Leeds United transfer rumours as Cardiff City boss Steve Morison asks Cody Drameh to return

Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Monday, 9 May.

Cardiff City keen on Cody Drameh return

Having finished their Championship campaign, Cardiff City manager Steve Morison has revealed he has already asked Leeds United loanee Cody Drameh to stay with the club. Drameh joined Cardiff on loan in January and has become a fans' favourite in a short space of time.

In their season finale against Derby County on Saturday, the Bluebirds signed off with a 1-0 win, in which Drameh was serenaded by Cardiff's travelling fans.

"Cody Drameh, we want you to stay!" boomed the Cardiff away end after the 20-year-old produced another fine performance.

"Trust me, I have asked him to stay!" Morison told WalesOnline.

"Cody, I love the kid," he added. "He said to me as we were walking off, 'Thanks for keeping your word'. I was like, 'I said you'd play, where you would play and how you would play'. He said ever since the presentation he knew he wanted to be a part of it.

"I said to him, 'Go on now and reach where you need to reach, because you're on the way now'. I am really, really pleased for him."

It would seem unlikely that Leeds would let Drameh leave on a permanent transfer given their lack of resources behind first choice starter Luke Ayling. Additionally, should Leeds get relegated, Drameh has already proven he can mix it in the Championship.

If Leeds do survive, a loan move back to Cardiff for another season would not be too bad a decision, giving him valuable minutes to continue his development.

Raphinha clause latest

Leeds United star Raphinha could be on his way to the Camp Nou to join Barcelona this summer for just £25m should the Whites get relegated from the Premier League.

That is according to FourFourTwo, who say a clause in the Brazilian's contract could lead to Leeds losing the winger this summer. There have been rumours and reports aplenty surrounding the 25-year-old, who's agent is former Barcelona midfielder Deco.

However, FourFourTwo also report that Leeds hope he will stay at Elland Road, and are confident that they could convince the Brazilian to stay should they secure survival.
