Leeds United is in a bit of a pickle with their transfer plans. They're eyeing Danilho Doekhi, a defender from Union Berlin, but they're not the only ones. Wolfsburg is also interested, and Doekhi might be tempted to stay in the Bundesliga. Leeds needs another defender, especially with Joe Rodon injured, but they're also keeping an eye on their wallet. Leeds has been doing well lately, losing only once in their last nine games. They're eight points clear of the relegation zone, which is a good sign. But they still want to make sure they stay in the Premier League. Adding Doekhi could help, but it's not guaranteed.
Meanwhile, Jack Harrison is on his way out. The winger hasn't been playing much, and Leeds is ready to let him go. Fiorentina is interested, and a loan deal with an option to buy permanently is almost done. Harrison's time at Leeds has been rocky, and fans haven't forgiven him for wanting to leave before. Now, he's set to join Manor Solomon in Florence, another former Leeds player. Leeds also considered Callum Wilson but decided against it. Wilson is waiting to leave West Ham, but Leeds passed on the chance to sign him. And their attempt to bring a Real Madrid star to West Yorkshire didn't work out either. Leeds has money to spend, but they're being careful. They want to make sure they have enough to keep the team strong. With Doekhi's future uncertain and Harrison's departure looming, it's going to be an interesting transfer window for the Whites.
