Manor Solomon U-turn on cards at Leeds United as he agrees new transfer

Manor Solomon could become a permanent Leeds United signing in the summer transfer window.

Leeds United will now be fully focused on work behind the scenes as they prepare for life back in the Premier League under Daniel Farke.

Recruitment is going to be crucial, and a whole host of players have already been linked with a move to Elland Road ahead of a summer that is going to be crucial.

One of those to have been linked is Solomon on a permanent deal, with the latest update serving as a twist in the race to sign him.

Leeds return on the cards for Solomon

Solomon was an influential figure in Leeds’ promotion from the Championship, and his continued form throughout the season has attracted interest from several clubs.

The 25-year-old was said to have given the green light to a Marseille transfer [Sky Sports], but according to James Marshment, there may yet be another twist.

Writing via X, the journalist claims that Solomon remains open to a permanent Leeds switch despite the links to Ligue 1.

Leeds remain keen on signing him this summer, though they will likely have to at least match the offer proposed by the French giants to seal a deal.

Farke needs to be backed this summer

Leeds will have to toe the PSR line very carefully this summer, while also ensuring that Farke has access to a squad that is capable of serving in the Premier League.

A budget of £150m has been mooted for Leeds this window, and it is imperative that they spend that money well.

Solomon, after such an impressive spell in the Championship, would be an excellent start to that recruitment, but there promises to be more twists along the way in the race to win his signature.

These next few months are going to be crucial for the Whites, and they will be afforded no margin for error.
