The 6 January transfer deals Leeds United are predicted to complete including Inter and Bologna moves
Leeds United are expected to be active during the January transfer window.
The January transfer window is now around seven weeks away and Leeds United are expected to be active as they look to boost Daniel Farke’s squad in a bid to remain in the Premier League.
The Whites are currently sitting one point and two places above the relegation zone following their defeat at Nottingham Forest prior to the international break and will aim to return to winning ways when they host Aston Villa at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.
With a challenging set of fixtures lying in wait as the season makes its way towards the always crucial festive period, the importance of a positive January transfer window can not be underplayed and there have already been several players from across the Premier League and abroad linked with a move to Elland Road in recent weeks. But who could be added to Farke’s ranks ahead of the second half of the season and which players could see their Leeds United careers brought to an end?
We take to AI tool Grok3 to see how it predicts Leeds United will function during the January transfer window.
Who are Leeds United predicted to sell in the January transfer window?
Illan Meslier (£4m to Inter)
Grok3: “Both Inter and AC Milan are monitoring the 25-year-old. With his contract expiring in 2026, Leeds will cash in to fund attacking reinforcements rather than risk a free exit.”
Wilfried Gnonto (£10m to Bologna)
Grok3: “Italian sides are circling the 22-year-old amid his inconsistent output and injury concerns. A homecoming move suits all parties, freeing wages and squad space for more reliable wide options.”
Joe Gelhardt (£3m permanent move to Hull City)
Grok3: “Hull's desire for a full transfer of the loanee aligns with Leeds' willingness to sell the 23-year-old, who's fallen down the pecking order. This low fee provides a quick cash injection without disrupting the core.”
Who are Leeds United predicted to sign in the January transfer window?
Troy Parrott (£10m from AZ Alkmaar)
Grok3: “Parrott's recent hat-trick for Ireland has reignited Leeds' summer interest in the ex-Tottenham youth product. At 23, he's thriving in the Eredivisie and fits Farke's high-pressing system perfectly as a mobile number nine to address the goalscoring drought. AZ's modest valuation makes this a smart, low-risk coup.”
Josh Sargent (£12m from Norwich City)
Grok3: “Sargent could be prised away from Norwich as a direct upgrade on current forwards like Joel Piroe. His aerial prowess and work rate align with Leeds' set-piece strengths, and a January sale would suit Norwich's budget.”
Piotr Zielinski (loan with an option to buy from Inter)
Grok3: “Inter's willingness to offload the 31-year-old Pole in 2026 opens the door for a short-term boost to Leeds' midfield depth. His vision and passing would elevate Farke's engine room, especially if promotion hopes fade.”
