AliousIn the ongoing January transfer window, Leeds United finds itself at a crossroads with Emi Buendia, a target who previously flourished under Daniel Farke at Norwich City. During his Championship tenure, Buendia demonstrated remarkable productivity, contributing to 51 goals in just 77 games.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke is seeking to strengthen his midfield, particularly in the no.10 position where Brenden Aaronson has been inconsistent. While initially optimistic about securing Buendia, the club now faces significant competition from Bayer Leverkusen.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports that Leverkusen is actively pursuing the 28-year-old Argentine midfielder. Buendia appears receptive to joining Xabi Alonso’s project, potentially complicating Leeds’ transfer strategy. Despite ongoing negotiations, no definitive agreement has been reached.
With Buendia’s potential move to Leverkusen seeming increasingly likely, Leeds is exploring alternative midfield options. Potential targets include Josh Brownhill from Burnley and Diego Luna from Real Salt Lake, though these options appear less promising.
Buendia’s recent performance for Aston Villa in the Champions League against Monaco further highlights his current form and appeal to potential suitors.
