Leeds United are not messing around this summer. With the new Premier League season just around the corner, Daniel Farke and the board are making big moves.
The club has already spent over £70 million and brought in six new players.
A seventh, Lucas Perri, is almost done too. But the work is not over yet.
Leeds Want Igor Paixao, But It Won’t Be Easy
The Whites have made a big move for Igor Paixao, a winger from Dutch club Feyenoord.
Leeds have offered over £26 million for the 25-year-old, who had a great season last year.
He scored 16 goals and got 10 assists in the Eredivisie.

But Leeds aren’t the only ones who want him. Big teams like Roma and Marseille are also after Paixao.
So if Leeds manage to sign him, it will be a huge win. With Manor Solomon now back at Tottenham after his loan ended, Farke is keen to bring in a strong replacement and Paixao could be that man.
Solomon’s Future Still Not Clear
There’s still a chance that Solomon could return to Leeds. Right now, the Spurs are not sure what to do with him.
He’s been injured in pre-season, so the new manager Thomas Frank hasn’t seen much of him yet.

If Tottenham decide to sell, Leeds might try to bring him back, maybe even alongside Paixao to add more power on the wings.
Some Players Ready To Leave
While new players are arriving, some familiar faces are heading out the door. One of the big names is goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
After losing his place last season, and with Lucas Perri now coming in, Meslier could be sold.
Another player set to leave is Patrick Bamford. The striker has struggled to start games, and Farke has now told him he’s not part of the plan.
Several clubs are interested, so we could see him move very soon.
Also, young forward Mateo Joseph didn’t join the team in Germany for pre-season.
Farke said the player wants to leave, and clubs like Real Betis and Strasbourg are already showing interest.
Leeds United are clearly serious about their return to the Premier League.
With big names coming in and some players moving on, it’s going to be an exciting few weeks at Elland Road.
Keep your eyes on Paixao, if Leeds land him, it could be one of the best deals of the summer.
