After initially signing Luis Sinisterra on loan from Leeds United, AFC Bournemouth made his stay permanent on February 9.

Il Romanista reports that Diego Llorente is poised to make a permanent transfer out of Elland Road, which means the Whites will get paid more.

Leeds decided to extend the defender’s temporary stay for the current season after he joined AS Roma on loan in January of last year. According to the report, if some requirements are satisfied, there is a duty to buy.

In order to strengthen their defence even more, the Giallorossi began making plans in the summer and are currently examining their possibilities.

Meanwhile, rumours are circulating that they are “very close to a big coup for which the official announcement is missing.” At this point, Llorente is included in the report along with the information that Leeds will receive €5 million if he plays in 50% of the games this season.

In all competitions, the 30-year-old has made 27 appearances, including 21 league games thus far. He has already appeared in half of the league’s games, and it’s unclear if other requirements still need to be met.
Il Romanista claim that Llorente’s standing at Roma is “almost certain redemption” based on his performance and role at the club, both of which are owned by Leeds.

The Serie A team is “one step away” from acquiring the defender, they continue.

Phil Hay reveals Bamford issue as pre-game problem emerges before Leeds win v Swanse

Patrick Bamford indicates how serious his sudden Leeds United injury before Swansea win is

Daniel Farke reports that Patrick Bamford, who was substituted in the Leeds United starting lineup against Swansea, has stated that his knee injury isn’t “too bad.”

Following the 4-0 victory in South Wales, The Athletic’s Phil Hay tweeted on February 13 that the Whites manager had provided an update on the last-minute personnel change prior to kickoff, stating that the 30-year-old didn’t think it was a big problem.

In an attempt to continue his recent run of starts up front, Bamford was named on the squad sheet. However, Joel Piroe was substituted in and scored the second goal of the evening against his old team.

“Farke says Bamford’s problem is with his knee, but it’s unclear at this point if it’s a muscular or ligamentous issue,” Hay writes. Bamford reportedly said he didn’t think it was all that horrible.

Bamford doesn’t think injury woes are back at Leeds United

After two years of injury agony, fans will naturally assume the worst if the English striker experiences any fitness concerns.

Under Marcelo Bielsa, Bamford has been playing for the club in some of his best form since he turned into an England international. In his seven starts across all competitions since the beginning of 2024, he has scored five goals and provided two assists.

But Adam Pope thought that his early arm-striking goal against Rotherham United would come back to haunt the team, and it seems that something has done so for the striker personally right immediately.

It will be crucial for him to bounce back from this setback quickly because he is expected to have a long-term future with the team if he can maintain the kind of play he has been putting in lately.

Against Swansea, Leeds United made plenty of chances and had a four-point lead, so it’s obvious they didn’t miss him.

The fact that Bamford believes the knee problem is not serious is encouraging, but being unable to play is still a negative development.

A commentator has responded to a development that is a “huge boost” for Leeds United, in other Leeds United news.
