Despite rumors, Leeds United is not considering a summer transfer for Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United, although Daniel Farke is eager to bolster the team in this area.
The Whites intend to add a striker in the summer, and TEAMtalk is aware that their target list will inevitably change depending on the division they are in.With two goals from Patrick Struijk in a thrilling late victory over Sunderland on Monday, Leeds is the clear favorite to win the Championship and earn automatic promotion to the Premier League.
If Farke’s team makes a comeback to the top flight, they will have more money and more goals. It’s also possible that Patrick Bamford will depart, freeing up a Premier League salary and creating space for a new number nine.
However, Leeds is still unwilling to pay Hojlund’s £85,000 weekly salary, and his transfer fee would be excessive given that Manchester United would never consider a sell this early in Hojlund’s employment that would result in a loss.
More significantly, there is no indication that Manchester United is open to a sale at this time, and Hojlund remains dedicated to the team and starting games.
Hojlund won’t be permitted to go even if Manchester United signs a new striker this summer, which is quite possible.
To date, neither Leeds nor any other club have made an approach for Hojlund.
But as previously stated, Leeds will try to sign a new striker this summer.
Cameron Archer of Southampton was reportedly the Whites’ main target in January—the only real target they had, in fact—and they may rekindle their interest this summer.
Although Southampton was hesitant to move Archer at the time, a deal might be possible this summer if Leeds get promoted and Southampton is relegated.
Archer’s versatility as a left-winger or striker appeals to the Whites.
