Leeds, who just lost Crysencio Summerville to West Ham, are now trying to add players to help them recover.
Daniel Farke now has more money to spend in the transfer market as the Dutchman heads to the London Stadium, and one target is tempted to join Elland Road after a bid was made.
So, who is now considering a relocation to Leeds? Let us have a look.
Dejan Ljubicic is tempted to join Leeds.
According to BILD in Germany, Dejan Ljubicic is now assessing his options after getting an offer from Leeds.
According to the German news outlet, FC Koln wants a “mega” deal to transfer the Austria international, albeit this might only be in the range of £8 million to £10 million as he enters the final year of his contract.
It comes after Leeds’ €4 million (£3.4 million) proposal for Ljubicic was rejected by FC Koln at the end of July, as the 2.Bundesliga club attempted to lock him down to a new contract.
However, BILD makes it appear that the Austrian’s attention has been drawn to Leeds.
Interestingly, the story suggests that Red Bull’s engagement at Elland Road may help discussions due to the franchise’s influence in German football.
Ljubicic, who was recently compared to David Beckham, began the 2024/25 season in fine style on Friday, assisting in the 2.Bundesliga opening against Hamburger SV.
It comes after the FC Koln No. 7 recorded two assists in 26 Bundesliga games last season.
Austrians would bring lots of class to Elland Road.
Leeds fans adore players with exceptional technical skill, such as Pablo Hernandez, who excelled at Elland Road during his four-year tenure.
In Ljubicic, Farke could hire his own magician.
The 26-year-old was not compared to Beckham for nothing, as he has exceptional technical skill with his right foot. Take a look at the massive strike below as an illustration of his excellent technique.
Keep an eye on this scenario – as previously said, Ljubicic has already entered the final 12 months of his contract with FC Koln, therefore the German club may explore a sale, or else they risk losing him for nothing in 2025.
