What’s Happening?
Leeds United are preparing for their return to the Premier League in the 2025-26 season, having secured automatic promotion from the Championship.
Under Daniel Farke’s leadership, the team has bounced back strongly after falling short in last season’s play-off final.
The Bigger Picture
Junior Firpo has played a vital role in Leeds’ promotion campaign. The former Barcelona defender has brought valuable experience to the squad and now hopes the club can attract some big-name signings as they gear up for life back in the top flight.
What Firpo Said
Speaking to Marca, Firpo was asked who he would sign for Leeds if money weren’t an issue. His answer? “If I could, I would sign Neymar for Leeds.”
Did You Know?
Neymar, currently 33, is back in Brazil with Santos as he recovers from injury.
Despite his setbacks, he remains focused on making an impact at the 2026 World Cup and could consider one more club move before the tournament.
What’s Next for Leeds United?
Reports suggest Leeds could be in for a busy transfer window, with their 49ers Enterprises ownership group prepared to invest over £100 million in up to six high-profile signings to strengthen the squad for the Premier League challenge.
