It’s been a relatively quiet week inside Elland Road with little palpable transfer progress since Jaka Bijol’s Monday arrival. Leeds United paid £15million to land their top defensive target nice and early but things aren’t expected to fully kick into gear until July - which has come around quickly.
Leeds’ transfer activity is expected to kick into gear from next week onwards with known interest in the likes of Lille left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise midfielder Noah Sadiki and Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz. There have also been reports surrounding a huge number of other players, albeit some have proven to be wide of the mark.
It’s already been a busy summer of transfer links and things are only expected to get busier. And so to keep you in the loop going into July, the YEP has the latest on every transfer story below.
1. Illan Meslier
The YEP reported earlier this summer that interest in the French goalkeeper was starting to ramp up, albeit no firm offers are thought to have been received yet.

2. Junior Firpo
The defender's exit was officially confirmed in early July and he has since signed a three-year deal at Real Betis. The YEP understands an offer from Leeds is on the table which represented a pay rise on his Championship wage but a reduction on what he earned when arriving from Barcelona. | Getty Images
3. Max Wober
Told Austrian media during the June international break that Leeds want to sell him and has since joined Werder Bremen on loan. Decision came with Leeds unlikely to break even on his roughly £5m book value, which would mean a PSR loss. | Getty Images
4. Isaac Schmidt
Joined Werder Bremen on loan for the campaign having played just over an hour of Championship football last season. The Bundesliga side have an option to buy for around £3.5m. | George Wood/Getty Images Photo: George Wood/Getty Images

Impressed on loan at Plymouth Argyle but is could be sold, with Leeds hoping to raise funds by trimming the fat of their squad. The YEP understands Leeds hope to get between £3-4m for the midfielder. | Getty Images
