        "content": "Here\u2019s a roundup of the **most credible Leeds United transfer rumours** as we enter the final stretch of the Summer 2026 window (with it closing on **1 September 2026**, 11pm BST) ([squawka.com](https://www.squawka.com/en/transfers/leeds-united/?utm_source=openai)). These are broken into: Incomings most likely to happen, Outgoings that seem probable, and a few wildcard possibilities.\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Likely Incomings\n\nThese are players Leeds seem most actively pursuing \u2014 links backed by multiple sources, some with contract/medical stages already underway:\n\n| Player | Position | Club | Status & Likelihood |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **Michael Zetterer** | GK | Eintracht Frankfurt | Leeds and Frankfurt have agreed on a fee of ~\u20ac5m; Zetterer is in Leeds to talk terms. Deal seems near completion. ([transferping.com](https://www.transferping.com/transfers/clubs/leeds?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Julian Brandt** | Attacking Mid / Wide | \u2013 | Reported as a target; Leeds have received a \u201cmajor boost\u201d in their pursuit. Potential late-window arrival. ([fourfourtwo.com](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/transfer/leeds-united-receive-major-boost-in-julian-brandt-transfer-pursuit-report?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Igor Paix\u00e3o** | Winger | Marseille | Leeds are interested, though price (~\u20ac50m) is considered steep. Doors may be open if an agreement is found. ([transferping.com](https://www.transferping.com/transfers/clubs/leeds?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## \u274c Likely Departures / Outgoings\n\nThese exits look increasingly solid given club statements or reporting trends:\n\n| Player | Position | Likely Destination | Status |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **Wilfried Gnonto** | Winger | Fiorentina | Leeds are in talks, and a loan or permanent deal is being considered. ([football-transfer.news](https://www.football-transfer.news/trends/2026-08-30-club-leeds-united?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Largie Ramazani** | Winger | West Ham (or other interested clubs) | Strong external interest; Leeds prefer a permanent sale rather than loan. ([football-transfer.news](https://www.football-transfer.news/trends/2026-08-30-club-leeds-united?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Lucas Perri** | Goalkeeper | Torino | Officially a loan move with option to buy has been agreed. ([football-transfer.news](https://www.football-transfer.news/trends/2026-08-30-club-leeds-united?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Near-misses / Stalled Rumours\n\nSome rumoured transfers seem less likely now, due to pricing, competition, or club positions:\n\n- **Shea Charles**: Leeds\u2019 interest is reported, but it seems there\u2019s a \u201cstalemate\u201d in negotiations. The club may be targeting other areas instead. ([leedsunitedfcnews.co.uk](https://leedsunitedfcnews.co.uk/news/leeds-united-tracking-three?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Mykhailo Mudryk (Chelsea)**: Leeds were reportedly interested in a loan deal, but a bid has already been rejected. Could still resurface, though chances appear slim. ([leedsunitedfcnews.co.uk](https://leedsunitedfcnews.co.uk/news/leeds-united-transfer-plans?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83e\udde0 What Leeds Still Need, and Their Window Goal\n\nAccording to multiple reports, Leeds are aiming to fill at least **one signing per position** in four critical areas: winger, striker, defender, goalkeeper. ([leedsunitedfcnews.co.uk](https://leedsunitedfcnews.co.uk/news/leeds-united-transfer-plans?utm_source=openai)) Their earlier big signings\u2014James Trafford (\u00a340m, record), Tarik Muharemovi\u0107, Nico Elvedi\u2014have addressed some gaps ([squawka.com](https://www.squawka.com/en/transfers/leeds-united/?utm_source=openai)), but depth remains an issue.\n\n- Goalkeepers: With Meslier and Darlow gone, bringing in another GK beyond Trafford (e.g. Zetterer) is essential. ([leedsunitedfcnews.co.uk](https://leedsunitedfcnews.co.uk/news/leeds-united-tracking-three?utm_source=openai))  \n- Attack: Gnonto and Ramazani departing suggests Leeds want at least one strong winger or forward to back them up. Brandt and Paix\u00e3o are central in this. ([transferping.com](https://www.transferping.com/transfers/clubs/leeds?utm_source=openai))  \n- Defence: With Struijk sold, they have bought Muharemovi\u0107 and Elvedi. Additional cover or another defensive arrival seems less pressing, but good value could sway them. ([leedsunited.com](https://www.leedsunited.com/en/news/summer-2026-leeds-united-transfers-ins-and-outs?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can dig into **realistic price ranges** and **which deals are most likely to hit the wire on deadline day** for Leeds."
