Leeds United may have already found Glen Kamara replacement after transfer update
Leeds United have seen their midfield options altered dramatically since the start of the summer transfer window.
Of all the areas of the Whites’ squad last term, their midfield was arguably one of their strongest.
The likes of Ethan Ampadu, Archie Gray, Ilia Gruev and Glen Kamara all helped ensure that the West Yorkshire outfit’s centre of the park was safe and secure.
However, there is evidently a problem with that going into the 2024/25 season as two of the three aforementioned names have now exited the club.
Gray’s Elland Road departure was the biggest in terms of shock and monetary value.
Although it’s likely that Leeds didn’t want to see the back of their homegrown talent, it was, unfortunately, necessary for PSR reasons.
The club did receive £40million for a player who has played just one season in senior football so by all accounts, they got a fairly good deal, even if it was a tough one emotionally to see a home-grown talent depart.
Dejan Ljubicic is a must for Leeds United this summer
Kamara soon followed out of the Elland Road exit door, leaving Ampadu, Gruev and the newly-arrived Joe Rothwell as the senior midfield options.
Then on 25 July, it emerged that the West Yorkshire club had a bid rejected [Nancy Froston] for Koln midfielder Dejan Ljubicic.
Not only does this show that the Whites are on the lookout for reinforcement but it also shows that they have money to spend on improvements.
The addition of the Austria international would make a lot of sense as he is entering the final year of his contract.
Furthermore, his experience of top-flight football in Germany would no doubt be of use to the club and would perhaps help guide the younger members of the team on ways to improve.
Despite the rejected bid, Leeds remain keen on the midfielder and could well go in for another bid before the end of the window.
He could end up being a decent upgrade on Kamara. This is certainly one to keep an eye on this summer.
