The summer transfer window has been open for almost one week now and wheels are in motion at Leeds United. While much of their business is expected to take place post-World Cup, the YEP has learned of interest in a small number of potential targets including free agent Julian Brandt.
There have also been some early reports on potential exits, with interest gathering in some of Daniel Farke’s fringe players while Leeds have confirmed they are in contract talks with Karl Darlow. Chairman Paraag Marathe has stressed there will be sales this summer but it remains to be seen who will go.
A lot of summer reports have proved to be little more than speculation but among the transfer chaos, there is substance in a few links at this early point. Below, the YEP provides the latest on those stories.
7. Max Wober
Leeds confirmed earlier this summer they and Wober had mutually agreed to terminate his contract a year early. The Austrian has since signed a 12-month deal at Bundesliga outfit Schalke. | Getty Images

Gnonto was the subject of an early-summer transfer enquiry from Freiburg and more recently emerged as a target for Fiorentina. Reports have suggested a deal is agreed but the YEP understands Leeds won't sanction any exit without a replacement. According to Sky Sports, they have given Gnonto permission to travel to Italy for a medical. | Getty Images
