Leeds United is now ready to take a step to sign a “formidable” defender if they seal the Premier League promotion, according to a recent report.

The whites still have eight games to seal their place in the Premier League for next season. Given how they have played well so far, it is planned that the Daniel Farke team will go to the end and secure promotion despite the understandable concern of the fans.

Leeds knows Aleksandar Mitrovic’s talents too well.
If they do this, this summer should be a busy period for the Yorkshire team, because they are already linked to movements for several new fields of field.
Indeed, Farke has his eyes on the strengthening of a machine room that has had its injury problems this season. According to Graeme Bailey via Leeds United News, Leeds plots to sign Kalvin Phillips on loan to Manchester City this summer after the end of his current loan at Ipswich Town.
The tractor boys seem to be unlikely to pass the midfielder to Portman Road in a permanent switch, while Pep Guardiola does not have English who presents himself in his plans in the future. Therefore, he could be in motion again this summer, and Leeds wants to sign their former midfielder again. It is said that his salary would be a stumbling block in a permanent return to Elland Road, so whites seek to conclude a loan agreement in place.

If the promotion is sealed in the high flight, the journalist Ben Jacobs said Give Me Sport that Leeds is ready to leave for defender Nico Elvedi in summerAs he is interested in the move provided they are in the elite.
Elvedi was personally wanted by Farke in January, but the player did not want to move to the championship halfway throughout the season. But since Farke knows the player of his time well at Borussia Mönchengladbach, this interest has not disappeared, and Jacobs declares that this is “ loan ” for the Premier League, and since he can play in two positions, it is an agreement that makes sense for whites.
“This is why, as I revealed a few months ago, that Nico Elvedi had slipped into Leeds’ radar. He is another player who did not want to move in mid-season, and he feels that he is ready for the Premier League rather than for the championship”, ” Jacobs said Give Me Sport.
“And, although EVEDI is more a central defender, he is a central defender and a left back and just as comfortable in the two positions. Leeds could kill two birds with a stone there and get a player capable of playing in more than one position. “”

Elvedi, who has been described as a “formidable player” of German football expert Chris Williams, is still under contract in Mönchengladbach until 2027, but it is believed that an offer of around 10 million pounds sterling could be sufficient for Leeds to strengthen his defense this summer. The potential 28 -year -old arrival would probably see him join Joe Rodon as the two main defenders of the club.
