Leeds United’s recruitment team has embarked on a journey to Germany to engage in extensive transfer discussions after a bid for FC Koln midfielder Dejan Ljubicic was rejected. With the Championship season fast approaching and their first match against Portsmouth on August 10th, Leeds must quickly solidify their squad.
Despite a strong 4-1 win over Hannover, Leeds is looking to bolster their team by scouting talent in the German 2.Bundesliga. Their initial offer of €4 million for Ljubicic was turned down by Koln, hinting at the player’s potential departure as his contract expires next summer.
Leeds is expected to make another bid for the Austrian international, who is currently training with Koln in Austria following a friendly match against Swansea City. Furthermore, YEP’s Joe Donnohue reported that Leeds’ recruitment team met in Germany this week to discuss potential transfer targets, with Ljubicic being a prominent figure.
While Ljubicic may not be the final addition to Leeds’ squad, his situation highlights the progress of their quest for new signings. This demonstrates the club’s strategic approach and determination to strengthen the team ahead of the upcoming season.
