Sun 27 July 2025 18:00, UK <\/p>\n<p><strong>Leeds United have been highly active in the transfer window in recent weeks. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/leeds-united-to-announce-another-new-transfer-after-lucas-perri-latest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lucas Perri has now officially signed for Leeds United<\/a>, finally solving the Peacocks\u2019 issues in goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/daniel-farke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Farke<\/a> is not set to end his spending spree here, with numerous names still linked to Elland Road.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a result, <strong>MOT Leeds News<\/strong> has provided a round-up of all the latest transfer news from the past 24 hours below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

(Credit: Imago)<\/p>\n<p>Illan Meslier\u2019s future at <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leeds United<\/a> has been heavily speculated upon throughout the transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>The goalkeeper has struggled to maintain a consistent run of form, which saw him removed from the starting XI late last season. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Now, with Perri moving to <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/stadium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elland Road<\/a>, Meslier\u2019s future as a Leeds player has only become more uncertain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a result, it has been claimed that the goalkeeper will move on if an offer comes in for the 25-year-old over the next few weeks. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"

not popular among Leeds fans(Credit: Imago)<\/p>\n<p>Another potential departure this summer is Jack Harrison. <\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old is an unpopular figure at Leeds, and he spent the last two seasons on loan at Everton. <\/p>\n<p>As a result, <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/news\/leeds-fans-immediately-react-to-jack-harrison-v-man-united-in-sweden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harrison was booed against Manchester United<\/a>, with his future remaining uncertain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, it has now been claimed that Farke wants Harrison to win back the Leeds fans, which could be an indication that he is set to play a part in the upcoming season. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" loading=\"lazy\"
