Leeds Transfer Rumours

16 Jun 2026 13:44:19
Leeds are weighing up a move for Southampton's £20m-rated midfielder Shea Charles - Daily Fail.

16 Jun 2026 14:21:34
I'd go for that.

16 Jun 2026 14:34:05
Not sure if I'd pay 20 mill for him.

16 Jun 2026 14:46:26
Blooming hope not. Very underwhelming, meh player and meh stats; plus SC not worth anywhere near £20 million.

Much, much more likely to happen is Harry Gray on season long loan to Sheff Utd.

..Bamford, KP, Rothwell, Gray.. Wilder sure loves Leeds United.

16 Jun 2026 17:03:26
Would be a brilliant signing and well worth £20m, only way to think otherwise is to not have watched much of him.

Top in both boxes, great at carrying the ball, and a good shot on him, and only young.

16 Jun 2026 12:25:00
Apparently if the West Yorkshire mass tram system doesn't get the go ahead the Elland Rd redevelopment will halt after the west stand has been completed.

16 Jun 2026 13:45:55
The Leeds Tram is as rare as unicorn s***.

16 Jun 2026 16:39:59
Where's that gem come from Cork?

16 Jun 2026 09:18:03
Read on the BBC gossip pages (Football Insider) that we are looking to sign Diomande (which is great) , but as a replacement for Rondon!
Please tell me this is malicious gossip, that man is a rock that give 200% every game.

16 Jun 2026 10:06:18
No sale Rodon. For less than 80 mill. Simple.

16 Jun 2026 13:30:28
Completely agent-led story, nothing in it.

Multiple other parts of the team need improving before we sign a £40m centre-back.

16 Jun 2026 13:45:11
Not heard of the Rodon angle myself. More expecting it to be Struijk as he enters the final year of his contract.

15 Jun 2026 19:36:46
Latest CB link is for Portuguese Diogo Leite. Besiktas and some Saudi club interested as well.

Rudy Galetti reports.

16 Jun 2026 16:31:58
He plays for Union Berlin and is out of contract, as is his team mate, Doeckhi, another CB we've been linked with.

15 Jun 2026 12:34:23
Talks for Harry Wilson on a free progressing, could be done this week.

15 Jun 2026 14:18:35
Hope so but.
is the ITK in your username.

In the know

Or

I thee kid?

Hopefully the former.

15 Jun 2026 15:52:16
You'll know before the week is up ;)

15 Jun 2026 17:14:55
Like all those who award themselves that appellation, he/she will be quick to say "told you so" if it turns out to be correct, and to keep shtum if not. The only people really 'in the know' are called Underwood, Farke, Marathe, etc. All the others are just wannabes.

15 Jun 2026 17:18:34
Hear hear, JR!
Ain't that the truth!

15 Jun 2026 19:00:44
Touchy, aren't you, JR? Plenty of people get an inside scoop of goings-on at the club. There are 10+ examples from just the last few seasons of players none of us had ever heard of being talked up on Leeds forums before any reporter had them.

15 Jun 2026 19:38:33
Mr Tiffany reported this on X a few weeks ago.

15 Jun 2026 20:03:41
Irrespective of whether it's true or not, the rumours section does not profess to be accurate. However, the same description could be provided to the majority of the football-based internet sites, whose primary purpose is to attract enough followers to flog advertising, which in turn pays the salaries of the contributors.



It's all just a bit of harmless fun. If it bothers some, I would recommend just focusing on the other sections of this site.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoy the speculations, however far-fetched, especially those historically provided by Alf and LAD.

15 Jun 2026 20:04:01
Well, one thing is very likely re Harry Wilson. Don't expect him to make a decision by the end of this week.

As there are these scenarios.

1) Harry Wilson is waiting on a potential move to a Champions League club. Villa are waiting to see if Morgan Rogers leaves Villa (with Villa then possibly interested in him) .



Or.

2) Harry Wilson is waiting to see who Fulham recruit as coach before possibly deciding to accept a lucrative new contract.

Or.

3) Harry Wilson wants to play with his Welsh mates at Leeds.

Hmm, we shall see. probably in August.

15 Jun 2026 20:20:30
Class mate, the likes of Alf, from what I can make out, literally just posts the transfer rumours from NewsNow. Maybe he has inside info, I don't really know, but every time I have read one of his "scoops" I have literally read the exact same thing that day on NewsNow. Maybe Alf works for NewsNow, that would explain it?

15 Jun 2026 20:52:19
Exactly, Class!
Share what you hear / read! It keeps interest up in a dead closed season, and if anyone is gonna just take a huge dump on everything shared, then stick to the banter page!
Rumours are just that!

15 Jun 2026 20:54:47
Could be Alf is moonlighting, Corkey! Plus Alf saves me the job of trawling through LeedsNewsNow.
I totally get we only really know when a player is actually signed, but some people do hear things from insiders within clubs. I still hear Brighton insider gossip from a mate, and accept most doesn't come to fruition, but he does get early scoops, like medicals and agents visiting the training ground, etc.


He told me Verbruggen's agent is not very welcome at the Amex Central just now, as he's been a pain in their butt since they first signed him and is desperate to leave. Don't rate him personally, as he has a simple error in him most games.

15 Jun 2026 23:28:36
No WACCOEITK I'm not touchy, just sceptical. You say that there are examples from just the last few seasons of players none of us had ever heard of being talked up on Leeds forums before any reporter had them. Maybe there were, but to be clear I'm not talking simply about rumours being discussed on fans forums like this one, I love them and reference them myself frequently, some turn out to have a germ of truth in them, most turn out to be pie in the sky. No, I'm referring to stories like the one at the top of this thread which said "talks for Harry Wilson on a free progressing, could be done this week", that statement claims a level of knowledge that I doubt that the writer possesses - unless he's planted a bug in Adam Underwood's office.

As Baz says, Wilson has a number of options, and I for one don't anticipate him reaching a decision til much later in the window, but that's just my guesswork. Leeds have likely agreed framework terms with him in anticipation of a move, probably so too have Villa and Everton and maybe others, but that means nothing til he finally makes a decision, what that will be we'll all have to wait and see.

16 Jun 2026 07:50:48
Think people are vastly overexaggerating the interest Harry Wilson is getting. He's 29 and has one properly good Prem season in his career. He isn't getting Champions League teams sniffing around.

He's settling for £100k p/w and three years (something Fulham aren't willing to do) at a middling Prem club - Leeds.

16 Jun 2026 10:08:28
Think posts should be read and treated fairly. None of us are right all the time. Think you a bit harsh on original post, JR, tbh.

16 Jun 2026 10:37:10
Spot on. 💯 Follow up post, JR.

16 Jun 2026 17:02:43
Don't think I'm being harsh, Aus. Leeds have almost certainly had exploratory contract talks with Wilson via his agent, maybe other clubs too. However, for reasons of commercial confidentiality, all knowledge of those discussions will almost certainly be confined to a very small group at ER, and for any outsider to imply that they know how talks are progressing is manifestly absurd.

{Ed001's Note - it is a RUMOURS site. Give it a rest. If you don't like it there are news sites out there for you.}

12 Jun 2026 02:46:31
Harrison off to MLS apparently. Good news.
What’s the coin on Struik? Anybody know?

12 Jun 2026 07:10:02
15m quoted last I saw, which ain't enough imo.

12 Jun 2026 07:16:23
Yeah. I'd have hoped for more for a prem player. 18-20 better. But he obviously wants out. Bit strange, really, as he gets game time. Maybe Farke has told everyone it's 4-4-2 next season.

12 Jun 2026 08:39:21
Just read £20 to £25. He's only one year left on his contract, but left-footed CBs are always in demand. I hope we continue with three at the back, but have the flexibility to change to a back four if required.
He's been here a long time, and sometimes you need the change and a new challenge.

12 Jun 2026 12:29:47
Transfermarkt says Struijk worth £22M and Diomande £42M.
Also says Bijol only £20M and Rodon only £18M, which I find strange.

12 Jun 2026 13:17:54
You're not wrong, JR! Odd value order as well as values!
I'd have Jaka much higher, then Pasc, then Rodon.

12 Jun 2026 13:20:56
Very, very strange, JR. Struijk is worth more than them, lol. Inside dealing, I suspect. Bright?

12 Jun 2026 14:03:10
Always hoped Harrison would go out to the US after his positive spell back in New York early in his career. Makes the most sense.

13 Jun 2026 08:05:21
Two CBs who are rumoured for transfer this window are Vuskovik from Spurs and Van Hecke from Brighton. The clubs are asking for around £60m and £80m respectively. They won't get that, but it makes Pascal look cheap at the suggested valuation.
Brighton have a good record of getting top dollar on sales. They've allegedly turned down Coventry's first offer of £20m for Rushworth.

13 Jun 2026 11:40:17
Indeed, Dune. I was sure Brighton would
be insisting on far more than £20 million for Rushworth.
#topdollarselliingsupremos.

14 Jun 2026 10:29:25
Going to have to buck the trend here re valuations. Bijol couldn't displace Rodon or Struijk in a back 4. He does a fine job as the immovable object in the centre of a 3 where his lack of pace isn't exposed. Rodon has been our best centre half for some time, and Struijk, albeit a few clangers at the end of the season, has done well this year.

and carries a premium for being left footed. which is negated by the length of his contract. c£20mish seems about right for all 3 of them. So we'll probably sell Pascal for half that.

10 Jun 2026 21:46:10
Understand Leeds United have agreed a deal worth £200k with Aberdeen to sign Scottish rising star Lewis Pirie, born in 2007. ⚪️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #LUFC

Pirie scored 51 goals for club and country last season and will join Leeds on a contract to 2026.

Fabrizioooo.

10 Jun 2026 23:29:40
I thought we already had him and he is being released.

10 Jun 2026 23:40:21
Yeah, sorry, I was going to add he never did owt for us!

11 Jun 2026 10:16:05
Promising.

10 Jun 2026 18:51:41
Allegedly the Diomande rumours have some truth to them. Sporting asking €50m for the defender but apparently we are keen.

11 Jun 2026 00:28:20
Saw that. That's a lot of coin on a defender.

11 Jun 2026 07:11:26
43m quoted as being on the table!

11 Jun 2026 07:47:51
If we were to spend that much on a player, there are higher priorities than a CB.

11 Jun 2026 08:09:42
Seems a strange one when reports are we have a budget similar to last season, some saying as low as £70m, and all the talk, even from the club, is that we are focusing on the attack rather than defence.

I've seen we've enquired about Natan from Betis again, left-footed cb, 25yr old, around the same ball park price.



I wonder if the club know Pascal is going, and something is already agreed.

Otherwise, I can't see why we spend half our summer budget on 1 player in a position we apparently aren't prioritising.

11 Jun 2026 09:21:56
I'd be spending 10 plus what we get for Pascal on replacement. Save the dosh for it. And here we go again again again. An attacking midfielder and striker. I mean, worse case scenario, Amps can cover at back. And Justin, when Gabby fit. Keep Bornau. Very strange rumour if true.

11 Jun 2026 09:35:30
If it's true, I agree it's not our priority position, but I am most impressed at the level of coin being discussed, if true.. Just spend that much on a goalscorer or creative genius.

11 Jun 2026 10:17:30
£50 million.. £43 million.. On a defender, seriously. Leeds United likelihood rating: zero.

11 Jun 2026 10:25:01
Brightwhite, they're going to sell Pascal I think.

Seems like a very good replacement. He's not a left footer, but, as others have said on here, an excellent footballing centre half.. and young!

All of the top 6 have had a look. Fingers crossed it's another Stach situation, and he picks Leeds.

11 Jun 2026 15:42:32
Agree, Dave and Bushy. Pascal must be going. Just hope it ain't Jaka going instead!

11 Jun 2026 17:06:19
Verbal agreement now in place with Sporting according to various reports.

11 Jun 2026 17:37:43
No way we spending 50Mill on a defender.

12 Jun 2026 00:12:01
Wishful thinking here, but let's say we've already lined up Wilson on a free, then we can afford 45 mill on this guy, and still have 30 left for a striker, plus a bit more for a GK or LB!

12 Jun 2026 01:11:17
The 50M mentioned is Euros, which equates to about £43M. Still a helluva lot, but if, as some suspect, Pascal goes, we could hopefully reduce the net outlay to under £30M. I'd be quite happy to keep Pascal and instead spend big on a proven goalscorer or No 10, which are targets we repeatedly fail to hit, but time will tell.

12 Jun 2026 02:43:22
Fair point, Canada.

12 Jun 2026 07:13:03
Indeed, Canada, then add in some solid loans, funded by less valuable departures, and Bob's yer Uncle in his new "tea towel" home shirt.

12 Jun 2026 15:38:16
Of course, we are Leeds, so it won't happen, but we can hope, right !

09 Jun 2026 09:46:17
Karl Darlow in talks with Tottenham and ***chester over becoming their backup keeper.

09 Jun 2026 10:19:21
Why would he go to Spurs. Devon possibly attractive cause of dosh and Euro football.

09 Jun 2026 11:59:45
Agree, Aus. Onana back from loan from Trab, but he's been told he's not wanted, and Bayindir isn't good - too many mistakes, and not physical enough, so they have Tom Heaton. KD, unfortunately, would be a good back up keeper for them, and at this stage of his career a good last (?) contract.


Newcastle have bought a young keeper from Rennes, so Pope may be off. Don't think he's the answer if KD goes. We'll not get anywhere near what we paid if we sell Perri - everyone knows why we're doing it.
In the end, we might have to fork out for a new keeper.

09 Jun 2026 13:40:40
So, Amps' contract was announced last week, but no sign of Darlow and Struick contract extensions.

Baz, likelihood rating: they are both leaving 7/10.

09 Jun 2026 14:39:54
If Leeds and Tottenham are both only offering a backup role, then Tottenham will give better wages and players like to live in London.

09 Jun 2026 15:13:00
Don't know if footballers are different from ordinary plebs like me, but I'd have to be paid a massive screw to live in London - detest the place.

09 Jun 2026 17:41:15
There was no sign of Amps signing a contract extension until he did, though, Baz.
The 49's tend to do business a lot more discreetly than we have been used to, which is a good thing, imo.

09 Jun 2026 20:08:12
I agree, Canada, the 49ers generally do in-house players' contracts business very discreetly.

But, if no new deals are announced by LUFC for Darlow and Struick by 3rd week of June.

..then it would seem very likely indeed both players are open / looking to move to other clubs.

09 Jun 2026 20:16:44
If Darlow goes, wish we'd go for Fenerbahce Livakovic, Croatia no.1 (think his stock might rise at the WC like it did at the last one too) .

10 Jun 2026 09:15:57
Great shout, Ekb. For me, if Darlow goes, he goes. It is a lot easier to replace Karl with an equivalent or better than it would be with Anton Stach.

We have to think and trade more like Brighton and Brentford do, and utilise the transfer data to maintain profits and continue to improve the playing squad. No room for sentimentality in the modern game.

10 Jun 2026 13:29:02
We are talking to Darlow about an extension already. Spuds would likely pay more money than us, but I think Darlow would prioritise playing regularly if he can get that. Not sure we would offer him that though tbh.

10 Jun 2026 14:43:46
We have to consider more important positions to spend big coin on than gk. Darlow cheap and able. Not great. But able. And better positions to improve.

10 Jun 2026 14:49:34
Farke was, for him, widely outspoken and publicly critical of Perri's gaffes last season.

..and he clearly preferred Darlow to Perri.

So, I really doubt that Farke would want Perri as his number 1, so Leeds should offer Darlow a 2 year contract as number 1.

10 Jun 2026 15:10:55
I think the club wants to bring someone else in. Perri was a compromise between 9ers and DF, but neither wanted him as their primary target.

11 Jun 2026 07:12:49
The offer is on the table to him, so the ball is in his court. I'm not holding my breath; gut feel is he will leave for the wedge.

12 Jun 2026 17:08:34
It's probably a last move for Darlow, so maybe he will try for a big payday.
