Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has been warned after making demands to the 49ers.<\/strong><\/p>\n Farke\u2019s side won the Championship title<\/a> on the final day, separating them from Burnley and Sunderland.<\/p>\n However, Burnley and Sunderland have spent more than the Pecocks heading into the Premier League season.<\/p>\n The Whites\u2019 boss made his feelings clear to the 49ers<\/a> in a public statement in pre-season, but will they grant him his wish?<\/p>\n This article contains exclusive comments from Dr Dan Plumley on MOT Leeds News<\/p>\n Farke makes Leeds United transfer demands<\/strong><\/p>\n Farke fired a stark transfer warning after Leeds\u2019 draw with AC Milan<\/a>, demanding more signings in Yorkshire.<\/p>\n Now, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the latest Elland Road addition<\/a>, meaning the hierarchy have been listening to Farke<\/a>.<\/p>\n Football finance expert Dan Plumley<\/a> has weighed in on the Peacocks\u2019 spending and what the German said.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, it is, and I guess you\u2019ve got to be careful with that,\u201d he exclusively told MOT Leeds News<\/strong> when asked if Farke is putting pressure on the 49ers to meet his demands.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve seen it backfire, and it\u2019s obviously aggressive tactics, and I understand that Leeds have spent money, they haven\u2019t spent as much as the other two promoted clubs on a pound-for-pound basis, but they\u2019ve got a far better squad cost-wise, and being in the Premier League recently than Sunderland have.<\/p>\n \u201cBurnley are in a similar boat, so if you\u2019re looking at him against the two other clubs that have come up, it might be there that you feel like you\u2019ve got to put that little bit of pressure on, but you have got to be careful as well within that as a manager because you\u2019ve got to play that political game with it as well. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd, I\u2019m sure every manager would want more signings, but it doesn\u2019t always play out that way, so it seems he\u2019s trying to put the pressure on a little bit, but you have got to manage that, and expectations within the club as well linked to the owners and ultimately what they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Leeds](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/daniel-farke-1-1024x683.jpg\")
