While an estimated 300,000 jubilant fans lined the streets on Monday to celebrate their success, the hard work behind the scenes at establishing Leeds as a Premier League club is already long since underway.<\/p>\n
And with the club having, wisely as it turns out, negated the chance to strengthen their squad in January, will have a sizeable budget to help establish themselves back among the elite and avoid an instant return to the second tier.<\/p>\n
To that end, Football Insider<\/a> reports that Farke and Underwood will be granted funds of around \u00a3150m to spend this summer, though more money could yet be freed up by some departures too.<\/p>\n DON\u2019T MISS<\/strong>\u00a0\u26aa\ud83d\udfe1\ud83d\udd35\u00a0Leeds United most expensive signings: Top 10 revealed before crucial summer spending<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n As part of that plan, it\u2019s also claimed Whites boss Farke is \u2018lining up\u2019 deals for as many as 10 new players this summer, with the priorities being goalkeeper, a striker, a No.10 and potentially a new left-back and centre-half. The rest of the signings, with the club working on two plans all year depending on the division they would ultimately end up in, is already considered a work in progress.<\/p>\n Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post<\/a> earlier this week, chairman Paraag Marathe stated:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m really excited about collaborating with Daniel, with Robbie Evans, who we promoted to managing director, with Adam Underwood, who we promoted to sporting director, and together, we are going to build the best squad that we can with every penny that we\u2019re allowed to spend to go and compete in the Premier League.\u201d<\/p>\n Marathe has also confirmed that players will likely have to leave this summer and that big-money sales are not out the window altogether.<\/p>\n \u201cYour speculation is probably right \u2013 it\u2019s going to be a mix of inbounds along with outbounds,\u201d he told\u00a0BBC Radio Leeds<\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s probably accurate. We are looking at maximising what we can do, that involves the whole bag.\u201d<\/p>\n GO DEEPER<\/strong>\u00a0\u26aa\ud83d\udfe1\ud83d\udd35\u00a0The dream Leeds Utd XI to ensure Prem survival, boosted by double Liverpool signing<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The six players Leeds plan to build their Premier League side around<\/strong><\/p>\n While all six of the teams last promoted to the Premier League have all suffered immediate relegation to the second tier, Leeds are very much aware of the challenges they face next season and the huge task that awaits them in simply trying to stay up.<\/p>\n However, it\u2019s understood that Farke and Co feels they have a core of six players who are already at Premier League quality and whom they plan to build their side around. And the players in question are Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, Ao Tanaka, Ethan Ampadu, Dan James and Manor Solomon \u2013 with the latter expected to become their first signing of the summer with talks over a permanent move from Tottenham Hotspur already underway and sources revealing the move has already been given a significant green light<\/a>.<\/p>\n Despite plans to spend \u00a3150m this summer, former West Brom boss Tony Mowbray feels the Whites may need a minimum \u00a3200m investment to ensure their survival back among the elite.<\/p>\n Speaking after their 1-1 draw at Elland Road in March,\u00a0Mowbray told\u00a0Birmingham Live<\/a>:\u00a0\u201c(Leeds) are very, very good. I\u2019m sure in my mind they are going up, I think for this football club it\u2019s about what they do in the summer. I had a chat with Daniel, how much are they going to spend? How are they going to survive?<\/p>\n \u201cSouthampton and Leicester were amazing teams last year in this league and they can\u2019t win a game. So is that going to be Leeds next year?!<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s always this thing at the back of your mind \u2013 \u2018what are we going to do in the summer?\u2019 Are Leeds going to spend \u00a3200m just to give themselves half a chance?<\/p>\n \u201cOr are they going to go with this team and probably get relegated by February? I don\u2019t know the answers.\u201d<\/p>\n Latest Leeds transfer news: First three exits revealed; Argentina defender targeted<\/strong><\/p>\n Leeds, meanwhile, are looking into the signing of Leonardo Balerdi<\/a>, sources have confirmed to TEAMtalk, though could struggle to convince the defender to leave his current club for a potential Premier League relegation battle.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, with the Whites planning wholesale changes to their squad, the likely first three players due to depart have come to light<\/a>.<\/p>\n With Leeds seeking a new goalkeeper, one man who could fill that position is\u00a0Caoimhin Kelleher. Now\u00a0Liverpool have named their final price for the Irishman to leave this summer<\/a>, with his suitors Newcastle, Bournemouth, Leeds and Chelsea all learning his likely next destination.<\/p>\n
