Leeds United\u2019s hunt for a new striker is gathering pace ahead of the new Premier League season, with reports suggesting that the club could move for a target of former head coach Jesse Marsch. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Joel Piroe continued his impressive form<\/a> with another goal in Leeds\u2019 pre-season campaign, as they registered a 1-1 draw with Villarreal<\/a> at Elland Road. <\/p>\n

With just one friendly against AC Milan<\/a> remaining before the new season, Daniel Farke will be keen to see a new striker arrive at the club soon, after Leeds missed out on a deal for winger Igor Paixao<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds have been persistently linked with Rodrigo Muniz<\/a>; however, they face competition for his signature from Newcastle United<\/a>, who look set to lose Aleksandr Isak. <\/p>\n

Now, according to a report in France, Leeds are considering a move for Stade Rennais striker Arnaud Kalimuendo, who was the subject of a \u00a317 million bid from Leeds <\/a>under former head coach Jesse Marsch.<\/p>\n

Leeds missed out on the signing of Kalimuendo under Jesse Marsch<\/a>, as the former PSG man elected to move to Brittany to join Stade Rennais. <\/p>\n

However, according to Sport.FR<\/a>, Kalimuendo will leave Rennes this summer and is likely to secure a move to the Premier League for a fee of around \u00a327 million (30 million euros). Leeds are one of three clubs monitoring the striker.<\/p>\n

The report states: \u201cFollowing AC Milan\u2019s interest, several English clubs have also considered his name. Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are keen on his profile, but Brentford appear to be on the offensive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before continuing: \u201cThe Breton club hopes to recoup around \u20ac30 million from the deal. Having scored 18 goals and provided four assists in 34 matches last season, Kalimuendo could find a new home in the Premier League.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leeds have had some success bringing former Rennes players to the club in recent years, with both Raphinha and Georgino Rutter<\/a> spending time at the club before moving to Elland Road. <\/p>\n

With Les Rouges et Noirs set to demand a \u00a327 million fee for the striker, Leeds would need to be willing to make one of the biggest transfer outlays in their history to secure his signature. <\/p>\n\nRank<\/td>\nLeeds\u2019 Record Transfer Fees<\/td>\nTotal Fee (GBP)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1<\/td>\nGeorgino Rutter<\/td>\n\u00a335 million<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2<\/td>\nBrenden Aaronson<\/td>\n\u00a329 million<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n3<\/td>\nRodrigo Moreno<\/td>\n\u00a327 million<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n4<\/td>\nDaniel James<\/td>\n\u00a325 million<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n5<\/td>\nLuis Sinisterra<\/td>\n\u00a321 million<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

According to Transfermarkt<\/a>, Rutter is Leeds\u2019 record signing, when Marsch paid just over 40 million euros, or around \u00a335 million, to sign the forward from Hoffenheim. <\/p>\n

Brenden Aaronson<\/a> is second on the list, having cost 32.84 million euros, or \u00a329 million. Kalimuendo would join Rodrigo Moreno<\/a> in joint-third on the list, should Leeds elect to pull the trigger on his signing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United\u2019s hunt for a new striker is gathering pace ahead of the new Premier League season, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,104391,1860,100,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-314682","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-jesse-marsch","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-transfer-news","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114965132665276604","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
