Leeds United are getting ready for a massive summer as the 49ers are set to give manager Daniel Farke a huge £100 million to spend on new players.
After winning the Championship and going back to the Premier League, the owners want to make sure the team doesn’t go back down again.
Chairman Paraag Marathe has confirmed Farke will stay as boss, and now the club are going all in to back him. Leeds are planning a full squad rebuild to help Farke make the team stronger for the top flight.
Leeds Want 10 New Players
Reports say Leeds are planning to bring in 10 new signings. They’re looking to add players in six key spots, including a new goalkeeper, full-back, two midfielders, a winger, and a striker. More positions could also get fresh faces.
Some current players like Joel Piroe, Patrick Bamford, and even goalkeeper Illan Meslier may not be good enough for the Premier League. So, Farke could move them on to make space for better players.
Former Manchester United scout Mick Brown said Leeds need to upgrade their squad big time if they want to stay up next season.
The club doesn’t want to end up like Southampton, Ipswich, or Leicester who all struggled after promotion.
Big Names on the List
Two big names linked to Leeds are Kalvin Phillips and Aaron Ramsdale. Kalvin is a former Leeds star and knows the club well.
Ramsdale could be a solid choice in goal if Meslier is moved on.
There are also talks about Manor Solomon. The winger did really well on loan this season and helped the team a lot in the Championship.
Leeds want to sign him for good, but other clubs like Everton also want him.
Owners Are Serious About Premier League
The 49ers Enterprises, who own Leeds, are now showing they mean business.
They don’t just want to go up. They want to stay up and compete. Giving Farke £100 million to spend is a clear sign of that.
Fans can expect some exciting transfer news in the coming weeks as the club gets ready to build a team good enough to fight in the Premier League.
