Radrizzani holds trump cards regarding Raphinha's exit

Leeds Utd hold all the trump cards relating to Raphinha's future, whether it be at Elland Road or elsewhere next season. The Brazilian ace has been heavily linked with a Summer move to the Camp Nou. If the rumours are true, has already agreed personal terms with the Catalan Giants, even though he has over two years of his four year contract remaining.

Barcelona see Raphinha as the perfect replacement for Ousmane Dembélé, who will depart in the Summer, leaving a big void. Obviously, with finances tight, they don't want to part with more than what they can get away with!

How can Leeds play hard ball? Barcelona need Raphinha! He is that missing piece of the jigsaw. The longer the saga goes on, the more desperate Xavi gets. Also, Raphinha will already have one eye on the World Cup which starts in November and can't afford to be frozen out by Leeds or left on the bench to rot. This would be a risky strategy but would certainly throw a spanner in the works for Deco who may be plotting behind Leeds backs.

Daily Mirror journalist has also denied rumours this morning, that the 25yo has a buyout clause in his contract, unless of course Leeds are relegated.

Leeds to target Aaronson and Garner in the Summer

Phil Hay believes Leeds will renew their interest in RB Salzburg Midfielder Brenden Aaronson this Summer, and may also target James Garner too. Garner, 21 is a product of the Manchester Utd academy since the tender age of nine. He has played in every England age group from the Under 17's and is an exciting commodity. The central midfielder has enjoyed rave reviews from the City ground where he has spent this season.

Aaronson as we know is an attacking midfielder, and actually played under Jesse Marsch during his tenure with the Red Bull outfit. Sources from Austria claim the 21yo is keen to join Leeds in the Summer. According to Hay...

The intention is, or certainly was, to bid again for Aaronson. He’s interested in the move, he’s played under Jesse Marsch before and Salzburg are likely to be more open to bids in the summer than they were in January. It’ll be interesting to see who Leeds target. James Garner, the Manchester United midfielder who’s on loan at Nottingham Forest in the Championship and having a very good year, is someone I’ve heard mentioned recently.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

-
By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity.

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
