Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Saturday, June 11.
Leeds face competition for Roca signing
The latest player to be linked with a move to Leeds is Marc Roca. The Spaniard is being targeted to provide competition and cover for Kalvin Phillips in front of the Whites defence.
German outlet BILD have claimed that he is very much on the list of players Bayern Munich are happy to sell this summer with a price tag of €9m being quoted. While that will come as a boost to Leeds’ hopes of signing Roca, there is said to be competition from Frankfurt.

The Europa League winners have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old for several months and they are keen to bolster their squad in preparation for a Champions League campaign.
Price tag revealed for another Leeds target
One of the other players who has been linked with an Elland Road switch in recent days is Alberth Elis. The Honduras international would be signed as cover for Patrick Bamford in the frontline after his injuries laid bare the need for more forwards throughout the recently-finished season.
Elis spent last season on loan at Bordeaux and they have exercised their clause to sign him permanently for £5m in the hope they will be able to turn it into immediate profit following relegation. GFFN are reporting that the French side are looking for £12m with Leeds and West Ham holding an interest in his signature.
Elis responds to Leeds speculation
Speaking in an interview with El Heraldo, Elis admitted that it is his dream to play in the Premier League. He said: “For now, I have a contract with the team; I have to respect it. I am very grateful to them for the support they gave me, for the way they received me when I arrived in France.
“My dream has always been to play in the English league, and let’s hope that it will happen; first of all, God will give me that opportunity, and I will be able to take advantage of it. In football, rumours are worthless because if at the end of the day a contract is not signed, there is nothing.”
