Leeds United add £20m Brazilian to summer shortlist after Man City made a move to sign him

Leeds United continue to be linked with new players every day and the latest said to be on the radar is one that Daniel Farke wanted at Elland Road before the start of the 2024-25 season.

Just this week, West Ham right-back Vladimir Coufal’s agents have spoken to Leeds and Liverpool star Konstantinos Tsimikas has been touted as a £15m signing. Premier League players are being linked.

It is quite clear from the players linked so far, even at this early stage, that The 49ers want to sign Premier League players that have proven themselves in the top tier. But Leeds’ scouting network goes further.

Ao Tanaka, Ilia Gruev, Isaac Schmidt and others have joined Leeds during Daniel Farke’s reign having come in from overseas. Now, LeedsUnited.News have been told of another potential incoming star.

Leeds United add Brazilian ace Gabriel Sara to summer shortlist

Last summer, then-Norwich star Sara was strongly linked with a move to Elland Road. But it didn’t come off and Sara made a move that won’t be to the liking of Leeds fans – Sara joined Turkish side Galatasaray.

With no allegiance to Leeds, Sara made the move. Now, Leeds could make the controversial decision to do business with the SuperLig giants. Graeme Bailey has told LeedsUnited.News that Leeds want Sara.

“He’s [Sara] on the radar. Leeds have looked at him. You know, they knew all about him at Norwich, etc. He was fantastic. He’s not going to be cheap. We know that. But he’s an option out there,” he said.

Manchester City also have Gabriel Sara on their summer list

If Sara sparkled at Norwich in his final season before his £20m departure to Turkey, he has starred in the SuperLig. With the Canaries, Sara was more of an attacking midfielder while now, he’s sitting deeper.
