“MOT Madness: Jaw-Dropping Leeds Transfers That’ll Shock You Before the PSR Deadline!”

Leeds United, under Daniel Farke’s leadership, secured promotion from the Championship and are now set to benefit financially from their return to the Premier League.

However, with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) resulting in punishments for several clubs in recent seasons, Leeds must remain cautious not to exceed spending limits.

As the financial year draws to a close, Leeds may look to finalise a few deals before the midnight PSR deadline, and MOT Leeds News has provided a roundup of the latest updates.

Sebastiaan Bornauw set for medical

Leeds have reached an agreement to sign centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw from Wolfsburg, and the player’s medical has already been scheduled.

The club is hoping to complete the transfer before the PSR deadline, allowing the deal to be recorded in the current financial year.

Although time is tight, moving quickly could give Leeds some accounting flexibility, possibly easing their financial obligations going into the new season. Bornauw is seen as a potential defensive leader, with some likening his style to that of Harry Maguire.

Lukas Nmecha deal to be finalised after deadline

Leeds have also struck a deal to bring in Lukas Nmecha on a free transfer from Wolfsburg. Although his contract expires at midnight, his official unveiling is expected on or after July 1.

The 26-year-old former Manchester City academy graduate is making his return to English football and is expected to bolster Leeds’ midfield options.

Junior Firpo’s departure imminent

Left-back Junior Firpo’s time at Elland Road appears to be over, with his contract set to expire at midnight.

A return to Real Betis is reportedly close, and an announcement confirming his transfer could arrive by July 1. While losing Firpo without a transfer fee is disappointing, Leeds are already planning for a replacement.

Anthony Caci emerges as left-back target

One potential replacement for Firpo is Mainz defender Anthony Caci. Leeds are reportedly monitoring the Frenchman, though Mainz are keen to retain him, making a swift transfer before the PSR deadline unlikely.

Nevertheless, Caci remains a top target, and the club is expected to pursue him further during the summer.

With pre-season approaching, Farke will want key positions filled quickly to ensure new arrivals have time to adjust to Premier league demands.
