LEEDS UNITED TRANSFER NEWS
Whites Face Stiff Competition in Pursuit of Hugo Bueno
Leeds United’s quest to bolster their defensive ranks has hit a snag, as they face significant obstacles in their bid to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers’ promising left-back, Hugo Bueno.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Leeds are eager to secure Bueno’s services on a loan deal, but Wolves are hesitant to sanction the move unless the Whites can guarantee regular playing time for the 22-year-old Spaniard.
Bueno, who made 25 appearances for Wolves last season, has emerged as a top target for Leeds manager Daniel Farke, who is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the new Championship campaign.
However, with Junior Firpo currently occupying the left-back spot, Leeds cannot assure Bueno of a starting berth, prompting Wolves to explore alternative options.
Competition from Celtic and Feyenoord
Leeds face stiff competition from Scottish giants Celtic and Dutch outfit Feyenoord, both of whom are willing to offer Bueno more playing time.
Celtic, in particular, are understood to be leading the race for Bueno’s signature, with manager Brendan Rodgers keen to reinforce his squad for the upcoming Scottish Premiership season.
Farke’s Dilemma
Farke’s inability to guarantee Bueno playing time raises questions about Leeds’ transfer strategy, particularly given their Championship status.
The Whites’ failure to secure promotion last season has left them vulnerable to losing out on top targets, with Premier League clubs often prioritizing loan deals to top-flight teams.
Rowe and Rak-Sakyi Pursuit Continues
Meanwhile, Leeds continue to pursue Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe and Crystal Palace’s Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, although negotiations remain ongoing.
Rowe, 22, has attracted interest from several Championship clubs, while Rak-Sakyi, 20, is understood to be weighing up options from multiple suitors.
Transfer Window Deadline Looms
With the transfer window deadline fast approaching, Leeds must act swiftly to secure their targets and bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
Stay tuned for further updates on Leeds United’s transfer activity as the window enters its crucial final stages.
