“Euro Giants DESPERATE to DUMP Star Striker Leeds Crave for a SHOCKINGLY LOW £13M!”

Leeds United have secured three signings so far in the summer window, with Sebastiaan Bornauw being the latest addition following an agreement with VfL Wolfsburg.

Lukas Nmecha joined as a free agent, while former Udinese centre-back Jaka Bijol also arrived to strengthen Daniel Farke’s defensive options.

Now, the Whites have a chance to land promising Turkish striker Semih Kilicsoy in a cut-price deal.

Although the 19-year-old has a £17 million release clause, reports from Turkish outlet Fanatik (2 July) claim that Besiktas are open to selling him for around £13 million.

Kilicsoy has attracted interest from multiple clubs across Europe, including Premier League and Dutch sides, but Leeds are hopeful of winning the race for his signature as they aim to reinforce their attacking unit.

Manager Daniel Farke is seeking more support for Joel Piroe, who was Leeds’ main number nine last season.

While Piroe performed well in the Championship, questions remain over his ability to deliver consistently at Premier League level.

Nmecha’s addition adds depth up front, but his record in the Bundesliga—just three league goals last season—suggests he may need time to adjust.

Furthermore, Patrick Bamford’s future at Elland Road remains uncertain, with speculation surrounding a potential exit in the near future.

Young striker Mateo Joseph could also depart this summer, with Real Betis reportedly interested in bringing the Spanish forward back to La Liga.

To avoid a swift return to the Championship, Leeds will need to strengthen their frontline. A reliable goal scorer could be crucial in helping the newly promoted side secure safety in the top flight.

The creative burden will also fall on the shoulders of players like Daniel James and Willy Gnonto, who will be expected to step up and deliver against Premier League opposition.

So far, Adam Underwood has overseen a promising recruitment drive, but the arrival of a high-quality striker could prove decisive for Leeds’ ambitions in the 2025/26 campaign.
