Unexpected U-TURN: Leeds had ‘agreement in principle’ with ex-forward before deal broke down

Leeds are anticipated to make moves in the upcoming summer transfer window as they prepare for their comeback to the Premier League following their promotion this season.

The team at Elland Road is in need of strengthening across various positions in order to stand a chance of surviving in the top tier. However, one position where there is no uncertainty is in the dugout.

Recent reports suggest that Leeds had lined up former Spain striker Raul as a potential manager, but ultimately he decided to stay with Real Madrid’s youth team, opting to wait for an opportunity with the first team.

While Raul’s playing career speaks for itself, his lack of experience as a manager poses a significant risk for Leeds. On the other hand, current manager Daniel Farke, despite his record with Norwich City, has a better understanding of English football and now has a stronger squad at his disposal.

With players like Joe Rodon, Ao Tanaka, and Ethan Ampadu already proving themselves at a high level, Leeds are in a good position to build a solid squad for the Premier League. It will be crucial for the team’s owners, the 49ers, to provide Farke with the necessary resources to make the necessary changes and secure their status in the top flight.
