of appearances, he is attracting interest from West Ham, the Whites and other clubs.

The tussle between West Ham and Leeds United

Africa Foot The latest from Nuno Espirito Santo, cover the interest of Leeds United and other Premier League sides in Jaoui Cisse.

Bayer Leverkusen are also keen and are top targets to secure his signature in the next window.

The Bundesliga side have made a move and the Stade Rennais player is in favor of a move to Germany. A permanent transfer is being considered in the summer for a fee between €15m and €20m, including bonuses.

However, Bayer Leverkusen will have to be wary of stiff competition from West Ham and the Elland Road club. The Premier League pair are ‘preparing an offer’, with the report not specifying how much fee they plan to offer.

Aston Villa, Arsenal and Newcastle United are keeping a close eye on the France U21 international.

Our opinion: Loss for West Ham and the Whites

West Ham are 17th in the table, two points above 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur and four points behind 15th-placed Leeds United.

Bayer Leverkusen are fifth in the Bundesliga, 10 points ahead of seventh-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. He is most likely to play in Europe next season given both the Hammers and Whites cannot offer Jooui Cisse.

This gives the German club, who are now in pole, a clear lead over the Premier League pair. Had Arsenal or Aston Villa made solid progress this might not have happened.

Cissé’s contract expires in 2030, and transfer market He is worth €15 million.

leeds united Wrote Premier League history by ending a 45-year winless streak at Old Trafford with a 2-1 win over Manchester United on Monday evening.

Jaka Bijol was one of the key players in the victory, holding firm at centre-back for the 90 minutes against national teammate Benjamin Cesco.

It was a big moment for the 27-year-old, who arrived in the summer Daniel Farke has had to wait to be celebrated this season. Now it appears he has done just that, and big performances at Manchester United will only help.

a strong first half

The 2–1 win came courtesy of a great first-half performance, in which Leeds United applied high and sustained pressing, causing Manchester United problems.

Farke’s team forced the home side into a number of mistakes, allowing Noah Okafor to score twice in the first half hour, giving Leeds United a strong position at half-time.

Jaka Bijol was certainly impressed, admitting he took advantage of Manchester United’s recent extended break.

“We played a really good first half,” Slovenia’s AKIPA quoted him as saying.

“On the other hand, United had not played for 25 days, which is probably a little noticeable, because the training sessions are not the same. This time we were right, it is an important win for us, important three points.”

slovenia conflict

The key to the win was keeping Benjamin Cesco calm throughout the game. This was a task at which Jaka Bijol was particularly skilled.

While the Slovenian striker was a threat, he only really came close to getting his name on the scoresheet once. Leeds United goalkeeper Carl Darlow dealt with it well.

Bijol knew what he needed to do to ensure that his international teammate did not get the better of him.

“Benny also had a good chance, if he had scored then maybe we would have talked a little differently,” He added.

“But football is like that, sometimes he gives you, sometimes he takes a little away from you. Sometimes it’s better not to jump with Benny, because when he jumps, sometimes I can only see a shadow (laughs).

“I think we played really smart, we just suffered a little bit unnecessarily in the second half. But maybe that’s why it’s even better.”

‘Subconscious fear at Leeds United’

Leeds United were heading for a more comfortable evening when Lisandro Martínez was sent off in the 56′^th minutes.

Instead, that red card appeared to inspire Manchester United, with Casemiro’s header getting them back into the game in the 69.^th minutes.

The final 20 minutes came alive as Manchester United pushed for an equalizer and Leeds United fell behind. Ultimately, it turned out to be a tactic that worked.

However, it was stressful for Daniel Farke’s side, who have now moved away from the relegation battle. And Jaka Bijol admits that there was an atmosphere of fear.

“We had a top performance on the road, but in the end we lost a lot of points. That’s why this time we had a subconscious fear that we would concede a late goal.” He concluded.

Jack Harrison transfer to Fiorentina leeds united Surprised many people. The Englishman is now certain to stay in Italy beyond the season if the decision is his.

The winger’s transfer was covered extensively sports witness In January. La Viola, who was fighting against demotion at the time, added an option to buy to the loan deal.

In the beginning, Harrison did not do as much as he wanted to. But he has provided assists in each of the last two matches, contributing to the decisive goals in 1-0 wins over Verona and Lazio.

This could have huge significance for Fiorentina this season, who now find themselves 15th in the table.

At one point, the Italian press seemed confident that Harrison would return to Leeds, however, recent form is likely to change that stance.

The player himself has now expressed his desire to stay at Fiorentina.

Harrison hints at permanent deal

After the win over Lazio on Monday, the winger spoke to the press about his situation at Fiorentina.

He made it clear that he loves this city and wants to create an even bigger identity in it.

Harrison said- via Laviola: : “I loved it here, I’m really happy with this experience. I love the people, I love the city. it’s a great place. We’ll see about the future, but I try my best on the field to prove my worth.“

He also indicated his desire to keep improving and helping Fiorentina.

“I’m working hard to improve. In this match, like in the previous matches, I had some chances. But the important thing is to win, get three points and help the team get out of this difficult period. If I score, it’s great. The coach always asks me to score.“

Furthermore, the 29-year-old expressed confidence in what he brings to the Serie A team. He also seemed happy with this effect.

“I brought intensity, pressure, everything I could bring. Vanoli appreciated it. I know how important this phase of attack and defense is“

Our opinion: A permanent deal more likely than a few weeks ago

Jack Harrison has ignored the outside noise and worked hard to change things. For this and for making significant contributions when the game needed it, he deserves credit.

Fiorentina’s survival should also increase his chances of leaving Leeds United permanently. Demotion would have meant financial disaster, but now, they should have enough money to exercise Option to buy for €7m.

Ideally all parties involved should be satisfied. The Whites would take the winger off their books and use it to sign other, youth team players.

According to the report, they aim to collect around €25m from its sale in order to ‘record healthy capital gains’.

It seems that the defender’s price and next possible destination have been determined, and it now remains to be seen which club will secure his services in the next window.

Contract, price and agent information

Last July, Federico Gatti signed a new contract with Juventus until 2030, and as per his value, transfer marketIs €16m. The highest was €25m in October 2024.

Agency One Players agents are representing the Italian defender.

of leeds united Maximilian Wobber is struggling while on loan at Werder Bremen.

The Premier League side let the Austria international join Borussia Mönchengladbach on loan in July 2023. Gladbach did not extend his stay and the defender returned to Leeds United.

They played under the orders of Daniel Farke in the Championship last season, but were relegated upon their return to the top flight.

Last summer, the 28-year-old joined Werder Bremen on loan with an option to buy and the move was a disaster.

Wobber made his Werder Bremen debut in a DFB-Pokal defeat to Arminia Bielefeld in August. He played 79 minutes and had to leave the field with a hamstring injury.

The setback forced him to spend the rest of last year on the sidelines. In January, he took part in a friendly against FC St. Pauli and suffered another setback.

On 9 March, the player became owned by Leeds United Confirmed muscle tear This year he is being kept away from action. In short, he has not made any official appearances since August.

Werder Bremen’s stance on Leeds United man

deich stubeA website that dedicates its coverage to the Bundesliga side, talks about the purchase option.

Due to injuries to Maximilian Wobber, it is ‘highly unlikely’ for Werder Bremen to extend his stay beyond this season. The outlet has also interviewed Werder Bremen sporting director Clemens Fritz.

When the white man was asked about his future apart from his debt, he said: “We haven’t discussed yet what will happen in the summer.”

Last season, the defender played 395 minutes in nine matches for Leeds United. The German club were aware of the gamble of signing him on loan and their plan ‘doesn’t even come close to working yet.’

The director hopes to see the player in action before the end of this season.

“We will gradually increase his workload and hope he can still play for us this season. He is not yet a substitute for the game in Cologne [on Sunday]” Fritz explained.

What’s next for the Leeds United defender?

As things stand, Werder Bremen are highly unlikely to extend the Austrian’s stay.

In the summer, Maximilian Wobber will return to Elland Road, where he has a contract until 2027. transfer market He is worth €3 million.

The next window will be Leeds United’s last chance to achieve his sale.

leeds united Just watched Lucas Perry drag them up to Wembley. However, that doesn’t seem to have resolved the wider issue regarding the Brazilian goalkeeper’s place in Daniel Farke’s plans just yet.

The 27-year-old was the hero against West Ham United on Sunday, saving two penalties as Leeds United reached the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since the 1986-87 season. This was after a 2–2 draw and a 4–2 shootout win. The reward is a semi-final against Chelsea later this month.

That is why Brazil’s latest claims deserve attention. Even if it looks more like market noise than anything advanced at present, it still remains remarkable.

local journalist george nicola Perry is said to be frustrated with his situation at Leeds after arriving expecting to become the first-choice goalkeeper. Instead, he now finds himself largely restricted to cup matches.

There is enough going on around Leeds United to make that claim credible. Perry started the season as the expected number one – and he was loving it. The Premier League had already earmarked him as a potential first-choice move to Elland Road ahead of the campaign.

However, Karl Darlow has taken over the league. Perry have been relegated to the margins while mainly maintaining their place in the FA Cup.

League place is the issue now

Lucas Perry’s basic statistics help explain why this has become a topic of discussion. TransferMarket lists him with 16 Premier League appearances and two FA Cup games this season. However, he has not been a regular league starter for some time. Since being dropped he has made only two starts, both in the FA Cup.

This matters because the Brazilian angle in Nikola’s report is also easy to understand. Perry has already entered the national team picture. A goalkeeper sitting on the bench in league action will always feel vulnerable when the World Cup-related competition starts to heat up. He wants more call-ups in the future.

Now, homecoming is being viewed positively in the player’s camp. This happened after he suffered “A Terrible Fall From Grace” At leeds united.

Stressing that regular football and a leading role will help him rebuild his momentum, Perry believes he could be closer to the Brazil team picture if he was playing consistently in his home country. Brazilian clubs are said to be already monitoring the situation.

Move background and what comes next

Leeds United paid Lyon a fixed €16m (£14.0m) for Lucas Perry, with a possible bonus of an additional €2m (£1.6). This is according to reports from the official French side of the deal.

So Leeds have a goalkeeper who has provided one of their biggest cup moments in decades. Yet the broader picture still suggests that he is second in the league.

Nikola’s information should be treated with caution for now, as there is no sign of a formal move or concrete exit process yet.

Still, the situation is becoming easier to read. If Perry believes regular football is essential to his Brazil hopes, and if those around him are starting to view a move back to Brazil as a realistic solution, then Leeds may have to make a decision sooner than expected.

Right now, Brazilian clubs are only watching, but a goalkeeper signed for €16m (£14.0m) and thrust out of the league prominence will naturally attract attention.

Brighton and Hove Albion are once again working on the development path of Facundo Buonanot, with the midfielder – who is now at Leeds United and struggling – continuing to move between clubs as he builds experience in English football.

The 21-year-old moved to Leeds United in January after a brief spell back at Brighton from Chelsea. That sequence alone shows how the Seagals are handling him – carefully, but without assigning him a definite role yet.

His transfer to Chelsea last summer came somewhat unexpectedly. “When a big club like Chelsea comes, you can’t say no.”, He later revealed. But despite taking steps forward, he struggled to establish himself.

In the Premier League, he played only 45 minutes, with the majority of his involvements coming in cup competitions. There too, his influence remained limited, ending with only minor contributions.

The lack of rhythm has led them to their current position. Since arriving at Leeds United, Buonote has made only a handful of appearances and has yet to register a goal or assist. Once again, he finds himself adapting to a new environment rather than continuing to perform.

This stop-start trajectory is at odds with Brighton’s usual development model and raises questions about when, or where, he will eventually settle into a defined role.

South American interest emerges

Facundo Buonote’s next step is now being discussed outside England also.

River Plate is preparing itself for a move by manager Eduardo Coudet. Argentina’s coach knows the player and has already put his name forward internally, recognizing him as a creative option who can influence matches.

According to local journalist Mauro PalaciosI am speaking shredded tvThe interest is already pretty solid.

“River is going to enter the next transfer window for Facundo Buonote. He is 21 years old, and Coudet knows him. He belongs to an English club – Brighton”He said.

Coudet actually worked with him during his youth academy days at Rosario Central. And the reason behind that push was also explained, with a clear focus on her profile.

“He’s an attacking midfielder, a different kind of player. He’s a player who has goals, a guy who can win you games.”

There is also a deadline in mind, even if talks do not move forward immediately this summer.

“If it’s not in the middle of the year, he’s the player the Coudettes are waiting for at the end of the year.”

brighton remain in control

Facundo Buonanotte remains tied to Brighton until 2030, putting the Premier League club in a strong position.

They initially paid €6m (£5.2m) to sign him from Rosario Central in 2023, and his value has increased through consistent performances in England. Although their numbers are not explosive, they show progress and adaptability to multiple environments.

Given Brighton’s track record, another loan is more likely than a permanent sale at this stage. The club focuses on maximizing development before making definitive decisions on a player’s long-term role or transfer price.

Given how his spell at Leeds United has gone so far, Elland Road does not look to be a permanent home for Buonanotte.

River Plate’s interest adds a new layer to the situation, especially given Buonanot’s Argentine background. Nevertheless, any move will depend on Brighton’s wider strategy.

For now, the focus remains on leads and finishing the season strongly. What happens next will be decided on the south coast.

Leeds United, Southampton and Watford are in talks to sign Paris FC’s Ilan Kebble in the summer.

The winger initially joined the Ligue 1 side on loan from Stade de Reims in September 2022 and completed a permanent move a year later.

At Paris FC, he has primarily operated as an attacking midfielder and a winger and has scored 25 goals and 30 assists in 125 appearances. In 2024, Sport Witness broadcast news The Whites attempted to sign him but a move never materialised.

Daniel Farke’s side have rekindled their interest while Southampton and Watford have now joined the transfer race.

The Algeria international has scored eight goals and provided five assists in 25 appearances this season. This contributed to 13 goals in 25 matches, which is an impressive return.

His Ligue 1 statistics this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 23
• Start: 23
• Expected target: 5.63
• Expected Support: 4.77
• Big chances created: 6
• Key passes per game: 2.0
• Goal conversion: 16%

Ilan Kebbel’s performances for Paris FC did not go unnoticed in France and England.

is according to Africa FootJoe covers Leeds United, Southampton and Watford while reporting the latest on Marseille.

The Ligue 1 side have watched him in previous windows and continue to keep a close eye. As of now, Marseille is in top spot ahead of the Premier League team, the Championship pair and Stade Rennais.

Stade Rennais have expressed interest in the 27-year-old, who is also attracting interest from the Whites, Southampton and the Hornets.

The three English clubs have not yet made an official approach, but they could make a move as we get closer to the summer window.

Kebble is set to change clubs after this season and is looking for an ambitious sporting project. This would give Marseille an edge over other clubs, also because he is not opposed to joining another French club.

However, a ‘significant financial offer’ from Leeds United, Southampton or Watford could change the dynamic.

Valencia’s plans for next season have hit a wall; Leeds United are ‘highly unlikely’ to sign Larghi Ramadani on a permanent basis.

Report on Estadio Deportivo Forward today. It appears that Valencia are raising the white flag on keeping the 25-year-old from Leeds United at the end of his loan spell.

The newspaper reports that while the Mestalla club would love to keep Ramazani beyond the expiration of his loan, reality is beginning to bite; He is becoming increasingly out of reach.

effect of ramadan

The Belgian winger has been one of Valencia’s brightest players in the second half of this season, scoring five goals and two assists in 22 games despite playing less than 1,000 minutes.

His pace, direct running and ability to unlock defenses have made him a key player in recent weeks. Both Valencia and the players are happy with the arrangement after a slow start.

But praise alone will not be enough to secure a permanent deal. In fact, the demands of the leads are a big problem.

leeds united asking price

Larghi Ramazani is linked with Leeds United until 2028, and the Premier League side have no intention of letting him leave unless an ‘extraordinary’ offer is made. He is currently worth €8m.

Valencia haven’t paid that much on a single player for years. This summer they spent €16.5 million on signings, but only after bringing in €26.13 million in sales. His highest fee was €5m for Omar Sadiq.

Their top signing last season was €1.2 million, with loan signing Sadiq also having the same figure. Last year the top fee was €5m.

You would have to go back to the €8m signing of Andre Almeida in 2022/23 to match Ramazani’s current value. And it seems Leeds United want more than that anyway. This matches up with a recent report indicating that they are planning on using him next season.

Either way, a permanent move to Valencia is now seen as ‘highly complicated’ and ‘highly unlikely’ to happen this summer.

Leeds United forward Noah Okafor and Sunderland star Granit Xhaka have been left out of Switzerland’s squad to take on Norway due to injury concerns.

Blick report that Xhaka and Okafor As a precaution, both have been left out of the team for tonight’s friendly match with Norway.

According to his information, both of them have been removed as a precautionary measure after being injured.

The decision to exclude players from Leeds and Sunderland was made in consultation with the players and coaching staff. There were concerns about both of them, who are ‘returning from injury’. Switzerland has also decided not to take the risk.

zaka management

Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka was doubtful to play this evening after missing training on Monday. Sport Witness covered his absence in a report yesterday afternoon.

It also included comments from Switzerland manager Murat Yakin on the matter. “He is showing the effects of the high workload. He can’t start games,” Yakin told reporters.

This potentially left the door open for a substitute appearance. Xhaka played 45 minutes in last week’s friendly match with Germany Yakin insisted that they would be careful With the Sunderland midfielder during this international break.

okafor concern

Meanwhile, Noah OkaforWas given ‘doubtful’ status In a report today for the game against Norway.

It turns out the Leeds forward played an innings during training with the Switzerland team this week.

He was scheduled to be a substitute in the defeat to Germany, but was ruled out after suffering an injury in the warm-up.

It was a huge blow for the Leeds forward, who had been working for a month to get back into his country’s good books. It had already subsided due to injury and now it has happened again.

Sunderland and leeds are watching

Sunderland and Leeds will be watching with interest. The former players will surely be pleased that their star player has not been put at risk due to his recent return from injury.

If the Black Cats are to finish the season strongly they will need Xhaka fit and firing. Losing that friendship for a long time would have been a huge blow.

The same can be said for leads. They need Okafor fit and ready to help them in their fight against the decline. After another injury, putting him at further risk doesn’t help the cause.

Leeds United’s Noah Okafor is uncertain whether he will play in Switzerland’s friendly against Norway on Tuesday.

Premier League side invest £18 million [€20.7m] The winger was signed from AC Milan last August and has four goals and one assist in his first season in England.

His performances for Leeds United were not enough to earn him a place in Switzerland manager Murat Yakin’s squad. In fact, he last made an appearance for his country in November 2024.

Last October, Sports Witness broadcast news He had a misunderstanding with the coach during Euro 2024. Questions were raised about his attitude and efforts during the tournament.

After not making the team in November, White publicly attacked Yakin and the national team director, Pierluigi Tammi.

Yakin and Tammy traveled to England in February to speak directly with Okafor. East opened the door He returned to his national team in March, before a stroke ruled him out.

The player returned to the field in Leeds United’s goalless draw against Brentford before the international break. Last week, Yakin called late include him In the team for two matches this month. Originally, it was thought that Okafor would miss the match due to fitness problems, but he ended up making it.

leeds united player doubtful

Tuesday’s edition of new zurich newspaper A preview of Switzerland’s friendly against Norway later today.

Noah Okafor was an unused substitute in last week’s 4-3 friendly defeat to Germany. The newspaper now reports that the plan was for him to get some minutes against Die Mannschaft.

However, this was not possible as he suffered an injury during the warm-up. It is unclear whether the Leeds United player has recovered from the defeat as his participation against Norway is now “doubtful”.

In other words, the former AC Milan player is doubtful to play for his country for the first time in 15 months. It’s another cruel twist of fate for Okafor and he could be forgiven for feeling that his partnership with Switzerland is somewhat doomed if he’s not ready.

The situation will not please Leeds United

Noah Okafor’s latest fitness status will be a matter of concern for Daniel Farke and his team.

The manager will hope that the attacker’s injury is not serious and that he will be fully fit upon returning to the club. Leeds United will face West Ham United in the FA Cup quarter-finals after the international break.

He was not 100% fit until the international break, and that theme continues.

Leeds United have a clear opportunity to sign Hidemasa Morita, as the midfielder’s position has now moved much closer to the club’s expectations from last year.

Sporting CP player is on Leeds United’s radar from 2025. At the time, a move was considered but ultimately rejected. The asking price of around €10 million (£8.7 million), coupled with doubts over his fitness, made the deal difficult to justify.

Twelve months later, both of those obstacles have disappeared.

Morita is now approaching the end of his contract and is expected to leave Sporting this summer. That single-handedly changes the financial equation. However, there has also been a massive change in how his position is viewed by both players and the market.

Exit is now considered inevitable

Sporting are already Planning for life without Morita. The club’s midfield is set for major changes next season, with several departures expected and internal solutions being developed.

Morita’s case is the clearest. He has long indicated that he would not renew his contract, and his exit is now considered internally certain. This clarity allows the club to move forward with succession plans rather than attempting to extend his stay.

At the same time, the player’s own priorities have not changed. Moving to the Premier League has been a long-standing ambition of his, dating back to his early career in Japan.

That ambition is now hitting the right contractual moment.

Conditions are now favorable for a move to Leeds United

Hidemasa Morita’s situation looks very different compared to last summer. Financial risk has been removedAnd concerns over his physical condition have subsided during the current season.

This is where Leeds United enter the picture again in a more meaningful way.

The club had already done the groundwork on the player. They were aware of his profile, his role at Sporting and his suitability for English football. What stopped them at first wasn’t a lack of interest, but the structure of the overall deal.

Now, with Morita available on a free transfer and showing greater physical reliability, the same move carries far less risk.

portuguese newspaper to ball Insist that interest from Leeds United remains and a move is looking increasingly likely, with the midfielder pushing to fulfill his long-held ‘dream’ of playing in the Premier League.

An agreement that is now equal for all parties

The situation has developed such that all elements are pointing in the same direction.

Sporting is ready to move on. Morita is determined to take the next step in his career. There is already interest from Leeds and now he faces a much more favorable deal.

There is still time for the window to open and other clubs to emerge. External factors, including international performance ahead of the 2026 World Cup, could also influence the market.

Still, this is no longer the uncertain scenario it used to be. What Leeds United previously rejected now appears to be an opportunity of new size – and one that may be too hard to ignore.

Jack Harrison’s move to Fiorentina on loan from Leeds United in January was seen as a big opportunity for the player. Things have gone quite wrong since then, with the player failing to impress.

sports witness The deal was largely covered as La Viola were in desperate need of a new attacking player during their battle with relegation.

While there was a bright spot at the start of the Englishman’s tenure, he has struggled since then. He has started four games and came off the bench twice. Despite the confidence shown by Paolo Vanoli, he has not impacted Fiorentina’s games as much as expected.

Florence club has the option to buy the Leeds United player €7m and it is unlikely it will be used.

Confidence about Elland Road return

corriere dello sport Reports on Fiorentina’s summer deal, it appears certain that Manor Solomon will be signed permanently from Tottenham. Even though he has faced fitness problems, there is no doubt about his abilities.

There is now very little chance of a permanent deal for Jack Harrison. Even though La Viola won’t cost Leeds United much, the 29-year-old hasn’t performed well enough in the past few weeks. Fabio Paratici, who was key in bringing him to Florence, has also not been impressed with his performance.

Furthermore, from Fiorentina’s perspective Harrison is costing a significant sum for the second half of the season. His performance does not justify that salary.

Now, only a major change of heart from Fiorentina could increase the Englishman’s chances of staying in Italy. The newspaper is confident he will return to Leeds United at the end of the campaign.

Our opinion: Leeds should find a lover in England

It wouldn’t be a surprise if Harrison contributes some goals for Fiorentina, mainly because he will likely play a few games. This would not guarantee his stay in Florence.

That’s why Leeds United should already start looking for new clubs for the player. Harrison may still have a market in England due to how well he performed under Marcelo Bielsa. Furthermore, English clubs would also be in a position to pay more for the player.

Harrison’s playing style has always relied heavily on distance passing and running. This is why he proved so successful under Bielsa. Those qualities are more valued in England than in Italy, where players are expected to be more technical and creative than physically strong.

Borussia Dortmund’s Daniel Svensson has been asked about the interest shown by a number of clubs including Arsenal and Leeds United.

The Sweden international initially moved to BVB on loan from FC Nordsjælland in February 2025. The Bundesliga side made his stay permanent by using the buyout clause later that year.

Prior to his permanent transfer to Borussia Dortmund, Nottingham Forest had shown serious interest. Fast forward to 2026 and Arsenal and Leeds United have emerged as their new suitors from England.

At the German club, he primarily operates as a left wing-back and has scored six goals and six assists in 60 appearances. This includes four goals and two assists in 39 matches this season.

His Bundesliga statistics per game for this season are as follows:

• Main Street: 1.1
• Intercept: 0.7
• Tackle: 1.2
• possession won [final third]: 0.3
• Clearance: 2.4
• Ball recovered: 2.7
• Duel won: 3.1

His performances may have been noticed by Arsenal, Leeds United, Real Madrid and many other clubs.

Arsenal and Leeds United respond to links

Last month, Sports Witness Covered claims from Germany That both Arsenal and Daniel Farke are pursuing him. Bild said that Leeds United are particularly keen to acquire his services in the summer.

Daniel Svensson is currently with Sweden for the ongoing international break, and it delivered soccer channel Opportunity to interact with him. Last week, he came off the bench in Sweden’s 3–1 win over Ukraine in a World Cup qualifier.

The first part of the interview is about this clash, and the rest is on BVB and transfer links.

As things stand, he doesn’t want to change clubs after this season.

“No, I wouldn’t say that. I’m really happy at Dortmund. I haven’t been there that long. I feel like I have a lot more to do there. I’m really happy to be there.” He said.

Expressen recently said that Real Madrid scouts had seen him playing for Borussia Dortmund, but he was not aware of it.

“To be honest, I haven’t heard anything about it. I don’t have anything to say about it. Because I don’t know anything about it. It’s not something I’m thinking about. But obviously it’s fun.” Swenson explained.

Fotbollskanalen specifically points to Bild’s reports on Arsenal and Leeds United and asks if a summer move is on the cards.

“I’m just focused on Dortmund. I’m right there and I’m really enjoying it. It’s not something I pay any attention to. We have important games left in the season.” He added.

Sweden fixtures and squad

Daniel Svensson’s immediate focus is on Sweden’s World Cup qualifier against Poland on Tuesday.

Graham Potter’s full team:

Goalkeepers: Christopher Nordfelt, Melker Aalborg, Noel Törnqvist

Leeds United defender Jaka Bijol has insisted he is not saving himself for a Premier League appearance during this international break.

Team Report on the Leeds defender’s comments today. There will be no let-up when Slovenia face Hungary and Montenegro this international break.

They held their final training session in Brdo on Friday morning before flying to Budapest for the game.

Manager asks for rest

Given that both games are friendlies, managers will be expecting limited minutes for all players. This will certainly be the case for Daniel Farke, who needs Bijol to be fit and sacked for the relegation battle.

In fact, this issue has already caused a fight on the Hungarian side. His manager is embroiled in a war of words with Liverpool manager Arne Slott over Dominik Szoboszlai.

However, Bijoll insists that no such discussion took place regarding his minutes.

“We have nothing to discuss about it; it is within the coach’s jurisdiction. He takes decisions about it. We all came with the intention of playing. Nobody came to rest,” He said.

The circumstances have not helped Farke and there is no desire to rest the defender. bijol has been named captain of Slovenia For this international break, his chances of featuring in both the games have increased.

international break sadness

This international break will be somewhat sad for the Leeds defender and his Slovenia teammates after missing out on the World Cup and playoffs.

Like everyone else, he will be watching it too and the 27-year-old admits it is a bit disappointing.

“Yes, it is a bit sad to see all this, but on the other hand you are also happy for them.

“We all know at least a few representatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina and they deserve that. We all work for our goals; we strive to make our dreams come true.”

leeds united priorities

With the World Cup over, Jaka Bijol will probably turn his attention to keeping Leeds in the Premier League.

Recently he has found himself back in the picture after a slow start to life at Elland Road. and currently have 15 with Leeds^th And just four points from the bottom three, they need the best performance from everyone.

However, Bijol is not slowing down during this international break. Despite there being nothing serious on the line, he clearly intends to give it his all.

Everton owners Friedkin Group could face a battle from Leeds United in the race to sign FC Utrecht’s Soufiane El Karouni for AS Roma.

The Friedkin Group owns Everton and Roma and have identified the left-back as a target for the Serie A team.

Leeds United are also in the mix and Everton bosses will have to be wary of the Whites.

The 25-year-old has impressed in defense and attack for the Eredivisie side this season.

To put this in context, he has contributed three goals and 16 assists in 43 minutes in 3,498 matches. He has only featured as a left-back this season, not as a wing-back, and his league statistics are as follows:

• expected goal [per season]: 1.70
• expected assistance [per season]:7.19
• Big chances created: 14
• Interception: 1.0
• Tackle: 2.8
• possession won [final third]: 0.4
• Ball recovered: 4.7
• Duel won: 5.2

The above statistics should be an indication of the Morocco international’s overall game.

The Premier League side have already shown interest in the assist king. Last month, Sports Witness broadcast news LEEDS United could battle West Ham United for his signature. The Hammers wanted him in the winter market but a move never materialized.

Leeds United keen on Morocco

Thursday edition of gazzetta dello sport A report focusing on AS Roma has included the English club’s interest in Soufiane El Karouni.

The Everton owner is working on some potential signings for the Serie A team for next season.

Roma are looking to the Eredivisie for a fullback with the FC Utrecht player a target.

El Karouni’s contract expires in June and this, combined with his performances, makes him even more attractive in the market. Several European clubs, notably Leeds United and Marseille, are keen.

Daniel Farke’s side may be making a strong move to try to bring him to Elland Road.

Why can’t the summer deal be easy for white people?

Gabriel Gudmundsson and Sam Byram are the two recognized left-backs in Daniel Farke’s squad.

Leeds United are now 15th in the table, four points above the relegation zone. Marseille, on the other hand, is third in Ligue 1 and will qualify for Europe. one step towards france [or Roma] Soufiane may be more attractive to El Karouni than joining the Whites.

His status as a free agent will certainly see more clubs join the battle for his signature, and that could prove challenging for the Premier League side.

Suriname manager Henk ten Cate has revealed he has taken a tough stance with Leeds United striker Joel Pirlo over his lack of minutes at Elland Road this season.

VG Sport Cover Ten Cate’s comments today regarding the Leeds striker. He is preparing for his international break with his new nation.

Pirro switched his allegiance to Suriname earlier this year. He was officially called up for the international break last week.

The Leeds United player could now be ready for the World Cup this summer. Undoubtedly, that tournament is a major motivation behind the change of allegiance.

Disappointing leeds united season

The added motivation will be especially true after a disappointing season with Leeds United. Joel Pirlo was one of their star men as they were promoted last season. He also has 74 goals in the Championship over four seasons with Leeds and Swansea City.

However, life in the Premier League has been difficult. He is yet to score in the league and has only managed 217 minutes in total as Dominic Calvert-Lewin has established himself as the number one under Daniel Farke.

Pirlo had to watch the match from the sidelines, but he made an impact by scoring two goals in the FA Cup win over Norwich City two weeks earlier.

Lack of minutes isn’t a concern for Ten Kate. But still he has issued a warning to the Leeds United striker.

“He doesn’t play regularly for Leeds but is at the highest level club,” He said.

“The English league is by far the strongest in the world. It could be that you sit on the bench. I’ve told Joel he has to work really hard.

“When the opportunity comes, you have to take it. He did that against Norwich. He played a very good game and scored an important goal.”

summer decision needed

Fortunately for Joel Pirlo, a lack of minutes for Leeds United this summer is unlikely to harm his chances of going to the World Cup.

He will likely be hoping to use that tournament to market himself. The Netherlands-born player will surely have to make a decision about his future at Elland Road one way or another.

It’s clear he’s not a sure-fire Park to Daniel Farke’s plans, especially given Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s continued influence.

During the January window, they talked about winter exits.

“To be honest, it’s not in the plan right now,” Piro said.

“You never know, what if an opportunity comes up that you can’t refuse? But personally, I’m not really looking forward to making any moves this winter. Especially because the season is still relatively short and there’s very little time to adapt elsewhere. I think it would be very difficult.”

At the time, Ipswich Town were keen on a permanent transfer. The Leeds United player did not want to move in the winter and was also unwilling to switch championships.

When summer arrives, a different decision may need to be made.

Leeds United intend to bring in Larghi Ramazani from Daniel Farke next season.

The Belgian joined the Premier League side from UD Almería in August 2024 for around €8m.

At the time, Leeds United were in the Championship and the player scored seven goals and two assists in 31 matches in his first season.

The Whites achieved promotion to the top flight but Ramazani did not stay at Elland Road. Instead, the English club let him join Valencia on a season-long loan deal in August 2025.

He struggled initially and suffered an injury in October that kept him out of action until December. Following this, the attacker waited until February to make his first La Liga start for Los Chayes.

This came after scoring a late winner against Espanyol in January. Since his debut, Carlos Corberán has regularly used the Leeds United-owned player.

He has five goals and two assists in 22 matches for the Spanish club and his statistics per game in La Liga are as follows.

• Expected target: 4.83
• Expected Support: 1.52
• Big chances made: 2
• Main pass: 0.7
• Shots on target: 0.7
• Goal conversion: 17%

Earlier this month, Sport Witness broadcast news Ramazani is an attractive option for Valencia next season. On March 12, He refused To discuss his future plans beyond this season.

leeds united in control

Mark There is a report on Valencia and the English club’s plans for Larji Ramadani’s future.

His performances so far have convinced Los Chase to keep him, but it won’t be easy as there is no purchase option.

The lack of a purchase clause puts the La Liga side’s chances of retaining the player in ‘jeopardy’.

Leeds United had previously bypassed him and approved a loan move, but have now been impressed by his performances for Valencia.

Therefore, his ‘primary objective’ is to become a key player for them in the Premier League next season. They are 15th in the table, four points above the relegation zone.

At the same time, summer sales are not ruled out. Marca say that Leeds United would consider selling him if a good offer was received.

Valencia unlikely to retain Ramazani

There is no mention of what the Elland Road club considers a good proposal. However, it is likely that Valencia will not be able to match it. The Spanish club’s financial issues over the past decade have dragged them below the level they should be at.

The other option is that Leeds United would have to approve another loan move to Valencia in the summer. This would be perfect for a loss chase but seems unlikely at this stage.

Larji Ramazani’s contract with the Whites runs until 2028, and transfer market He is worth €8 million. That estimated value has increased by €2 million since his loan move to Mestalla.

At the age of 25, Ramazani still has plenty of time to break into the Premier League with Leeds United.

Slovenia’s new manager Bostjan Cesar has named Leeds United’s Jaka Bijol as captain for the March international break.

The national team confirmed the appointment of manager in January, following Matjaz Kek’s departure from his role in December.

With injuries to other key players, Cesar has decided to hand the armband to a Leeds United player.

He will be without goalkeepers Jan Oblak of Atletico Madrid, Benjamin Cesco of Manchester United, Sandi Lovric of Hellas Verona and David Brekalow of Orlando City.

Due to injuries, this quartet will not be able to play in the upcoming matches and hence the manager has made Bijol his captain.

Slovenia failed to win any of their World Cup qualifiers in the last three international breaks and this led to Kek’s elimination.

Difficult situation at leeds united

The White centre-back spoke at a press conference on Monday and Tuesday’s edition Diary Has released his comments.

Jaka Bijol wants to put Slovenia’s disappointment behind him and wants his teammates to make the most of the upcoming matches.

He said: “We learned from the last cycle that this path is not very fast. We are still not at the beginning, but we have a good foundation.”

“We know we have to give even more to be successful. The new faces have to accept as much responsibility as possible. If everyone plays their part during the week and in the matches, we will be successful. Both friendly matches are a great opportunity to feel out new ideas and see what changes will be made to the team.”

The 27-year-old arrived at Elland Road from Udinese in June 2025 and initially struggled for regular minutes. Daniel Farke started using it in October, and please did this Kek, former manager of Slovenia.

Bijols has played 1,309 minutes in 18 Premier League matches, including 13 starts. He explained how difficult it is to retain his place at Leeds United.

“It’s a constant struggle to get a place in the team. I’m happy with my situation, one week it’s better, the next week it’s worse. When I get a chance, I give my all,” Bijol explained.

Leeds United have rekindled their interest in Sporting’s Hidemasa Morita for the summer window.

The Premier League side paid attention to him last summer, but made no move to bring him to Elland Road.

Despite this, the Whites have not forgotten the midfielder and now have an easier way to secure his services.

Morita joined the Portuguese club from Santa Clara in 2022 and has played 153 games, scoring 10 goals and 13 assists.

Last season, he had 1,294 minutes in 23 league matches. The Japan international has played 1,220 minutes in 20 league games so far this season. Below is a comparison of their data [this season first] Between these two campaigns.

• Expected Target: 0.30 – 1.62
• Shots on target: 0 – 0.2
• Expected Support: 0 – 2.53
• Big chances made: 1 – 5
• Interceptions: 0-6 – 0.5
• Dribbled Past: 0.6 – 0.4
• Ground duel won: 2.7 – 2.8
• Yellow cards: 3 – 1

Although his form has dropped this season, Leeds United are planning a return for him in the next window.

Last June, Sports Witness Covered claims from Portugal Regarding the interest of the English Club. Fast forward to March and Saturday’s edition to ball There is a report on Leeds being his likely destination.

Leeds United return for Morita

The 30-year-old is now back on the Premier League team’s agenda, and the latter could take advantage of his contract situation.

Last summer, the Whites expressed keen interest but refused to meet the Lions’ €10m price tag. There was a perception that the price was too high compared to the contract condition.

The Japan international, who turns 31 in May, has three months left on his contract. He has no plans to sign an extension and will leave Sporting as a free agent.

Leeds United are his ‘likely destination’ and could secure his services for free, a year after refusing to meet Sporting’s demand.

He suffered injuries last season but has been fit since September. This is another factor that favors Daniel Farke’s side signing him.

Morita’s dream is to play in England and he can fulfill it by going to Elland Road. He was left out of the Japan squad for the upcoming international break, but managed to make it to the World Cup.

If this were to happen, Leeds United could potentially face competition from other clubs.

Morita’s price and agent information

transfer market He is valued at €9m, which is €2m less than since September 2025. His highest value was €15m in June 2024.

Hidemasa Morita is represented by British agency CAA Base, and their client list includes his compatriot and Leeds United’s Ao Tanaka. This connection could make it easier for Farc’s side to sign Morita on a free in the summer.

Victor Orta has lived the ups and downs of football intimately, but the Director of Football, best known for his time at Leeds United, says both the game and life have changed him.

In a candid interview with AS GaliciaOrta reflected on what held him back amid promotion, European nights and the praise that followed his most famous signings.

“I’ve lost that ego”: Orta opens up on self-awareness

Asked who keeps his feet on the ground? When success threatened to inflate his egoOrta did not hesitate.

“My wife,” He said. “She’s my anchor. Anyway, I’ve lost that ego.”

The Raphinha transfer that defined Orta’s Leeds reign

This is a surprising admission from a man known for his intensity and conviction.

Victor Orta acknowledged that football can attract even the most self-conscious operators, especially when the praise comes from highlighting specific talents.

“Certainly, you feel those butterflies when you see your name mentioned as the discoverer of so-and-so,” He accepted.

“Or someone says to you, ‘Ah, you brought Raphinha (to Leeds), now he can win the Ballon d’Or.'”

From £17 million gamble to Barcelona captain

The deal marks one of Leeds United’s finest pieces of business in the Premier League era.

The Brazilian moved to Elland Road from Rennes in October 2020 in a £17m deal.

He scored 17 goals and recorded 12 assists in 67 games for the club, including a crucial penalty on the final day against Bournemouth in 2022. This helped prevent Leeds from relegation.

He moved to Barcelona in the summer for £50 million and after early struggles, he was named team captain amid a stellar campaign last season, in which he recorded 34 goals and 25 assists in 56 games and broke Lionel Messi’s record for goal contributions in a single Champions League campaign for the club.

He is, perhaps, the standout example of Orta’s eye for value and upside. But he insists that perspective now matters more than individual credit.

“I think there are more important things,” He concluded.

For Leeds fans, Raphinha’s legacy speaks for itself. Orta’s legacy at Elland Road is a different matter altogether.

However, the Spaniard says he is a changed man. Now, the legacy that Victor Orta values ​​most may be one that was created far away from the spotlight.

Leeds United’s Matteo Joseph says he wants to extend his stay at RCD Mallorca beyond this season.

In August 2025, Leeds United allowed the striker to join the La Liga side on a season-long loan deal.

Last month, after a run of six wins in 25 league matches, Mallorca parted ways with manager Jagoba Arrasate and appointed Martin Demichelis as his successor.

Arrasate used the Leeds United-owned player in his preferred role as a number 9 and on the right wing.

Demichelis has been in charge for two matches, managing one win and one draw, and has used the 22-year-old as a striker. Overall, Matteo Joseph has played 1,606 minutes in 28 matches this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists.

Below are some of Joseph’s league statistics from this season.

leeds united took control

As things stand, he will return to Elland Road at the end of the season as Mallorca have not achieved a purchase clause.

Earlier in the season, Sport Witness Covered claims from Spain That the La Liga side want to extend his loan stay for another year.

Joseph has now expressed his desire to remain with the Demichelis. He revealed this during an interview with Fibvi Radio’s La Zona 10 and last minute Has released his comments.

Mallorca are now 16th in the table, two points above 18th-placed Elche, and the Spaniard admitted “This has not been the best year for the club”. Despite this he wants to extend his stay. Daniel Farke’s side will have a big role to play when deciding their future in the summer.

“I would like to continue to be happy here. When you are happy somewhere, why make a change? It does not depend much on me because I have a contract with another club. We will see what the future holds for me.” He said.

“I’m grateful to my coaches, to my teammates, who made me feel like one of them from day one, and to the sporting director, who has always shown confidence in me.”

Joseph explained about his new manager in Mallorca: “[He has] Ambition, individuality and desire to do well. He is very demanding and it matches well with my personality.

Why should Farke’s side be sold in summer?

Joseph has a contract with the Premier League team till 2028 transfer market He is valued at €3.5m. Another loan move means he will have a year left on his contract in 2027.

Last summer, the white man effectively went on strike to force a transfer. Real Betis wanted to sign him Either through permanent transfer or through loan with purchase option. However, Leeds United were looking for a dry loan move and agreed the same formula with Mallorca.

Joseph’s contract, going on strike last summer and his latest admission indicate that he does not want to play for Leeds United. Furthermore, he did not have the season of development he had expected. Therefore, it is best for Farke’s side to part ways with him permanently in the summer.

Switzerland manager Murat Yakin has confirmed that Leeds United’s Noah Okafor will miss the March international break through injury.

The winger last featured in Leeds United’s FA Cup win over Birmingham City on 15 February. Since then he has been out of the team due to a hamstring injury.

Okafor recently returned to training, but a new hip problem forced him out of the league draw against Crystal Palace at the weekend.

This setback has come as a huge blow to him as it has further delayed his return to the national team.

Okafor has not represented his country since arriving at Elland Road from AC Milan in August 2025. In fact, he had made an appearance since June 2024, and that was in November of that year.

Timeline of the NT saga of Leeds United players

It’s important to provide background on why Murat Yakin repeatedly ignored Noah Okafor and what changed in recent weeks.

white man’s living together attitude Switzerland considered doubtful for Euro 2024. Last October, Sports Witness Covered Claims The manager was bitter at the Euros and did not want Okafor to remain in the team.

Yakin dropped him from the team again in November, resulting in a public outburst from the 25-year-old. He accused the national team boss and his director Pierluigi Tammi of not communicating with him.

At the end of that month, Tami urged Okafor needs to be “polite,” while Yakin said in January that the door is always open to him.

In February, Yakin, Tammy and Swiss FA media officer Adrian Arnold all traveled to the UK. The trio watched Okafor in live action against Nottingham Forest and chatted with him.

Tami said There were “honest, frank and constructive talks” between the parties. This led to suggestions that he could return to the team for the upcoming international break.

Switzerland’s comeback derailed by injury

Switzerland face Germany and Norway in the coming weeks and Yakin announced his squad this morning.

Okafor missed the game due to injury and the manager spoke with him to learn more about his condition. 9.f Has released his comments.

“I had planned to include him in the team, unfortunately he is now injured. He is making good progress, we are in touch. We also spoke to him on the phone recently about staying focused.” He said.

This suggests that although Okafor is not ready for Switzerland, he should be available for Leeds United soon.

Okafor’s numbers with Leeds United

With a contract until 2029, transfer market He is valued at €18 million, and has increased by €5 million since joining Farke’s side.

Below are his statistics from the Premier League so far

Leeds United’s interest in Danny Namasso is entering a more complicated phase, with the situation now in danger of getting out of their hands due to developments in France.

The Whites have been tracking the Porto-owned forward for several months. As we covered in the first seasonHis name came up with clubs in Spain and France. At that time, the feeling was that their positions could be opened at relatively low costs. However, that window may now be closed.

Debt is turning into a permanent move

Namasso joined AJ Auxerre on loan last summer, which seemed like a favorable structure for potential buyers. The deal included a €5m (£4.3m) buyout clause, significantly less than his €80m (£68.5m) release clause at Porto.

This figure was one of the main reasons why Leeds United were cautious. This presented a rare opportunity to sign a 25-year-old forward with top level experience at a modest price. However, since then, his role in France has grown rapidly.

The Cameroon international has established himself as a regular starter. He has played 1,896 minutes in Ligue 1 this season. This accounts for approximately 81% of Auxerre’s total minutes so far.

As a result, he has effectively cleared one of the two conditions required to make the €5m (£4.3m) clause mandatory. The limit on minutes available throughout the campaign was set at 60%.

Even when projecting a full season, he’s already well above that figure.

The fight for survival is important now

The second position is more uncertain and is now at the center of Leeds United’s hopes.

As reported by Portuguese newspaper to ballAuxerre would have to remain in Ligue 1 for the clause to be mandatory. Currently, they are 16th in the table, which will send them to the relegation play-offs.

They are eight points behind safety, making automatic survival difficult. The most realistic route appears to be maintaining that play-off position.

Importantly, those extra matches will also count towards Namasso’s minutes. This will only strengthen its position within the agreement.

If Auxerre remains up, the transfer becomes automatic. In that scenario, Leeds United would no longer have a direct way to negotiate with Porto. If they go down, the positions reopen – but not completely.

Auxerre will still retain the option to sign him for €5m (£4.3m). Yet demotion may reduce their willingness to invest at that level.

Practicing Patience for Leads

The timing of all this is strange for Leeds United. When Namso’s condition appeared to be flexible, he recognized Namso. Now, their continued involvement and Auxerre’s reliance on them is taking this deal to a permanent outcome.

This will force the leads to wait.

Should Auxerre secure survival, the door is effectively closed unless they are willing to negotiate with the French club instead. If demotion occurs, there may be a second chance – but possibly with more competition and less control.

Either way, what once seemed a straightforward deal is now linked to a demotion fight in France.

Leeds United tried to sign Porto full-back Zhaidu Sanusi in January, but the defender ultimately turned down the chance to move to the Premier League.

Sanusi has been at Porto since 2020, arriving from Santa Clara in a move worth around €4m (£3.4m). He has since made over 120 appearances for the club in all competitions.

The left-back’s contract still runs until 2027 and remains an experienced option in Porto’s defensive rotation.

As we covered at the timeThere was speculation that the club was close to signing the experienced full-back during the winter market. Sanusi, now 28, offers strong physical attributes and extensive European experience, including appearances in the Champions League and Europa League.

Its confirmation has now come out from Portugal newspaper. game This followed comments from Porto manager Francesco Farioli, who pointed out that the Nigerian had a concrete opportunity to leave during the winter period.

There was also interest from Wolverhampton Wanderers, but Leeds United were among the clubs actively looking for a deal.

The Porto manager’s explanation came while discussing why the defender was not used in recent league matches against Sporting and Benfica. Farioli said the decisions were related to team management and tactical choices rather than any issue with the player.

January move discussed

Speaking about the situation, the Porto coach confirmed that Sanusi had a real chance to leave during the winter window, with Premier League clubs making contact.

“He had a good opportunity to move to the Premier League in January,” Farioli explained.

The manager revealed that he had spoken directly to the defender as his playing time was limited at the start of the season. Despite that situation, Sanusi made it clear that he would prefer to stay and compete for a role.

“I talked to him about what he wanted because he didn’t have a lot of minutes in the first half of the season,” The coach said. “His response was clear. He said he was happy to remain in the team and play a role.”

Patience paid off in Porto

Sanusi’s decision to remain has been gradually rewarded with greater involvement. He featured in league matches against Nacional, Rio Ave and Arauca earlier this year, helping to rebuild momentum after a quiet start to the campaign.

In all competitions this season, he has made double-digit appearances for Porto. Although he is not always a guaranteed starter, he remains a reliable option in Farioli’s team.

The manager has repeatedly praised the defender’s professionalism and attitude, highlighting his commitment even when not starting matches regularly.

“He is making very good progress and is one of the exemplary players,” Farioli said. “Zaidu has incredible commitment to the team and the club. He is loved by the fans. You can hear a different noise when he touches the ball at Dragão.”

What this could mean for Leeds United

For Leeds United, the revelation confirms that the club were solely monitoring Premier League-ready options rather than long-term prospects.

Sanusi’s profile is perfect for that type of move. A physically strong, high-energy full-back with experience in European competitions and a relatively modest market value. According to Transfermarkt, he is currently valued at around €3m (£2.6m). Realistically, it will cost a lot.

Although the January move did not come to fruition, the situation highlights the type of defensive reinforcements Leeds United are searching for. If similar needs arise again in the summer, Sanusi’s name may not be completely out of the discussion.

Leeds United’s Maximilian Wobber has been on loan at Werder Bremen since July and the temporary move has been a disaster.

The Austrian international made his debut for the Bundesliga team in a 1–0 defeat to Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal in August.

He suffered an injury in the same clash and was replaced by Olivier Damon in the 79th minute.

He had to stay away from the field for 111 days due to a hamstring injury. The defender regained full fitness in December and took part in a friendly against FC St. Pauli this year.

The 28-year-old played for 45 minutes and suffered a fresh setback. He has since been on the sidelines with a calf injury, limiting him to just one appearance this season.

In short, the centre-back, who can also operate as a left-back, has not yet been featured in the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen.

wobber has recently been revealed His injury is more serious than he initially thought. He also said that he is hoping to play five to six league matches this season after this month’s international break.

“Hopefully, after the international break, I will have at least five or six games where I can give my all for the club,” He said.

Concern over fitness of Leeds United player

Monday edition of image Relays these comments and provides his opinion on the Whites defender.

‘The personnel situation at Werder Bremen remains tense’ due to several long-term injured players. This also includes Wobber, who has not performed competitively for eight months and will not return to the field any time soon.

Earlier this month, the German club’s manager, Daniel Thioune, said they would not be in a rush to get him back.

Thioune explained: “We have to be patient and give it time. So, there is no exact forecast.”

Wobber recently traveled to London to meet a specialist, and was expected to regain fitness after the international break.

However, the Leeds United-owned player will not be fit enough to take the field straight away due to a lack of match practice. Therefore, Bild suggest that he will never be able to work for Werder Bremen again. His season may be over, and then the string of matches he is expecting may seem unrealistic.

Werder are four points above the relegation zone and it is unclear whether Thioune will risk giving minutes to Wobber.

Situation worrying for Daniel Farke’s side

Werder Bremen is unlikely to exercise the purchase option. Therefore, the Austrian will have to return to Elland Road, where he is under contract until 2027.

If Daniel Farke wants to leave him out of his plans next season, Leeds United will have to sell him to avoid losing him on a free.

transfer market The value is €4 million, but his injury situation could force Leeds United to sell him at a lower price.

Werder Bremen are highly unlikely to sign Leeds United defender Isaac Schmidt on a permanent deal this summer. The Bundesliga club are cooling on their €3m purchase option after a disappointing loan spell.

BILD has comments from Werder director Clemens Fritz today In an article covering the 26-year-old’s disappointing season in Germany.

Schmidt joined the Bundesliga club on loan from Leeds in the summer. They struggled to make a deal for the full back and eventually secured a deal with ‘favorable terms’.

He was considered an ‘exciting back up’ for the club but the match was not a success. Despite significant personnel problems at left-back, Schmidt failed to secure a starting place under Daniel Thiouane’s former coach Horst Stephan.

January signing makes Schmidt third choice

Now his condition has become much worse. Olivier Damon arrived in the January transfer window and moved ahead of Schmidt, leaving him third in the pecking order.

As a result the likelihood of the vendor exercising its €3m purchase option is ‘decreasing’. Fritz has hinted at ‘playing for time’ when asked about Schmidt’s future.

“It is too early to say if and how things will continue into the summer,” He said.

“We value Isaac highly for his versatility. His intensity and tenacity give every coach a good feeling.”

The expectation is that the Leeds lender may experience growth of late. This has already been achieved by fellow loan teammate Cameron Puertas, who has gone from benchwarmer to the starting 11.

Replacement is in line for Leeds United player

However, the future is not looking bright. Werder Bremen in particular are already considering options. According to BILD, he has already sent a ‘ready-to-sign’ offer to Hertha Berlin’s Michael Carbonik. He would be the logical successor to the Leeds United man.

Schmidt’s poor performance continued in a disappointing year. He joined them in search of playing time after managing only 71 minutes for Leeds in the Championship the previous season. His total playing time was 251 minutes which included two appearances in the FA Cup.

This season, that number is 523 minutes in 15 appearances, but it is a far cry from what he or Werder were expecting. In fact, he has indicated that he wants the move to be made permanent.

Werder Bremen are already looking for options at left-back, with Leeds United now planning the return of Isaac Schmidt in the summer. That is until the late Renaissance changed his position in Germany.

Leeds United’s Larghi Ramazani remains an ‘attractive option’ for Valencia next season.

is according to uncheckWhich sees the La Liga side likely to retain him beyond this campaign.

Daniel Farke has left the winger out of his main plans at Elland Road this season. This led to Leeds United allowing him to join Valencia on a loan deal at the end of August 2025.

Carlos Corberán initially used him as a substitute before the 25-year-old suffered a setback in October. This caused him to spend more than 50 days on the sidelines and then became a substitute.

The Leeds United-owned player came off the bench to score the eventual winner for Valencia against Espanyol in January. Last month, he made his first league start for Los Chayes and did not disappoint.

Ramzan has been impressing in recent weeks

The Belgian has scored in his last three league matches and won La Liga’s Goal of the Month rewards for their efforts Against Levante.

Earlier this month, Sport Witness broadcast news There are indications from Spain that his burst could convince Valencia to make his stay permanent.

El Desmarck picked up on this and pointed out that the former UD Almería man’s recent performances have shown he could be an attractive option for Valencia.

As things stand, Valencia are unaware of the Premier League team’s plans for Ramadani next season. Furthermore, the whites have no immediate need to sell him.

Due to the situation at Leeds United and his wages at Elland Road, a potential deal for Valencia would prove ‘expensive’. This suggests the Spanish club will be forced to refuse to retain him.

Our Opinion: What’s next for Ramadan?

The attacker will have to return to his Premier League club in the summer as Valencia have no option or obligation to retain him.

His contract at Leeds United runs until 2028, and transfer market He is worth €6m. The time remaining on his deal puts Farke’s team in a comfortable position to keep him at the club.

Should he continue this current form then Ramazani could be an option for Leeds United next season. Alternatively, he would certainly attract interest from elsewhere in La Liga, and a club with more funds than the current version of Valencia.

In the space of a few weeks, Leeds United loanee Jack Harrison has seen endless ups and downs at Fiorentina.

The attacker joined the Italian side on a loan deal in late January. The transfer was covered extensively sports witnessBecause La Viola secured the option to buy him permanently.

The winger performed well in the first two games and also helped in his second appearance. When he then started, he failed to live up to the hype, drawing criticism from the Italian press, particularly after a 3–0 defeat to Udinese.

The Florence club still find themselves in a relegation battle and things have quickly turned negative for the Leeds United player.

A permanent signature seems unlikely

fiorentinauno The report says that the 29-year-old player’s performance seems to be ‘dropping’. In his first few appearances he showed his ability, intensity and willingness to fit into Paolo Vanoli’s system.

That’s why, as of now, his permanent arrival from Leeds United is unlikely. White is believed to be keeping a close eye on his player, hoping he will turn things around.

If they do not buy, the winger will return to Yorkshire at the end of the season. The next game against Parma could prove crucial for them, with Harrison likely to start the clash. Despite failing to create anything noteworthy while starting in the last three matches, this will be another opportunity.

This is seen as a ‘true test’ by Fiorentina.

Analysis: Not entirely dependent on player

Jack Harrison started well and then dropped out, perhaps a clear indication of the pressure around Fiorentina and the negative impact it was having on the club’s players.

La Viola was not expected to be in this situation. There is anger among fan groups and there is endless criticism of the team.

David De Gea is one of those being targeted. He produced some top form when he joined Fiorentina but has now faded like others. Negativity is fueling poor performance which in itself drags players down further. Fiorentina’s situation is not much different from that of Tottenham Hotspur.

In January, sports witness La Liga interest in Leeds United’s Illan Meslier covered.

Not long ago, the goalkeeper was also attracting the attention of AC Milan. At the time, there was uncertainty regarding Mike Maignan’s future.

The France international signed a new deal, putting an end to Meslier’s thoughts of a move to San Siro.

While things changed for Maignan, they have remained exactly the same for the Leeds United player. He hasn’t played once this season, which is causing concern in France.

FootMercato: Key points on the Leeds United player

footmarket State Meslier has ‘completely disappeared’ from the Leeds United scene. And they wonder how it all happened, given that the Whites were so promising when they returned to the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa.

The outlet believes this is a sign of a complete breakdown of relations between the two parties after Meslier was suddenly fired by Daniel Farke in March 2025.

There is also a question mark on his future. The 26-year-old was close to a move to the Turkish club in January. Last summer, Lorient were also looking for him.

He would leave Leeds United on a free at the end of the season. Footmercato believes a return to Lorient is possible and would be a way for Meslier to revive his career.

Meslier’s exclusion causes concern

There was never any obvious reason for excluding the French. This is not to say that Leeds United’s goalkeepers are bad but the lack of clarity is raising concerns.

Fortunately, Meslier is still only 26 years old, which is very young for a goalkeeper. If he makes the right career choices in the summer, it could get him back on track.

He has shown enough promise in the past to join a recognized club. It would not be surprising if the situation improves drastically by the end of 2026.

Contract status, price and agent

Illan Meslier is currently valued at €12m by Transfermarkt, down from a peak of €22m in 2022. Unfortunately for Leeds United, they won’t see any of it.

The goalkeeper’s contract expires at the end of June, and he could leave the Whites as a free agent. There is no announced agent for the player, and he has worked with several people in his career.

At the time of Milan’s claims, Pini Zahawi was credited as being behind it. Perhaps the lack of a stable agent was the reason he was not transferred in January.
