Summary

- The club is prioritizing a striker, with Rodrigo Muniz as their key target.
In the recent past, Leeds United had been pursuing Brazilian player Igor Paixao, but the club's hierarchy was left "smarting" after the deal fell through on Monday afternoon. Despite the setback, Leeds have already secured seven new players in the current transfer window and are hoping to add up to four more before the window closes on September 1.
The club's priority now is to find a striker, with Rodrigo Muniz being their key target. However, Leeds know they can't be too patient, as they need a strong start to the season to maintain the momentum from last year. The club is also considering adding a full-back, especially if Swiss defender Isaac Schmidt is keen to leave on loan.
Looking ahead, Leeds are exploring options for further attacking reinforcements, including potential Premier League loan deals. The club's hierarchy is aware that they can't afford to miss out on the "star player they needed" this summer, as they prepare for the upcoming season. With 32 days remaining in the transfer window, Leeds are working hard to finalize their squad and ensure they are ready for the new campaign.
