Leeds United join £43m forward race after growing impatient with Rodrigo Muniz
Leeds United simply have to sign forwards to bolster their ranks ahead of the Premier League in 2025/26, including a striker and a winger.
They have come up short in a number of areas and Daniel Farke wants a new-look forward line ahead of the Premier League. Speaking post-match against AC Milan, the Leeds United boss explained his thoughts.
Beren Cross of The Athletic quoted Farke: “We have replaced Joseph and Bamford with Nmecha, a free agent, but we have lost Solomon, one of our key players. In comparison to our Championship squad, we have not improved in the offence.”
Rodrigo Muniz hope remains for Leeds, but they are also in the market for a winger after the public pursuit of Igor Paixao. A new name has since emerged in the wide attacking areas.
They haven’t given up hope yet and there have been signs of positive progress over striking a deal for Muniz made in the last few weeks, with Atalanta out of the Muniz race.
It’s good news for the Whites, amid Graham Smyth believing Leeds will sign Muniz at some stage in the current window. However, the latest states there is impatience building at the club regarding the Brazilian centre-forward.
The latest comes from The Yorkshire Evening Post, with Smyth stating: “Their patience in waiting for Rodrigo Muniz to become available is weighed against the amount of time left in the window.”
