Leeds United transfer rumours: Rodrigo De Paul latest and Liverpool lead race for young defender

There is a little over a week left of the summer transfer window.

It means clubs are running out of time to complete any potential signings for the first half of the Premier League season, with the window not set to open again until January.

With that in mind, here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours.

Potential Rodrigo De Paul blow

Messaggero Veneto report that Rodrigo De Paul is growing closer and closer to staying at Udinese.

Beren Cross on Leeds 4-3 Fulham

The Pozzo family's reluctance to drop their asking price below €35-40m has made a move to Leeds difficult to pull off.

Udinese are set to add to their midfield with Watford Roberto Pereyra but he is likely to be an addition to De Paul rather than a replacement.

Liverpool lead Campbell race

The Mirror report that Sam Campbell appears to be edging close to a move to Liverpool.

Leeds and Brighton have also had bids accepted for the Motherwell defender, who has been offered a new contract to stay at Fir Park.

Yet the 16-year-old is undergoing a trial at Anfield ahead of a potential move to Liverpool.

Cuisance deal unlikely

Bild report that Leeds' interest in Michael Cuisance could be shortlived.

It was claimed earlier this week that the Whites were big fans of the Bayern Munich midfielder, who struggled for first-team football last season.

Whilst reports in Germany claim that this is correct and that Leeds are looking into offering a permanent deal for the 21-year-old, it is likely to be rejected.

Thiago Alcantara's move to Liverpool, along with Javi Martinez's departure, means Cuisance is set to play a bigger role for the European champions this season.
