According to the report, Leeds United are currently in discussions over a summer contract for a “great” player who is “proving” himself in the Champions League.
Iranian Meslier’s catalogue of errors ultimately cost Leeds to explore a final promotion. He sealed his return to the Premier League after reaching the 100-point mark in a 2-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle on the final day, but appears to be thinking of replacing the Frenchman.
Carl Darlow was taken to the final seven matches of the championship campaign, with the 34-year-old still holding four clean sheets, but given his age, Daniel Fark might be keen to bring in a young goalkeeper to replace Messlier.
Sam John Stone of the Wolverhampton Wanderers is one of the targets, and given his experience in the Premier League, the Preston-born shot stopper could be an attractive option, but there was a suggestion that championship title winners could take risks in more quantities.
According to a report from Germany (via Leeds United News), Leeds is now one of many clubs to sign Bayern Munich goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, and was able to leave the German club two years ago after arriving around £4 million.
The 6-foot-3 Colossus has been playing a sporadic role since its arrival at Allianz Arena. That means he can move this summer, but considering he retains his hopes of becoming Bayern’s first choice goalkeeper, the loan agreement is on the card.
White people are set to face Israeli signature competition, but Burnley and Genoa are also enthusiastic alongside PSV Eindhoven, with the Eredivisi side being said to be in Paul’s position.

“Fantastic” Peretz could be a Mesle upgrade
It’s no wonder Leeds are considering bringing in a new goalkeeper this summer, as if the goalkeeper made similar errors next season, their Premier League status could be questionable.
TeamTalk’s James Marshment criticized the 25-year-old for another “famous Klanger” against Hull City in January.
Peretz, meanwhile, has been praised by Bayern Munich sports director Max Ebal. “Daniel Peretz is a great backup. He has proven himself in the Cup, Bundesliga and now the Champions League. He has also presented great performances from the Israeli national team against Belgium and France.
That said, the 24-year-old may need to leave for his career this summer, as he has been working hard at Bayern and will only appear in five seniors in the 2024-25 season.
