Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Monday, June 19.
Diego Llorente price tag wish emerges
The future of Diego Llorente is one of several off-season narratives that has been bubbling away under the surface at Leeds United this summer.
The Spaniard enjoyed a productive loan spell at AS Roma over the second half of the 2022-23 campaign, helping Jose Mourinho reach the Europa League final and to a sixth-place Serie A finish, which will see them return to the same European competition next term.
The original loan deal, which was struck in the January transfer window contained a clause which could see the move made permanent for €18million, only for the Italian side to balk at the price tag come the end of the season. Now, according to a report in Corriere Dello Sport (via Roma Giallorossa ), Roma will build 'pressure' in order to get the 29-year-old for a reduced price.

It adds that Roma will look for another loan deal, with a €10million option that could be triggered automatically. The two sides are sad to be 'moving towards an agreement' as it sounds more and more like Llorente will not be turning out for Leeds in the Championship next term.
Tyler Roberts exit details
News broke at the end of last week that Leeds United forward Tyler Roberts is set to sign for Birmingham City, bringing to an end his five-and-a-half-year spell at Elland Road. Injuries have plagued the Wales international's time in West Yorkshire and Roberts saw a season-long loan spell at Queens Park Rangers interrupted with a series of fitness issues this season, but he looks set for a permanent move away.
A report in the Mail on Sunday claims that the Blues - whose finances recieved a boost last week thanks to a sell-on clause that kicked in when Jude Bellingham completed his £100million Real Madrid move - will pay an initial £750,000 for the 24-year-old.
It adds that talks are ongoing and that initial fee is expected to rise with bonuses included.
