Leeds United latest on Charles De Ketelaere and Mohamed Camara transfers, contracts and ownership

Leeds United face a hectic few weeks as the transfer window, pre-season and new contracts demand attention.

The Whites are anticipating finalising a new deal for Joe Gelhardt this week, at the very least, and Darko Gyabi will officially become a Leeds player as Kalvin Phillips joins Manchester City. Raphinha's ongoing transfer saga will pull focus and Jesse Marsch will take his men to Australia.

There could be incoming transfer business if Raphinha gets his move during the week, with Victor Orta poised to pull the trigger on replacements for the winger and Phillips, as well as a centre forward. The director of football has lined up several players to put Leeds in position to act as soon as the Raphinha money lands - if indeed it does. Chelsea are the highest bidder but the Brazilian remains keen on a move to Barcelona, who are yet to match the Blues' offer or their ability to pay up front.

Tyler Roberts will likely head out on loan, as well as Jamie Shackleton and one or two others.

And Marsch's international players are to return for pre-season testing at Leeds Beckett University's Carnegie School of Sport on Monday. Liam Cooper will report back and be joined by new faces Rasmus Kristensen and Brenden Aaronson as the Whites' preparations for the new season hit full stride.
