On a personal note, I’ll still be covering football, maybe even #LUFC occasionally, as a senior writer over at @fourfourtwo.com.

🧤 #LUFC recruitment structure understood to be fans of 6ft 8in 'keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, however, the Serbian int'l has plenty of interest & player unlikely to choose Leeds. One of a number of GKs on Leeds' list, including Lyon's Lucas Perri.

Joe Donnohue

@joedonnohue.bsky.social

Understanding is that a loan move benefits #LUFC more from a PSR standpoint. Selling Wöber this summer at a price below ~£5m would see the club report a loss on their 2025/26 accounts, due to player amortisation costs.

@joedonnohue.bsky.social

✍ Sunderland's business this summer is more sit-up-&-take-note than Leeds' sensible. Additional sting in tail for #LUFC as they're landing shared targets. #SAFC having to make up 24-point gap to Leeds & Burnley, though. Floors & ceilings assessed here.

Premier League survival is not secured by the magnitude of summer signings, even if Leeds United's relegation rivals Sunderland are making a strong case to remain in the top flight next season.
