Last-minute DEAL CONFIRMED: Leeds make £30m offer in last-ditch attempt to sign midfielder amid shocking Sunderland medical update

Leeds United Misses Out on Habib Diarra

Leeds United had been tracking Habib Diarra for several weeks, but the 21-year-old Senegal midfielder has opted to join Sunderland instead. Despite Leeds upping their bid to match Sunderland’s £30m offer, Diarra chose to sign with the Black Cats.

Late Approach

Leeds had been linked with Diarra, but it seems they may have left their approach too late. The Whites had been courting him for most of June, but if they had acted sooner, they might have secured his signature.

Competition from Other Clubs

Diarra had attracted interest from several top clubs, including Frankfurt and AC Milan. However, he ultimately chose to join Sunderland, where he will undergo a medical before signing a deal worth around £30m.

Impact on Leeds’ Transfer Plans

This missed opportunity may prompt Leeds to re-evaluate their transfer strategy. With Jaka Bijol being the latest arrival, the Whites still have work to do to strengthen their squad ahead of the Premier League season.

Farke Needs to be Backed

Daniel Farke will be hoping that Leeds can secure the necessary signings to make a strong impact in the Premier League. With two major targets already missed, the pressure is on the club to act quickly and finalize deals before the transfer window closes.
