Leeds United have shown promise in the Premier League and are reportedly eyeing a move for Brazilian youngster Gustavo Prado to enhance their squad at Elland Road. Despite their frustration at dropping points in a draw against Bournemouth, the club is looking to bolster their team with new talent.
After a draw where Leeds felt they deserved more, manager Daniel Farke remained positive about his team’s performance, highlighting their chance creation but acknowledging the disappointment of conceding a late goal. Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie expressed relief at leaving Elland Road with a point, recognizing the progress Leeds has made in a short time.
Behind the scenes, Leeds and 49ers Enterprises are reportedly planning a transfer move for Internacional’s Gustavo Prado. The 20-year-old Brazilian, capable of playing on either flank, has drawn interest from multiple clubs. While his release clause is set at £51 million, Leeds could pursue a deal around £17 million, a fee that Prado’s current club may consider.
With Prado catching the eye of Leeds scouts during his performances for Brazil’s Under-20 side, his potential arrival could add depth to the squad and remind fans of former Leeds winger Raphinha, who has excelled at Barcelona. Competition from clubs like Stuttgart and Atalanta suggests that negotiations for Prado’s signature may require significant effort and funding to bring him to Elland Road.
