Leeds Transfer Rumours

18 Jul 2026 14:43:25
Few sources reporting we are interested in Lyon attacker Pavel Sulc (25) rated around €25m.

18 Jul 2026 16:02:02
25 g/a last season. At the age, I'd rather him than Brandt.

18 Jul 2026 12:03:11
Rumours that Brandt has arrived in Leeds this morning.

18 Jul 2026 14:44:22
That would be a very positive step!

18 Jul 2026 18:43:49
Are we going to not play Okafor or Wilson then, because neither Brandt, Okafor, or Wilson can be part of any current Leeds three-man mf that doesn't get run over in a back 4. We were 5,3,1,1 last season, and were pushed hard in mf.

Spurs have repeated that over the last 2 years. Sign Charles and you might get 2 of those 3 attacking options on in a 4, 3, 2, 1 with Charles and Ampadu holding behind Stach, with 2 attackers + DCL up top.

Graham Smyth and Beren Cross reporting Julian Brandt's father has been at Thorpe Arch.

17 Jul 2026 16:39:04
Julian Brandt's father, who is also his agent, is allegedly at Thorpe Arch according to Sky News.

Everton sniffing around Rooney now as well. Barcelona have set us both a 10 day deadline; supposedly.

Some noise on WACCOE that we may be poised to move for Trafford.

One of the more reliable posters on there saying he has aa good feeling about today and not just for Tariq. He also liked a post where someone mentioned Trafford.

17 Jul 2026 14:27:22
We may differ on this, Alf, but "having a good feeling" and liking someone else's post that mentions Trafford are not exactly what I'd call reliable info.

17 Jul 2026 15:26:57
That's the spirit. Let's now set parameters and boundaries for what constitutes reliable info.

Spoiler alert. I'll be predicting us to do well this season, and certainly to stay up. We'll be safely above all three promoted teams, based solely on blind optimism and a reasonable amount of alcohol.

The alternative is too depressing.

18 Jul 2026 07:05:53
That's why I quantified it by saying what is happening as accurately as I could rather than exaggerating it into something that it is not.
I find these little titbits of info quite exciting and fun to follow, which is why I have relayed it - after all this is a place for 'rumours' as well as more solid bits of info.


Apologies if it upset you, JR - please feel free to ignore my posts if you don't like the 'reliability' of the info.

Some reports about this morning that Brandt is preparing for a move to the EPL. As far as I know we are the only club that have made a contract offer to him.

17 Jul 2026 13:40:14
Seems no European teams have made serious efforts to get him. Might be his demands re a signing on fee and wages are too high for them.

17 Jul 2026 13:46:33
He's definitely been speaking to a few clubs that are in Europe. We have offered a fairly decent wage packet, though, by all accounts, so maybe that will end up being telling.

17 Jul 2026 14:29:21
I may be wrong here, but wasn't he hoping to find a new club in the Champions League?

17 Jul 2026 14:43:09
He has, just with a one year delay. 😉

17 Jul 2026 14:47:11
Too old. Move on.

17 Jul 2026 16:33:38
Depends on his leadership skills on whether he is "too old" for me. If the desire is there, regardless of age, I'd take him. But if it's not, then I'd move on too.

18 Jul 2026 07:10:14
Certainly not the usual profile that the 9ers look at, but possibly willing to make an exception due to it being a free. I think this is more one that Farke will be driving, as he is a huge fan and has a history with Jurgen Brandt, I believe.

Tell me, was Granit Xhaka too old last season?

16 Jul 2026 07:02:09
Schmidt to Young Boys done according to Graham Smythe - fee in the region of £2m so no loss on the books which is good.

16 Jul 2026 04:21:22
54 mill for Trafford. Seriously? Says we can afford it too 😳.

16 Jul 2026 07:54:09
There's absolutely no way anyone is paying £54m for Trafford. City paid £27 for him last year. I'd expect he will go for £30/£34m with a sell on clause/buy back.
Someone's been on the crack pipe if they think £54m.

16 Jul 2026 13:54:40
I can see him going somewhere - such as Newcastle - for the region of £45m.
