Leeds United have already made some major transfer decisions this past week. Club chairman Paraag Marathe insisted that there would be a logical approach to the transfer window.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Harry Wilson is set for a move to Elland Road.
The midfielder will sign a four-year deal and will earn higher wages as he finally makes a move to West Yorkshire. Wilson nearly joined the club last summer, but Fulham pulled the plug last minute.
Daniel Farke will welcome a huge addition to the first team who can play a variety of roles.
Pascal Struijk also joined Brighton this week; per sources, the Dutchman rejected a new contract to stay at Elland Road. Struijk’s deal expires in 2027, and some around the club were concerned that he would leave.
The Whites now have some transfer funds to move around this summer.
Leeds United move draws closer after latest update
Leeds United have been assessing potential transfer targets in this window.
Some of them are in action at this summer’s World Cup. That includes Japan Goalkeeper Zion Suzuki and England star James Trafford. It was revealed that Trafford would prefer a move to Newcastle.
Suzuki has earned a lot of plaudits for his performances in the tournament.
He is not expected to be at Parma next season. And it looks like the Italian club are preparing for his departure. They have agreed a deal to sign Giovanni Daffara from Juventus.
A fee has been agreed and the 21-year old is set for a medical, per Gianluca Di Marzio.
This opens the door for Parma to sell Zion Suzuki, with many outlets claiming that the keeper will have a price tag around £25 to £30 million.

Karl Darlow’s future will determine Leeds’ summer window
As of Wednesday, Karl Darlow is no longer under contract at Leeds United.
His deal has expired and he is now a free agent. The Whites have offered him a new deal, but it is believed that other English clubs, including Manchester United, are monitoring the situation.
If the veteran decides to leave Elland Road, it may change Leeds’ plans.
This could see the club splash the cash to buy a first choice keeper for next season. Daniel Farke is not a big fan of Lucas Perri, which might influence the decision going forward.
But if Darlow does stay; it gives the club a safety net to have him around for at least another season before they decide on signing a new stopper.
