Leeds United have now found some stability when it comes to transfers, after years of changing policies. From the Victor Orta era to the Jesse Marsch summer window, so many different approaches have been taken.
But since the 49ers hired Daniel Farke, there seems to be a semblance of stability at the club. Each arrival over the last two seasons has been impactful and contributed towards the team. Leeds seem to have moved past the 2023 window which saw multiple players jump ship as they refused to play in the Championship.
With a new approach towards potential signings, the club can be confident of the players they sign in the future.

Leeds are about to make their second signing this summer. The Whites are set to complete a deal with Udinese defender Jaka Bijol. Fabrizio Romano reported that a £18million fee had been agreed.
Bijol has had the ambition to make the next step in his career. Five months ago, he spoke on the Italian Football podcast speaking about his future:
“For sure, I have ambitions to play in the Champions League and to play in the Premier League,” he said. “I have an ambition to do that and I hope it comes.”
The 26-year old also reveals that he thinks the best part of his game is his leadership.
“I like to think that I can help my team-mates a lot,” he said. “And I like to help my team-mates to be the best version of themselves. And I like just to stay focused, the concentration in every game, and to give you all every game. This is the thing that I strive to do and to be as consistent as possible through the years. And I think that for a defender, this is one of the most important things that you can do, you can be consistent and really concentrated for every game and to give it your best.”
Leeds get a player who wants to be here
The club has learned from their mistakes. Back in 2023, when Leeds got relegated, so many players sought an exit that summer. Showing that they had no commitment to the team. Now that there will be no more relegation clauses, fans can expect to sign players who actually want to be at Elland Road.
Amen to that.
