We are now just over a week from the start of Leeds United's first season back in the Premier League.
The excitement could hardly be greater as the countdown nears its end, but for Marcelo Bielsa and the club's recruitment staff, it's a case of racing the clock as they look to strengthen the squad ahead of the big kick-off.
The Whites have already landed Rodrigo Moreno and Robin Koch, but there is more to come.
Below we have the latest from the rumour mill.
De Paul preferes Juventus move
According to Messaggero Venuto, Rodrigo De Paul prefers a move to Juventus than Leeds United.
The Whites have been tipped to land the Udinese midfielder this month.
But according to the report, Leeds are not the player's preferred choice.
It's claimed De Paul wants a move to Juventus, though it's unclear how that could have a bearing on negotiations.
Roberts not on the move
Derby County will not make a move for Leeds United striker Tyler Roberts.
Reports claimed the Rams could make a move for the Wales international, who might struggle for first-team football as Leeds make the step up to the Premier League this season.
But Derby are not interested in a move, according to DerbyshireLive.
Roberts will have to look elsewhere for regular first-team football if he isn't able to convince Bielsa he is worthy of a starting spot this summer.
Leeds saw bid rejected
Leeds United had a bid turned down from Rangers left-back Borna Barisic.
According to reports in Croatia, Leeds actually offered £8m for the full-back but they saw that bid rejected.
The report claims the Whites were not willing to go any higher than that figure, walking away from the potential deal.
Barisic has been at Ibrox since 2018 and it seems he may well be staying put.
