Leeds United transfer activity 2026 – July

Entities: Borussia Dortmund · Como 1907 · Julian Brandt · Leeds United · Yan Couto

Overview

Harry Wilson joined Leeds United on a free transfer from Fulham, and striker Tarik Muharemovic arrived for a reported £34 million, bolstering a forward line that already includes Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert‑Lewin.

Leeds have moved from interest to a concrete three‑year contract offer for German midfielder Julian Brandt, who became a free agent after leaving Borussia Dortmund. The club has engaged his agent, and Brandt remains fascinated by the prospect of playing in the Premier League, despite rival interest from Ajax and Serie A clubs.

Additional targets announced in July are striker Ermedin Demirovic from VfB Stuttgart, priced around €20 million, and Spanish forward Carlos Espi of Levante, who carries a €25 million release clause. Both are seen as options to further strengthen Leeds’ attack.

In a related market development, Dortmund’s planned €20 million transfer of Brazilian right‑back Yan Couto to Serie A side Como 1907 has stalled over unresolved financial terms, underscoring broader transfer‑window uncertainties.

Director of football Adam Underwood and manager Daniel Farke continue to present these moves as part of a broader squad‑upgrade plan aimed at improving on the club’s 14th‑place finish and targeting a mid‑table or top‑half league position.
