With the Premier League season fast approaching, Leeds United are accelerating their transfer activity in a bid to reinforce their squad for top-flight competition. After confirming four summer signings, the club is now targeting up to six additional arrivals—headlined by their ongoing pursuit of Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz from Fulham.
Squad Overhaul in Full Swing
Leeds have wasted no time in reshaping their roster following promotion, already sealing deals for Jaka Bijol, Lukas Nmecha, Sebastiaan Bornauw, and Gabriel Gudmundsson. These additions solidify the team’s spine, but the recruitment drive is far from over.
The club’s decision-makers are actively working on bringing in a starting goalkeeper, a creative midfielder, a winger, a No. 10, and most crucially—a centre-forward to lead the line. According to reports, Leeds are pursuing multiple deals simultaneously, aiming to finalize business before the Premier League curtain rises.
Muniz Remains Top Striking Target
The spotlight remains on Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz, a long-standing target who continues to be viewed as Leeds’ preferred option up front. Despite earlier setbacks, confidence is quietly growing within the club that a breakthrough is possible.
Graham Smyth of the Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Leeds “have not abandoned their belief” in securing a deal for the 23-year-old Brazilian. Talks remain active behind the scenes, and Fulham’s recent interest in new forwards could pave the way for a potential move later in the window.
Multiple Midfield and Attacking Targets Identified
Beyond the striker search, Leeds are also targeting at least two midfielders. Names such as Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff have surfaced, though efforts to land the latter have so far been rebuffed by Newcastle.
On the creative end, Leeds are eyeing a No. 10 and a left-sided attacker. However, not all links have been welcomed by fans—recent rumors involving Josh Sargent and Tom Fellows have sparked debate, with many questioning whether such signings would match Premier League demands.
Goalkeeper Hunt Intensifies
The Whites are also in the market for a reliable shot-stopper. Targets include Vanja Milinković-Savić of Torino, Lucas Perri of Lyon, and Newcastle veteran Nick Pope. With just weeks left in the window, Leeds are under pressure to finalize their choice to ensure a smooth pre-season transition.
Long-Term Vision Amid Transfer Noise
While the transfer rumor mill continues to churn, Leeds are staying the course. Club insiders emphasize that the recruitment team has maintained a shortlist of well-scouted, high-upside players capable of making an immediate impact while offering future value.
With promotion comes pressure, and integrating several new faces into a cohesive unit is no easy task. The next few weeks could define Leeds United’s trajectory for the upcoming season.
