Here are your Leeds United transfer rumours for Monday, July 11.
Raphinha transfer takes another twist
Barcelona are prepared to put their pursuit of Leeds star Raphinha on the back-burner to prioritise up to five other transfer deals, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo. That could allow Chelsea to swoop in for the 25-year-old, who is set to depart Elland Road this summer.
The report suggests that a potential contract renewal for Ousmane Dembele could lead the Spanish side to make reinforcements in other areas of the pitch, rather than making Raphinha a priority.
Leeds have set a £60 million price tag on Raphinha, who joined the Whites in 2020. The winger has been left out of Leeds' squad for their pre-season tour of Australia.
AC Milan close in on Leeds target De Ketelaere
According to Italian journalist Nicolo Ceccarini, AC Milan are rapidly closing in on a deal for Leeds transfer target Charles De Ketelaere.
The Italian giants are reportedly in advanced negotiations with Club Brugge as they seek to push a deal for the highly-rated striker over the line. Leeds are interested in De Ketelaere, but the player is said to prefer a move to AC Milan.
The 21-year-old was left out of Club Brugge's friendly against FC Kobenhavn on Saturday.
