The door has been opened for Leeds United to pursue a highly-rated transfer target this summer, with fresh details increasing the chance of a deal as one Premier League club looks to raise funds to ease PSR concerns.<\/p>\n
Leeds<\/strong><\/a> are set to be active in the transfer market this summer, with Daniel Farke<\/strong><\/a> pushing for proven Premier League experience as part of an ambitious recruitment strategy.<\/p>\n Having sealed their return to the top flight with a 100-point Championship season, Leeds\u2019 hierarchy is targeting a blend of high-upside European talent and proven domestic players capable of immediately contributing<\/strong><\/a>. Attacking midfield is among the areas under review.<\/p>\n With a lack of options in central attacking areas and questions mark remaining around the suitability of Brendan Aaronson as a Premier League player, Elland Road decision-makers will have already drawn up a lengthy short list of options in the middle of the pitch, one of which is rumoured to be a familiar name to Leeds fans.<\/p>\n Aston Villa<\/strong><\/a>, who are under pressure to comply with the Profit and Sustainability Rules, are expected to offload several fringe players this summer, including a creative midfielder who previously worked under Farke at Norwich City.<\/p>\n According to reports in Germany, Emi Buendia<\/strong><\/a>, on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, will return to England at the end of the season.<\/p>\n The Bundesliga champions have reportedly opted against triggering a \u00a317 million purchase clause. He made 13 appearances in total, including just four starts, and is not part of the club\u2019s long-term plans.<\/p>\n Buendia, 28, has a long-standing relationship with Farke, having played a key role in Norwich\u2019s promotion-winning campaigns in 2019 and 2021. Leeds were linked with the Argentine in January but saw the move stall as he secured a short-term switch to Germany instead.<\/p>\n MORE LEEDS COVERAGE ON F365\u2026
