Here are your Leeds United transfer rumours on Saturday, April 22.
Leeds United learn steep price tag for Manuel Ugarte
Leeds United would reportedly have to dramatically break their club record transfer if they were to land Sporting star Manuel Ugarte.
According to Portuguese outlet Leonino, the Primeira Liga side could be forced to sell the star if they fail to qualify for European competition next season.
It's believed to the club will see the inability to qualify for either the Champions League or Europa League as a significant failure, as they currently sit fourth and seven points off SC Braga in third - only good enough for the Europa Conference League.
Leeds have been linked with the 22-year-old throughout the season, as it was previously reported they'd sent scouts to watch the star play against Arsenal last month.
Reports estimate the star's price tag between €60m (£53m) and €80m (£70m), a significant step up from Leeds' previous club record fee for a player with that being the £36m they spent on Georginio Rutter in the January transfer window.
Bases for Leeds United deal for Barcelona youngster 'already laid'
Leeds United are reportedly nearing the finalisation of the deal to secure Barcelona starlet Ilias Akhomach as he's turned down offers from the Spanish giants and Arsenal.
It's believed the 19-year-old has been convinced by Victor Orta and his Whites cohort as they were the first to let him know they wanted his services next season.
Spanish outlet MARCA are certain that the 'bases are already laid' for Akhomach's future at Elland Road to go ahead after his limited game time in Xavi's side this season.
