The transfer news for Leeds United continues with the possibility of signing free agents, including Josh Brownhill, who had an impressive season with Burnley in the Championship but left the club when his contract expired after their promotion to the Premier League. Despite interest from Leeds United over the summer, Brownhill could be heading to Saudi Arabia to join Al Shabab, who are rumored to have reached an agreement with the midfielder.
Leeds United’s managing director, Robbie Evans, has indicated that the club may not be actively pursuing free agents at the moment, citing a lack of urgency and the belief that the right player may not be available in the free agent market. Evans highlighted the use of free agents as a solution for emergencies or injury crises, similar to the signing of Josuha Guilavogui last year. The club’s approach seems to be focused on evaluating their options and waiting until January if necessary.
Regarding Illan Meslier’s future, it was previously speculated that he could leave Leeds United after losing his starting position in goal to Lucas Perri. However, Meslier has not found a new club yet, with potential options still available in the Turkish transfer market. Leeds United have reportedly rejected a move from Galatasaray for Meslier during the summer transfer window. Evans mentioned that there was interest in Meslier, but it was not as strong as expected given his quality and experience. Meslier preferred to stay at Leeds rather than move to a situation he was not comfortable with, ultimately leading to him remaining at the club.
