Leeds Transfer Rumours

08 Jun 2026 18:31:40
Harry Wilson set to leave Fulham and join Leeds.

08 Jun 2026 19:45:32
Says who?

08 Jun 2026 09:25:51
Coventry bid £20m for on loan Brighton Carl Rushworth.

I think that is still excellent value for the 24 year old English keeper, and a far better option than Nick Pope and an upgrade on Darlow in my opinion.

08 Jun 2026 13:22:41
Yep. Here we go again. Outsmarted and outbid by lesser teams.

08 Jun 2026 13:46:08
Of course he was on loan to Coventry last season, so a bid from them was virtually inevitable.

08 Jun 2026 14:15:17
Brighton have 2 good, very dependable 35 year old gks in Vebruggen and Steele.

But even so, if Brighton were to sell 24 year old Rushworth this summer, that suggests for me they don't rate him that highly.

Brighton are also renowned for getting top dollar from any player sale (rated highly by them or not) , so will be looking for more than £20 million imo.



By the way, Coventry, with Rushworth in a weak standard Champo, were still shipping in a goal per game. 😳

08 Jun 2026 15:15:37
Accidentally thumbs upped Class of 92's ridiculous reply. How exactly have we been outsmarted to sign a keeper we have never had any interest in?

08 Jun 2026 15:19:11
Rushworth has played nearly 200 games, but not one for Brighton, and I think he's one year left on his contract. Time to cash in Rushworth for good money.
Their current senior keepers are ok, and they have a youngster coming through - James Beadle. He might end up the best of them. Only 19.

08 Jun 2026 15:31:43
Hmmmm. That wasn't Class who made that reply. I guess, 'tt' stands for tut tut?

08 Jun 2026 16:23:09
Aha, Dune, only one year left on his contract.

In that case, Brighton might not get top dollar for him.

08 Jun 2026 16:48:41
Brighton (Matt Ryan) aside, has a fantastic record for signing and developing keepers. Walton, a very good keeper, went to Ipswich for a song. Beadle is highly rated, but, for the supporters, believe it or not, Jason Steele is still far and away the most popular keeper.

Tom McGill is the next keeper to make the next step (loan club) this coming season.

Verbruggen's agent is not hugely popular, as he is constantly trying to market him out to Spuds/Bayern.



Don't think we will actually sign a keeper (actually, I believe we do need one, though) . Karl is a great back up, but we have to look to improve every year if we want to maintain our EPL status.

Nothing in my post about being outsmarted. Just love my club to sign a fantastic young keeper we can rely on for a good few seasons.

08 Jun 2026 17:18:40
Baz, one year left on Rushworth's contract, but an option for a further year.

07 Jun 2026 18:16:04
James Marshment: Leeds in talks to sign Kalvin Phillips for £25m.

07 Jun 2026 18:36:10
You're aving a larff. 🤣😂🤣😂

07 Jun 2026 18:56:45
May be worth $2.5 now TBH.
Has shown no sign of EPL standard since he left Leeds, sadly.

07 Jun 2026 19:49:07
KP, in 2020/21 EPL and at the Euros in 2021, was superb. England Player of the Tournament.

But serious injuries since have scuppered his career. We did very well indeed to get £45 million off Citeh.

Likelihood rating nil.

Silly clickbait, one of many.

07 Jun 2026 21:14:30
Don't be daft.

07 Jun 2026 21:23:36
It's not April Fools Day.

08 Jun 2026 01:03:30
Despite the fact that Man City have reportedly offered him around 400K, with no takers.

08 Jun 2026 01:15:49
Incidentally, is Ausman3 any relation to Ausman2, or is it just an end of season relegation?
Ausman4 next year. 🙂

08 Jun 2026 01:25:17
Funny. I have a secret admirer. I have my suspicions about what nutter it is. 😬

08 Jun 2026 06:09:29
Peabutt nutter?

08 Jun 2026 09:28:09
Hope they female and young and curves in all the right places. May well get a treat if they are. I might be lucky bright.

08 Jun 2026 20:29:08
That would be Auswoman36:24:36 then.

07 Jun 2026 11:15:59
Some small rumours that we're in for Said El Mala with Brentford and Brighton.

This kid is a joke. would be an unbelievable signing if we can get involved. He'll be big money, but young though.

07 Jun 2026 13:03:27
Not convinced until Peanut gives it the nod.

07 Jun 2026 13:10:06
🤣 Aus.

07 Jun 2026 18:14:24
Not convinced until Aus tells us that an F-tier reporter has said we have interest.

05 Jun 2026 23:21:09
Wilson close to signing according to Joe Tiffany on X.

06 Jun 2026 00:34:07
I'd take that!

06 Jun 2026 00:42:46
Would be very good but unlikely imo.

2/10 likelihood.

What huge salary is he and his agent after, for starters?

And, are there not other bigger, higher salary paying clubs also in the race to sign him.. Villa, Newcastle, Everton, Spurs, Overseas etc.

06 Jun 2026 00:58:54
Would be nice if a player was interested in the project, and has some loyalty for a team that was prepared to pay for him, as well as wanting to play with his mates.
I agree with Baz, it's a low probability, but would improve us significantly, I'd say.

06 Jun 2026 01:13:46
He was close to signing for us in Jan, but it didn't happen then, so is it more likely to happen now? Given the past unreliability of the source, I'll not be holding my breath.

06 Jun 2026 06:42:41
I'm gonna have to add a copyright on the likelihood / possibility rating system, I'm afraid, Baz. Can't have you stealing that one. 😬😂

06 Jun 2026 07:21:42
Brighty, 😆
But seeing as my version is a significant upgrade improvement on your version; BazCorp has already obtained the copyright.

06 Jun 2026 09:32:38
Joe Tiffany is the biggest wind-up merchant around, can ignore whatever he says, 100% nonsense

06 Jun 2026 10:08:54
Yep, thought it was uber unlikely, PeanutKing, or PK.

£100k per week and a free transfer, so affordable. He wants regular game time, and being with his mates from the national team are both draws.

05 Jun 2026 14:20:49
Karl Darlow expected to leave the club following an offer from Tottenham.

05 Jun 2026 17:33:25
What offer?
Very bad news if true.
Likelihood rating 2/10.

05 Jun 2026 18:32:38
That Spurs rumour has been bouncing around for a few days. If we make a fair offer, and he's our no. 1, he'll stay. He won't be no. 1 at Spurs. I think he's done enough this season to deserve a decent contract. He didn't start off as no. 1, but he didn't sulk, and he took the opportunity when it came.

05 Jun 2026 19:55:04
He may not be number one at Spurs, but, if, as expected, we look for a new goalkeeper, he won't be number one here either. It will all come down to who offers him the most financially attractive deal. He's now 35, so his next deal, wherever it is, will likely be his last, certainly at Premier League level.

05 Jun 2026 20:12:50
Doesn't matter if he's not number 1 at Spurs, at his age they'll defo be offering him more cash.

05 Jun 2026 20:16:27
Leeds allegedly after a new gk, you say?

That would be ok if Leeds United recruitment were adept at doing so, but let's not forget, Underwood and Co brought us the most very underwhelming, at times calamitous, Lucas Perri last season, and for a large transfer fee.



I therefore have very little to zero confidence in them recruiting a good gk (s) this summer.

Darlow should defo remain Leeds United number 1 gk for the next 2 seasons, and as such, be rewarded with a very good new 2 year LUFC contract.

05 Jun 2026 20:43:37
Agree, Baz. There's the old adages: 'better the devil you know' and 'if it's not broke, don't mend it'. Darlow has done ok, and where do you find a keeper for next to nothing? Trafford, Ramsdale, etc.

are £20m plus, and Pope is a cheaper alternative, but is he any better? If we want to get rid of Perri, which I don't, then keep Darlow, and get Dubravka for a small fee as no. 2.

05 Jun 2026 20:48:19
Indeed Dune.
Both old adages apply here.
#very concerned. 😟

06 Jun 2026 09:33:28
Baz, so you don't think we can sign a good keeper even though 90% of our summer business was great?

06 Jun 2026 10:58:51
PK, I have alluded to this before. Leeds United recruitment of gks in the recent past has been woeful, with the exception of Karl Darlow. It has been woeful, and Underwood, Marathe and Co continued that with signing Perri.

We have had
Perri, Meslier, Kiko, Klaessen and Wieldwald..

06 Jun 2026 11:00:27
And steady on our summer business being 'great'.. It was overall quite good.

06 Jun 2026 16:40:23
Funny ain't it that in years past we had some of the best goalkeepers around. David Harvey, David Stewart, John Lukic, Mervyn Day, Paul Robinson, Kasper Schmeichel, Paddy Kenny, Rob Green, plus the one that got away, David Seaman, and the best of the lot, Nigel Martyn.

06 Jun 2026 17:39:15
Ten excellent Leeds United goalkeepers there JR (We're claiming Leeds United youth keeper David Seaman. He is proper Leeds, and has always been a huge Leeds United fan.)

Other talented Leeds United goalkeepers (apart from the obvious Gary Sprake) .

1) Neil Sullivan. very reliable and saved a lot of penalties for Leeds from memory.



2) Scott Carson had a good (ish) career.

And

3) A Leeds United goalkeeper before our time.
Called Jimmy Potts.
A giant of a goalkeeper, a very good shotstopper, with 71 clean sheets in 263 appearances, apparently.

07 Jun 2026 09:29:17
I'd quite forgotten Neil Sullivan - another one to add to the list. Scott Carson was Ok, but always second fiddle to Robinson at Leeds, and never became numero uno anywhere. The mention of Paul Robinson reminded me of a League Cup game against Swindon in 2003. We were 2:1 down, going into added-on time, and the Swindon players were all getting ready to celebrate a giant killing.

Then Paul Robinson came up for a corner, scored a terrific headed goal to level the score, and then saved a pen in the subsequent shoot-out to win the tie. Norman Hunter was guest expert on BBC Radio Leeds that night, and his reaction to the goal was priceless.

07 Jun 2026 13:10:54
Scott Carson, 469 appearances, JR.

07 Jun 2026 13:53:20
Pretty sure Scott Carson was numero uno at Derby and West Brom.. probably others too as he has 469 appearances.

07 Jun 2026 16:42:06
You're right about Scott Carson, Baz. Serve me right for relying on my dodgy memory. I remember people who play for Leeds better than those who play for other clubs.

05 Jun 2026 11:11:28
Rumour in the Yorkshire Evening Post that we're thinking of a loan deal with Barcelona for Roony Bardghji, a highly rated 20 yr old Swedish right winger. Since Barcelona still owe us around €42m (£36.5m) on the Raphina deal, maybe we could offer them a small reduction in that debt in exchange for a free loan deal, maybe with an option to buy too.

05 Jun 2026 11:57:45
They've just bought Gordon, and the Rashford deal isn't dead if they can lever the fee down a bit, so Bardghji is probably way down the pecking order. I'd read that Barca were keen to sell. They paid EUR2m for him a year ago on a four-year contract, but want substantially more. Interest from several PL clubs, allegedly.

05 Jun 2026 13:12:43
Fairly sure Leeds have confirmed the fee for Raph has been paid. They may owe someone else, as someone loaned the money to pay us, though.

05 Jun 2026 13:22:44
The Rapha thing is all cleared up a long time ago. The lad is defo worth a butchers tho.

05 Jun 2026 13:44:06
Reading further, you're probably right, Canada, but looking him up on YouTube, he looks quite tasty. He's listed as a right winger, but is two-footed, with a stronger left, and would work well as a CAM. An upgrade on BA for sure.

05 Jun 2026 14:11:35
Raphinha fee was paid ages ago.
Barcelona owe the funds to the backer who paid us.
Don't want Roony on loan unless it's a loan with obligation. Don't want to be developing players who won't be staying around.

05 Jun 2026 15:01:54
Fake story.

05 Jun 2026 15:51:47
Always hard to tell, so many players are great in one league and useless in another, due to speed, physicality, standards, etc., differences.

06 Jun 2026 04:16:19
Oi Oi. Has that geezer changed his name, or are there two miserable gits that are not in the know?
Been linked with half of Europe already, and the window is not open yet. No lack of squad depth next season. Most likely, once the window opens, it will be quiet for two months.

06 Jun 2026 11:53:38
Is it Smythe in disguise, d'you reckon, Aus? 😬😂😂

06 Jun 2026 13:33:09
Must be bright. Thanks for getting it. 👍

07 Jun 2026 11:36:02
Talk is of a 22m bid now, rather than a loan.

04 Jun 2026 13:04:14
Leeds United linked with signing Charleroi and Algeria midfielder Yassine Titraoui.

Marseille also believed to be interested as are ahem blooming surprise surprise Sunderland.

We've seen this movie last summer. So will it be a Non or a Oui?

Baz Rating of Likelihood 5/10.

04 Jun 2026 16:45:06
Hull may be in the mix as well, but I agree, I don't think he'll end up at ER. The Humberside press is also linking Hull with Delap, but his wages, £100k per week, won't fit into their structure.

05 Jun 2026 01:35:39
Have Sunderland got more than us to spend again this window?
Obviously, they have euro as a carrot.

02 Jun 2026 20:33:19
West Ham want over 80 mill for Fernandez. Surely no club will pay anywhere near that for a player who was only half decent in a relegation team?

Ok, maybe he was excellent in the games I didn’t watch but watching the Hammers quite a lot towards the end of the season he was decent at best.


If he’s worth 80 mill then Stach is worth 120 million and Gruev is worth 30.
He’ll probably go on to be the next Xavi now!

03 Jun 2026 07:26:48
He's a cracking player and still young, but you're right; they're tekkin the wazz a lot there! Will go for just over 50, I reckon.

03 Jun 2026 22:39:38
For £80 million I'd expect him to score against Raya from four. Yards out, let alone three.

04 Jun 2026 13:23:51
Forest reject bid from Man City for Anderson. Allegedly looking for £100m plus. Might happen if City were willing to spend well above that on Grealish. Makes the fees for Amps and Stach absolute bargains. Good, he's staying for a few more years.
