Leeds United summer transfer window 2025: Top targets, budget, most likely signings and priority positions

Leeds United had already significantly added to their squad ahead of transfer deadline day, as well as collecting four points from Premier League fixtures against Everton, Arsenal and Newcastle United.

However, Daniel Farke remains eager to make at least one late addition to his senior ranks before close of business on Monday.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at what may transpire over the closing hours of transfer deadline day.

As it stands, the most likely arrival appears to be Aston Villa playmaker Emiliano Buendia.

With Villa in line to make at least three major additions on Monday, negotiating a deal for Buendia should be possible.

Budgets

The budget is there to facilitate more deals, but Farke looks unlikely to make full use of the money left available for him.

Over £100m has already been spent with minimal sales. Leeds may consider a loan approach for a fresh face in the closing hours.

Leeds have moved for Buendia courtesy of having missed out on signing Brighton & Hove Albion playmaker Facundo Buonanotte, who is instead joining Chelsea.

As such, Buendia appears to be the clear priority right now.

Leeds have covered the majority of positions with their 10 arrivals, but they are on the lookout for an attacking midfielder to add some creativity to the XI.

Farke's side are also trying to bolster their frontline by signing a winger, adding some firepower to their fight for Premier League survival.
