Alious*Leeds United’s Free Agent Targets This Summer: Including England International
Leeds United could turn to free agents this summer to bolster their squad within tight financial constraints.
With a reduced three-year loss cap of £61 million, compared to the £105 million available to Premier League clubs, manager Daniel Farke will need to get creative in the transfer market.
Free agents present an appealing option, as they come at no upfront cost, though wages and bonuses will still count towards the club’s spending limits.
Here are three free agents Leeds might target:
*Eric Dier – Bayern Munich
Despite turning 32 in January, Dier could be a solid addition to Leeds, especially with his versatility and experience in both central defense and midfield..
While he may command a hefty wage, Leeds could offer him regular playing time, making him a tempting option.
However, the potential of competing at a lower level may be an obstacle, as Dier has recently been part of Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga-winning squad.
Bright Osayi-Samuel –
Fenerbahce
The 27-year-old right-back is set to become a free agent, and although he wouldn’t necessarily replace Jayden Bogle, Osayi-Samuel could provide useful competition and depth. With experience playing for Nigeria and in European competitions, he could be a cost-effective addition if Leeds need a backup or rotation player, particularly if Sam Byram leaves.
Sergio Reguilon – Tottenham Hotspur
The 28-year-old left-back has found himself frozen out of the Spurs squad under Ange Postecoglou, making him available this summer.
Reguilon’s experience with top clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Tottenham, as well as his Champions League experience, make him an appealing option for Leeds.
However, his struggle to maintain consistent form raises questions about whether he would be a reliable starter or a backup option.
These free agents could offer valuable experience and depth for Leeds as they aim to strengthen their squad without breaking their financial constraints.
