Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Thursday, March 2.
Leeds United 'to rival' Bayern Munich for teenage PSG defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu
Leeds are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain centre-back El Chadaille Bitshiabu, who is also a target for Bayern Munich and Fulham.
According to French publication Jeunes Footeux, Leeds are one of a number of clubs across Europe that are closely monitoring the 17-year-old.

Red Bull Salzburg and Bayer Leverkusen have also been credited with an interest in the teenager, whose contract expires in the summer of 2024.
Leeds have operated on the policy of investing in young talent, with the likes of Wilfried Gnonto, Sam Greenwood, and Crysencio Summerville testifying eloquently to that philosophy.
The Whites also added Portugal youth international Diogo Monteiro from Servette FC in January, and the 17-year-old has already started three league games on the bench since his arrival.
Bitshiabu made his senior debut in a 3-0 win over Entente Feignies Aulnoye in the Coupe de France aged just 16 years and seven months in December 2021.
He made his Ligue 1 debut in a 3-0 victory at Angers in April 2022, and has amassed a further five league appearances for PSG this term.
Marcelo Gallardo demands revealed
Marcelo Gallardo will demand an annual salary of £6.5 million for his next club, according to Argentinian publication El Futbolero.
The 47-year-old was linked with the Leeds job following Jesse Marsch's sacking at the start of February, but reportedly turned down a formal offer to take over at Elland Road.
Gallardo is believed to have turned down the job because he wanted a full pre-season to work with his players, and also needed to have a strong grasp of the English language before taking a job in the Premier League.
He has been out of work since ending his glorious eight-year spell at River Plate in November last year. He has also been touted as a possible option for the Southampton job.
Leeds have only appointed Javi Gracia on a 'flexible contract', while Ruben Selles will take charge of the Saints until the end of the season.
