Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Saturday, June 25.
€40million bid ‘on the way’ for Porto man
Leeds are set to table a €40million (£34.2million) bid for Porto star Otavio after having an initial €30million offer rejected, according to Portuguese outlet A Bola .
The 27-year-old featured 32 times for Porto in the Primeira Liga, scoring three goals and assisting a further 13.
Friday’s edition of the Portuguese paper suggests a ‘€40m proposal is on the way’ as the Whites look to set wheels in motion for a Raphinha replacement, should the Brazilian depart.

‘Jackpot fee’ needed for Belgian star
The Whites have been told they will need to pay a ‘jackpot fee’ if they want to sign Club Brugge and Belgium star Charles De Ketelaere, according to reports from Belgian media outlet Nieuwsblad.
The 21-year-old has been eyed by Victor Orta as another potential Raphinha successor after an outstanding season in which he managed 14 goals and seven assists in 33 Juliper Pro League matches.
But the Belgian paper claimed De Ketelaere is “going wild in the transfer market this summer” with Leicester, Atalanta and AC Milan also keen on signing him. Leeds are thought to be some way down in the pecking order, with the forward not wanting to join a bottom-half Premier League club.
Raphinha wants ‘swift conclusion’ to summer saga
Raphinha is looking for a ‘swift conclusion’ to this summer’s transfer saga, according to the Daily Mail , as growing interest looks set to spark a bidding war between clubs.
Spanish giants Barcelona look to have been priced out of a deal, making it a Premier League shootout between Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea.
The Gunners tabled the first official bid on Tuesday which was swiftly rejected - they are thought to be readying a second offer, while Spurs and Chelsea are also preparing offers.
The fight for the Brazilian’s signature is set to ignite a bidding war between the clubs, which will drive up the price for Raphinha and smash the club’s previous sale record of £30million for Rio Ferdinand in 2002.
