Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz, Facundo Buonanotte, and the Ben Doak interest.
The transfer window has just under four weeks remaining for the 49ers and Leeds United, who are continuing to look for players in the market as more serious transfer news emerges to add to their seven summer signings.
A busy end to the summer still lies ahead at Leeds as Daniel Farke looks to improve several areas of the side, with the Leeds squad getting closer to completion and feeling more ready ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.
Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Sean Longstaff, Anton Stach, and Lucas Perri have all bolstered Leeds’ ranks in recent months, meaning they are making plenty of progress but more are still set to follow.
In the meantime, with vital weeks ahead for the recruitment team and with Farke’s team in pre-season ahead of Everton visiting Elland Road, here we have taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and the biggest headlines coming out of the club.

Interest in Brighton’s Argentine playmaker Facundo Buonanotte has emerged at the same time as Leeds’ active pursuit of Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss.
We suggested Buonanotte for Leeds months ago, with the Brighton playmaker compared to Lionel Messi as well and having played alongside El Khannouss last season as well.

Sky Germany’s Patrick Berger reports that Dortmund have seen a bid rejected for Buonanotte, which perhaps opens the door for Leeds.

Leeds United’s stance on Rodrigo Muniz
Previous reports revealed that Rodrigo Muniz is the top striker target for Leeds this summer. However, nothing has yet materialised regarding the Brazilian Fulham striker.
Even if there has been positive progress over a deal for Muniz made in recent weeks, and with it reported Atalanta are unwilling to meet Muniz’s asking price, Leeds have not made recent ground on a deal for Muniz.
Fulham fans remain concerned about Muniz’s future. Other reports have reiterated Leeds’ strong stance on Muniz and their efforts to sign him should ramp up again imminently.

We suggested Leeds look to loan Liverpool winger Ben Doak over the last day or so, and the wide player has since emerged as a serious target for Leeds ahead of the deadline.
Leeds came incredibly close to landing Igor Paixao but they now need alternative targets. Beren Cross of The Athletic has revealed Doak to be one of those this summer after impressing on loan with Middlesbrough.
