Daniel Farke remained tight-lipped on the possibility of Leeds United pursuing a move for Emi Buendia, despite Aston Villa manager Unai Emery hinting that the Argentine midfielder could be on the move before the transfer deadline.
Leeds’ CEO Angus Kinnear had previously revealed that the club had made an attempt to sign Buendia in the summer, but Villa had resisted letting him go at that time.
Emery’s recent comments suggesting Buendia’s potential departure sparked interest from Leeds, who are yet to add a number ten to their squad.
Farke, who knows Buendia well from their time together at Norwich City, refused to comment on the speculations surrounding Buendia’s future, stating that he prefers not to discuss players from other teams until a deal is finalized.
Leeds, currently at the top of the Championship table, have been in fine form this season, but adding a player of Buendia’s caliber could significantly enhance their attacking options. With rivals strengthening, Leeds must be prepared to act if the opportunity to sign Buendia arises.
As they gear up to face Norwich City on Wednesday, the potential pursuit of Buendia by Leeds remains a story worth keeping an eye on, especially with Emery open to the idea of the midfielder leaving Villa. If a move materializes, it could be a major coup for Leeds United.
