Leeds United star wanted by 7x Champions League winners with exit set
Leeds United have an eventful summer transfer window ahead as they plan to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Daniel Farke guided the Whites back to the top flight after a 100-point campaign in the Championship.
He has been given the backing by chairman Paraag Marathe as the 49ers will be trusting the German to navigate through the 2025/26 season.
AC Milan eye Junior Firpo as Igli Tare era begins
AC Milan, the seven-time Champions League winners, announced on Monday that Igli Tare will be joining as the sporting director.
According to Calciomercato, one of the priorities is to sign a new left-back this summer.
It’s understood that Junior Firpo is liked by the Milan hierarchy, so a move to San Siro could be on the cards for him.

| Championship | 32 | 4 | 10 |
They are watching the situation closely to see if he will be the right fit for the club going forward.
Regardless of Theo Hernandez’s future, they are willing to take a punt on the Dominican Republic international.
The 28-year-old has been a first-team regular at Elland Road but will be leaving once his contract runs out this summer.
Leeds United have plenty of areas to strengthen this summer
Leeds must prioritise signing a quality right-back, left-back, midfielder, goal scorer and goalkeeper this summer to bolster their squad for a Championship promotion push.
Their current full-backs have shown inconsistency, necessitating reliable, dynamic options to solidify the flanks.
In midfield, despite Ethan Ampadu’s versatility and Ilia Gruev and Ao Tanaka’s consistency, a creative, box-to-box midfielder is essential to control games and support the attack, especially after losing key players like Archie Gray.
Up front, Leeds’ over-reliance on Joel Piroe highlights the need for a clinical goal scorer to convert chances in tight matches.
Additionally, Illan Meslier’s lapses in concentration underline the need for a dependable goalkeeper to provide stability.
With the Premier League’s demanding schedule, Leeds must act swiftly, securing most, if not all, of these signings before the season starts to ensure cohesion and maximise their chances of staying in the top flight.
