Leeds United are already onto their next target with Stuttgart's Ermedin Demirovic being lined up.

With James Trafford destined for Elland Road from Manchester City, the 49ers Enterprises aren't messing around.

Daniel Farke still wants another striker in his squad, and that's where Demirovic comes in.

Leeds are spending big money already this summer, but they are making it back too with several sales.

Trafford could take spending past £80million, but they are far from done there.

Demirovic has been linked with LS11 for years now, and it could be about to finally happen for both parties.

What do we know about Ermedin Demirovic and Leeds?

MOT Leeds News covered reports that Demirovic was liked by Leeds again back in May after links in 2025.

Now, reports have resurfaced again in Germany.

Dennis Bayer of Sky Sports has stated that Leeds are among those highly interested in Demirovic.

Weirdly, there is a split in the Stuttgart boardroom, with some open to sell and others wanting him to stay.

#Sky Info: #Demirovic Zukunft offen. Interesse groß: u.a. #Juve, #Leeds und #Fener dran. Noch nichts konkret. #Hoeneß offen für Verkauf. #Bosse wollen ihn lieber halten. #Medo will gerne beim #VfB bleiben. Letzte 2 Saisons min 20 Scorer@SkySportDE @berger_pj pic.twitter.com/SVjl1qvav0

Demirovic himself is happy enough to stay with Stuttgart.

Leeds United link could see Ermedin Demirovic change his mind

Tarik Muharemovic became Leeds' second signing of the summer last week, joining for £34m from Sassuolo.

Also a Bosnian international, both went to the World Cup this summer.

After qualifying through wins over Wales and Italy, Demirovic promised to buy beers for Stuttgart fans.

Described as an "eye-watering" expected bill by Reuters, the striker likely went down in history, in more ways than one.

But, it's his actions on the pitch that will have Leeds interested.

Could Leeds revisit Ermedin Demirovic transfer as Bosnian deal lined up?

With 27 goals in the Bundesliga alone over the past two seasons, the Bosnian star knows where the back of the net is.

His physicality would match Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha, exactly like Farke wants, meaning defenders get no rest, no matter who is on the pitch.

Right now, this one looks unlikely, but even the suggestion of interest means that anything could change between now and the deadline.

Let's just leave it to agent Muharemovic.

Leeds' priority right now is getting Trafford signed up, with a new striker, midfielder and two defenders likely to follow.
