Latest Leeds United transfer rumours: £18m Senesi deal, Brannagan contract, Quarta decision

Leeds United will be playing Premier League football next season, and like most promoted sides, will be looking to bolster their options.

The Whites’ fantastic performance in the Championship means that Marcelo Bielsa will be likely to trust some of his players as they make the step up to the top-flight.

However, there have been several names linked with a move to Elland Road, as the club make their eagerly anticipated return to the Premier League.

With that being said, here are the best Leeds-related transfer rumours from today.

Ben White replacement targeted

Leeds United are interested in a deal for £18million rated central defender Marcos Senesi according to reports.

Senesi plays for Dutch side Feyenoord and manager Dick Advocaat is believed to be reluctant to allow the 23-year-old to leave this summer.

However, the report goes on to add that it could take an offer of at least £18million to prise him away.

Robinson sends strong message on Brannagan

Oxford United boss Karl Robinson has been speaking about his plans for Cameron Brannagan, amid reports linking him with a move to Elland Road.

The former Liverpool midfielder has just one year left on his contract, but Robinson insists he won't let him go on the cheap.

“We’re speaking about a new contract. That’s as much as I can tell you,” said Robinson.

"No player will walk out of this building just because they’ve got a year left for less money than we think they’re worth. One year is still one year. I don’t think anybody has got that much time to wait for someone any more.

“If I was trying to sign Rob Dickie or Cameron Brannagan and I said ‘we’ll wait for you on a free in 12 months’, there’s a high probability I won’t be the manager.

"It’s the same price whether they’ve got one year or two years left and all the agents know that’s the stance we take."

Leeds not budging on Quarta

Reports in Argentina have suggested Leeds are refusing to meet the release clause of River Plate defender Lucas Martinez Quarta.

The 24-year-old is reportedly attracting interest from the Whites, as well as Real Betis, AC Milan and Roma.

Quarta has a €20m release clause on his contract, but El Intransigente report that neither Leeds nor Betis are willing to meet that figure, and are preparing to make "much smaller" offers.
