Leeds United reportedly took a £20 million defender, similar to Joe Rodon, following their recent scouting mission.
Leeds will reach 100 points and a lift championship title on the final day
It was the last day for Daniel Fark and his Leeds side to remember after winning the championship title in suspension.
Manor Solomon’s goal in the 91st minute guaranteed a victory from Whites’ behind at Home Park, meaning he finished the season with 100 points.
After winning the title, Fark said: “Today I was allowed to shed a tear or two in my eyes. Wembley was there for the players and had to give them some conviction. It was a tough moment. Ethan (Ampadu), Ilia (gruev), Joe (Rodon), they all shed tears.
“I wanted to create something really special with them. To see them like little kids (after the title wins), I enjoy them like when they started playing football. At these moments you’ve never thought about money or contracts.

Leeds moves to sign “top class” 243 career goal striker
White people are hunting to attack reinforcements.
Currently, the club’s attention behind the scenes at Elland Road is in the summer, and they are looking to strengthen their current team ahead of their return in the Premier League. Adam Underwood has been promoted to the role of athletic director who has been with the club for over a decade and could be the important first transfer window he is at the helm.
Solomon is tied to a permanent move towards Leeds, but there is also discussion of attacks on Celtic for the likes of Cameron Carter Vickers and Nicholas Koon.
It is likely that a rear and an additional during attack is likely to appear more likely, and new defensive options are now available on Underwood’s radar.
Leeds is aiming to bid to sign £20 million defender Leonardo Balladi
According to a report from The Sun broadcast by Mot Leeds News, Leeds recently sent a scout to see Marseille defender Leonardo Barradi.
White people now have Barreldi one of their biggest targets, with Argentina accepting a move to the UK. Marseille adds that it will ask the defender for a fee of £20 million over the coming months.
Baladi signed Marseille from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 and is now the captain of the League 1 side, having played more than 160 appearances for his current employer.

|---|---|---|
The path that was attempted | 99th percentile | 97th percentile |
The pass is complete | 99th percentile | 98th percentile |
Move to the last third | 93rd Percentile | 94th percentile |
Baladi, who was capped six times by Argentina, has been impressed with the ball over the past 12 months. According to FBREF, he ranks in the top 1% of centre-backs in regards to the top 3% attempted passes on successful passes per 90, while the Marseille man is in the top 1% to make a take-on successful.
Balladi is a similar Rodon as Leeds Star ranks in the top 3% on attempted passes and in the top 2% on successful passes, and in the looks of things, he can partner with Welsh International at back next season.
