Leeds United are stepping up big time this summer. Manager Daniel Farke and the board are working hard to bring in three top players, Alex Moreno from Aston Villa, midfield dynamo Habib Diarra from Strasbourg, and defensive rock Jaka Bijol from Udinese.
This triple move could transform the team as Leeds prepare for life back in the Premier League.
Alex Moreno: Solid Left‑Back at a Bargain

First up on Leeds’ wishlist is 32‑year‑old Spanish left‑back Alex Moreno, currently with Aston Villa. He spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, making 19 appearances.
Leeds have already made contact with Villa reports suggest Moreno is available for about £5 million.
Both Burnley and several La Liga clubs have asked about him too. Moreno is seen as a smart signing, experienced in defence and attack, and great value for money.
Habib Diarra: Midfield Engine with Flair

Next is the young French talent Habib Diarra. The 21‑year‑old was captain at Strasbourg, helping them finish top seven and qualify for the Europa Conference League.
He scored four goals and set up five more in 33 games, showing he can play both attacking midfielder and deeper roles. Diarra is valued at around £22 million (€26 m), and is thought to be keen on a Premier League move.
Leeds see him as a dynamic box‑to‑box player who could slot alongside Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka.
Jaka Bijol: Defensive Wall from Serie A

Leeds are also eyeing Jaka Bijol, a 26‑year‑old centre-back from Udinese. The Slovenian international made 37 appearances in Serie A last season and is valued between £18–19 million.
Leeds reportedly had one bid rejected but remained ready to meet Udinese’s asking price. Bijol also has interest from giants AC Milan and Juventus, so Leeds may need to act fast.
His height, strength and international experience make him a potential key figure in defence.
Why the Triple Deal Matters
Leeds’ bold summer plan isn’t just about signing stars, it’s about building a strong, balanced squad for the rigours of top‑flight football.
Adding a veteran full-back like Moreno, a vibrant midfield leader in Diarra, and a hardened defender in Bijol would significantly boost squad depth.
Farke’s side will need quality all over to survive in the Premier League and this triple strategy shows ambition and intent.
What Happens Next?
Leeds have made formal enquiries for Moreno and are working on moves for Diarra and Bijol.
Money appears ready to be spent, though Leeds have been slow to begin compared to some rivals.
With Premier League survival a key goal, the upcoming weeks will be crucial. If Leeds can pull off all three signings, they’ll start the season much stronger.
Leeds United’s potential triple transfer could be a game‑changer. Bringing in Moreno, Diarra and Bijol would add experience, youth and solidity across the pitch.
As the window opens fully, all eyes will be on Elland Road will Leeds land their dream deals and secure Premier League safety?
