“49ers in SHOCKING Blockbuster Talks to Snag ‘Absolutely Sensational’ Star BEGGING for Leeds Move!”

Leeds United are gearing up for a return to the Premier League and may be close to securing their first signing of the summer, according to recent reports.

Leeds United Eye Top-Flight Return

After narrowly missing out through the playoffs last season, manager Daniel Farke has now guided Leeds to the Championship title.

With promotion sealed, attention turns to the challenges of maintaining Premier League status.

Farke is reportedly set to have a transfer budget exceeding £100 million, which could be key in building a squad capable of avoiding relegation.

While spending doesn’t always guarantee success—recently promoted Ipswich Town being a cautionary example—Leeds are determined to avoid a similar fate.

Their strategy appears to blend smart investment with experience, as they look to make a strong statement in the transfer market.

One of the club’s top targets is former fan-favourite Kalvin Phillips. Internal discussions have taken place regarding a potential move to bring the Manchester City midfielder back to Elland Road.

Although a deal would be complex, Phillips’ return would significantly strengthen the squad both on and off the pitch.

Another name under consideration is Brighton’s Evan Ferguson. The young forward has Premier League experience and could thrive in the right system, despite recent injury setbacks.

His youth and potential may make him an ideal long-term addition if the terms are right.

Veteran strikers Callum Wilson and Jamie Vardy have also been floated as possible free agent options to lead the line.

However, whether either would fit into Leeds’ wage structure remains uncertain. Still, their top-flight pedigree could offer short-term value and leadership.

Attacking Midfield Reinforcement a Priority

While the club is keen on adding firepower up front, they are also prioritizing support from deeper positions.

Leeds and their ownership group, the 49ers, have intensified efforts to sign a creative attacking midfielder to link up play and provide service for their strikers.

One target stands out—Aston Villa’s Emiliano Buendia. According to Graeme Bailey of TBR, Leeds have already held discussions over a potential transfer.

Buendia spent part of the season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen and is reportedly open to a move back to England, particularly to work again under Farke, who managed him at Norwich City.

Buendia, once described as “delightful” by Dean Smith, netted five goals in 34 appearances across all competitions last season.

Injuries have hampered his consistency, but a fresh start at Leeds could help him recapture his best form.

Earlier this week, reports emerged that Leeds are preparing a bid of around £16.8 million for the 28-year-old Argentine.

If successful, this deal could represent a significant coup and provide Farke’s squad with Premier League-proven quality as they aim to establish themselves in the top flight.
