Leeds United have had a bid for midfielder Dejan Ljubicic rejected by 1. FC Köln, according to Nancy Froston.
The Athletic journalist reported via X (25 July) that the Whites remain keen on the 26-year-old despite an initial rejection from the German club.

Daniel Farke is keen to add another central midfielder to his squad at Elland Road.
Leeds United and Daniel Farke want to sign Dejan Ljubicic
Supporters at Elland Road will be delighted to see that the club is trying to address a priority position for Fakre.
After missing out on promotion to the Premier League last season it was always inevitable that players would be moved on from Elland Road this summer.
As a result, the futures of several key stars remain up in the air. However, while it is important to raise some money and balance the books, the club must ensure they remain competitive next season.
Farke won’t want to miss out on promotion to the Premier League twice in a row having developed something of a reputation as an expert in guiding teams to the top flight of English football.
Therefore, he will want players added to his squad which will help the team remain competitive.
And it appears as if Ljubicic could help the Whites to do just that.
As a player with top-flight experience in Germany, Farke would no doubt welcome the midfielder to Elland Road with arms wide open.
