Ipswich Town make offer for Leeds United and Leicester City target

01/07/2024 Raymond 0

Ipswich Town has reportedly made a verbal offer to Tottenham Hotspur for defender Joe Rodon, as revealed by Alasdair Gold. On the other hand, Leeds United is gearing up for another season in the Championship after finishing third last season, narrowly missing out on automatic promotion behind Ipswich Town and Leicester City. Despite a strong campaign, Daniel Farke’s side lost in the play-off final to Southampton, condemning them to another Championship campaign.

Rodon, 26, spent the previous season on loan at Leeds United, featuring prominently with 46 Championship appearances and four outings in the FA Cup. His opportunities at Spurs have been limited since the 2020/21 season, making just 15 Premier League appearances, suggesting his tenure at the club may be nearing its conclusion.

While Leeds United and Leicester City have also shown interest in the Welsh defender this summer, it is Ipswich Town that has taken the initiative with a verbal offer. Although the offer remains informal, Ipswich’s proactive approach this summer could prompt Leeds and Leicester to accelerate their pursuit of Rodon. Ipswich Town’s ambitious moves in the transfer market, including the recent signing of Omari Hutchinson, underscore their determination to strengthen the squad ahead of their upcoming season in pursuit of top-flight promotion.

Leeds United offered £5m+ by Real Betis in new Diego Llorente transfer development

30/06/2024 Raymond 0

Leeds United has received a bid of approximately £5 million from Real Betis for defender Diego Llorente, according to Il Messaggero. The Italian newspaper reported that Betis is eager to secure the former Real Madrid player’s services on a permanent basis, offering €6 million (£5.1 million) for Llorente, who spent the 2023-24 season on loan with Roma. If this transfer goes through, Llorente would join his former teammate Marc Roca, who recently completed a move to Manuel Pellegrini’s squad after a loan spell. Leeds is facing a busy transfer period, especially with the potential £40 million transfer of their young star Archie Gray to Brentford. Selling Llorente could be beneficial for Leeds, as he has been away on loan for 18 months, and the £5 million fee would help the club address financial concerns and reinvest in the team.

‘Fantastic’ Leeds United player could now reject Elland Road contract offer and join Sheffield United

Sheffield United are eyeing a move for a Leeds United player that Daniel Farke is determined to keep this summer. Following their recent relegation to the Championship, the Blades aim to assemble a squad capable of securing their third promotion in seven years, and they seem to be targeting their Yorkshire rivals in this effort. At Leeds, the focus has been on potential departures, but aside from Jack Harrison’s loan return to Everton, no significant exits have been finalized despite the transfer window being open for nearly two weeks. Marc Roca is expected to move to Real Betis soon, but no other transfers from last season’s first team squad have been confirmed.

Real Betis eye move for Leeds United defender Diego Llorente

Real Betis are actively pursuing a transfer for Leeds United defender Diego Llorente this summer, as reported by MARCA. The Spanish club’s sporting director, Manu Fajardo, is closely monitoring Llorente’s situation, waiting to see if they can compete for his transfer. Despite Leeds United’s need for defensive reinforcements, Llorente’s departure would likely not cause much concern among fans. Having spent the last 18 months on loan with Roma, the Italian club’s interest in signing him permanently has diminished. Additionally, the sale of Marc Roca to Real Betis could also benefit Leeds, as they consider offloading players following their failure to secure promotion back to the Premier League.
