Leeds United transfer rumours as January target still on radar and Gonzalo Plata links intensify

Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Wednesday, 15 June 2022.

Leeds still following January target

Leeds United are still reportedly keeping tabs on Standard Liege midfielder Nicolas Raskin, according to La Dernière Heure. Raskin was linked with a move to Elland Road in January, with some reports even claiming the Whites had agreed a fee.

And even though that turned out to be wide of the mark, it appears as though Leeds have continued to keep an eye on his progress. Raskin has just one year remaining on his contract in Belgium, with Genk, Club Brugge and Lille all monitoring him too.

Plata deal

Leeds United are reportedly prepared to offer summer target Gonzalo Plata £35,000 a week in the hope of bringing him to Elland Road this summer. That is according to Diario de Valladolid, via Pucella Fichajes, who claim that the Whites could be ready to offer Sporting Club de Portugal more for Plata than Real Valladolid, where he spent last season on loan.

Plata scored six goals and provided five assists to help the Spanish side earn promotion back to La Liga, and Fulham are also keeping an eye on his situation. It is likely that any move from Leeds for Plata will rely on the future of Raphinha, who continues to be linked with a move away.

Minamino update

Three clubs are reportedly in talks to sign Takumi Minamino from Liverpool after the player has made intentions clear that he wants to leave. After two and a half seasons at Anfield where his opportunities have been limited, the Japan international is keen to find more regular game time elsewhere.

Leeds United have been linked with his signature since the January transfer window and rumours continue to emerge detailing the interest from Elland Road. However, they are joined by other teams hoping to sign Minamino this summer.

According to the latest report from Fabrizio Romano, three clubs have opened talks with Liverpool over a deal for the 27-year-old. Those clubs were not specified although, given prior interest, there is every likelihood that Leeds are one of them.
