Largie Ramazani’s arrival to Leeds United is a significant step in the right direction, but the team still needs to find a replacement for Georginio Rutter before the August 30 deadline.
Ramazani is expected to make an announcement in the next few hours. The Belgian has already been photographed at Thorp Arch, receiving a medical, while sporting Leeds training gear. The £59 million addition takes Crysencio Summerville’s position.However, there is still a lot of work to be done. Summerville and Rutter need to be replaced, and Daniel Farke has expressed his desire for a midfielder and an additional full-back for depth on several occasions.
Rutter signed a club-record £59 million contract to join Brighton on Monday, leaving the team. Joel Piroe is having trouble against West Brom, which leaves Leeds lacking quality in the number ten position.
While Leeds should re-sign the player, Celtic is in talks to pay £59 million.
Scottish winners In preparation for Kyogo Furuhashi’s potential departure, Manchester City has made the Japanese player a surprise target. As a result, Celtic is in talks to recruit Mateusz Bogusz for a reported £8 million.
Although Bogusz didn’t formally leave Leeds until 2023, the Pole was already well out of the picture at Leeds, having twice gone on loan to Ibiza following a stint with Logrones, all of which took place in the second division of Spain.
Since being acquired by MLS team LAFC in the beginning of 2023, he has flourished, particularly this season. With 32 games remaining in the 2024 campaign, Bogusz has already scored an incredible 16 goals and assisted on six others.Why might Leeds consider Bogusz as a replacement for Rutter? A player who has always been very talented at Leeds but was never given the chance to establish himself is finally demonstrating his abilities.
At LAFC, Bogusz has been used as a false nine or striker. He has not only scored goals for LAFC by coming short and facilitating play, but he has also helped the team transition from midfield to attack.
Unsurprisingly, Celtic wants him and will need to pay him between £6.8 million and £8 million. Leeds could certainly do worse than to compete with Celtic and lure Bogusz back to Leeds, where he still has unresolved business.
Mateusz Klich believes he has “talent,” and according to Bogusz, Klich persuaded him to join the MLS. The 49ers ought to think about enticing him to return to Leeds, and if he follows Klich’s counsel, he will undoubtedly do so.Given that one of Leeds United’s midfield targets from the previous summer canceled his contract at his present club, Leeds United may be aware of a market opportunity.
Leeds started their late-window hiring spree with the acquisition of Largie Ramazani from UD Almeria, and they are currently searching for three more players.
Although all eyes seem to be on Georginio Rutter’s replacement, there is still interest in central midfield and full-back positions.
It’s actually crucial that Leeds find an attack-minded number eight to go with Ethan Ampadu, given Joe Rothwell was obviously brought in as depth and Ilia Gruev just doesn’t look right in that position.
The decision by Leeds to sell Glen Kamara has come under increased scrutiny recently, especially in light of the revenue generated by the sales of other players, especially after such a strong debut against Rennes.
Edouard Michut, a target for Leeds, is suddenly free.
Dejan Ljubicic of FC Koln has been the best midfield player at Elland Road this summer; Leeds rejected a £3.3 million deal for the player in July.
Leeds has not come back with a second offer, but given that Ljubicic is supposedly eager to transfer, a move cannot be completely ruled out.
