Promoted or not, Leeds United would have been busy this summer but a return to the Premier League should be the catalyst for an exciting few months at Elland Road. Monday’s 6-0 thumping of Stoke City, coupled with Sheffield United’s defeat at Burnley, booked the Whites’ top-flight spot for next season and proved the catalyst for transfer talk to kick into gear.
Leeds aren’t yet a week into being a 2025/26 Premier League outfit but already, reports are emerging of their summer plans and possible targets. Daniel Farke has already spoken about being backed and 49ers Enterprises will be expected to spend, with reinforcements needed across the board.
There are also a few current squad members facing uncertain futures in West Yorkshire, while a host of on-loan Whites will also need to be assessed. And with all that in mind, the YEP has rounded up the latest on every transfer story so far ahead of the summer window opening on June 1.
7. Manor Solomon
Leeds confirmed in early July that Solomon would return to parent club Tottenham Hotspur, where for a while he looked set to remain. Recent reports suggest he could now leave and wide reinforcements remain a priority at Elland Road, although no fresh links have emerged. | Getty Images
8. Jack Harrison
Looks set to remain a Leeds player for the upcoming season, with no links to any kind of exit before Monday's deadline. Farke labelled the winger 'pretty important to our group' earlier this week and said he didn't expect a move away. | Getty Images
9. Joe Gelhardt
Another who Leeds had hoped to get between £3-4m for but he has since joined Hull City on loan. Thought to have made clear his desire to return to the MKM Stadium where he played regularly during the second-half of last season. | Getty Images
10. Largie Ramazani
The Athletic reported earlier this summer the winger had rejected approaches from a number of European clubs, but this week he joined Valencia on loan. The deal is a straight loan with no permanent option. Ramazani came off the bench to get an assist on his debut on Friday evening. | Ben Roberts Photo/Getty Images Photo: Ben Roberts Photo/Getty Images

Daniel Farke revealed while in Germany that Joseph has asked to leave, with the striker not going Germany against his manager's recommendation. Has since joined RCD Mallorca on loan, with Leeds unwilling to include any kind of permanent option. | Gary Oakley/PA Wire
12. Patrick Bamford
Left out of Leeds' pre-season tour squad and Farke revealed following the draw against Manchester United he's informed Bamford he's not in next season's plans. Leeds confirmed earlier this week a mutual agreement to cut the 31-year-old's contract short and he has now officially left. | Ryan Hiscott/Getty Images Photo: Ryan Hiscott/Getty Images
