The Whites have a long list of players they could sign this summer, and they appear to be strengthening a few important positions, especially at full-back where Junior Firpo is expected to depart Leeds United.
Kyle Walker-Peters is one of the names mentioned. Walker-Peters’ Southampton contract is about to expire, and Leeds United wants to sign him on a free transfer before Spurs and West Ham compete.
Wolves’ left-back Hugo Bueno is another name that has been mentioned. The Dutch powerhouses are making every effort to keep the Spaniard on loan at Feyenoord, where he has been making an impression, for at least another year.
Feyenoord doing everything they can to sign Hugo Bueno this summer
Recently, the Eredivisie campaign came to a close. With 20 Dutch top division matches and three assists under his belt, Bueno is returning to Wolves after Robin van Persie’s Feyenoord finished in third place.
Van Persie is reportedly desperate to retain Bueno for the upcoming season. Feyenoord is “doing everything they can” to sign Bueno again this summer, either permanently or on loan from Wolves, according to Dutch commentator Martijn Krabbendam, who has since confirmed those statements.
When Krabbendam spoke on the Dick Voormekaar Podcast Extra, he stated: “Bueno is currently departing, but I believe he will return.” They’re trying everything they can to either buy him or rent him for another year. Additionally, the Bueno camp does not view such as impossible.
Bueno is a “supreme” player, according to PSV no. 2 Theo Lucius.
What is the latest on Junior Firpo’s future at Leeds United?
A few days back, Leeds United made their retained list public. It was disclosed that the club and Firpo are still negotiating a new contract, but it appears that he is seriously considering his options given the reports of offers from all around Europe.
With Firpo’s £13 million move from the Nou Camp to Elland Road in 2021, Barcelona is reportedly considering re-signing him. The Dominican may also be interested in Lazio, AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid.
There is also a lot of interest in Firpo in the Premier League, with teams like Everton and Crystal Palace reportedly showing interest.
In any case, it’s quite unlikely that Firpo would continue at Leeds United, thus a deal for Bueno might really take precedence for the team in the upcoming weeks.

Aidy White says Leeds United are letting an ‘amazing’ player leave Elland Road this summer
Since Daniel Farke has led Leeds back into the Premier League on their second try, a significant change in the playing staff is anticipated. It is probable that the Whites will spend more than £100 million this summer.
At this point in the summer, no acquisitions have been completed because the Premier League and European campaigns are still in progress. Leeds, however, has revealed their retained list and stated that 11 players are leaving.
Veteran José Guilavogui is the only senior player confirmed to be leaving Leeds on a free transfer thus far. Leeds claims that negotiations are still going on to retain Junior Firpo and Sam Byram, but they could yet let them leave.
Aidy White comments on Josuha Guilavogui’s Leeds United exit
Following the injuries to Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu, Guilavogui joined Leeds in October of last year. a seven-time France international with a stellar resume that includes appearances for Atletico Madrid, Wolfsburg, and other major European teams.
Vinnie Jones’ record of being undefeated in his first Leeds games was broken by him, and his departure has now been officially confirmed on a free. Guilavogui has a “amazing character,” according to Aidy White, who spoke to The Square Ball.
He most likely was familiar with the writing. Although his performances were passable, the players’ comments and his parting post tell a lot. He has been a fantastic presence at the club.
Such a good person. A player may easily enter and claim, “I should be playing, but he wasn’t that.” It says volumes that the players consider him to be among the top players in football. Guilavogui sa
How the Leeds United squad reacted to Josuha Guilavogui’s exit
Most Leeds players have responded to Guilavogui’s exit on social media. A player who gets along well with both the team’s senior players and, perhaps shockingly, some of Leeds’ younger players.
His bond with Willy Gnonto and Largie Ramazani was quite solid. He is a “legend,” according to Ramazani, and Gnonto thanked him for all that he had done for him and for us. I’ll miss you.
Several people answered, including Pascal Struijk, Brenden Aaronson, Illan Meslier, and Alex Cairns. Junior Firpo, however, had possibly the finest response when he claimed that Guilavogui is a “persona de luz,” or a “person of life.”
The future of Guilavogui will be intriguing to watch. In January, there were rumours that the Frenchman would join Paris FC, RedBull’s most recent acquisition, who had recently been promoted to the top division in France.
