Leeds Striker Mateo Joseph Seeks Exit Amid Premier League Preparations

News summary

Leeds United are actively preparing for their Premier League return with six new signings and efforts to strengthen their squad, particularly seeking a top striker after missing out on targets like Nikola Krstovic. Meanwhile, star striker Mateo Joseph has requested to leave the club, expressing his desire to return to Spain, which has caused a disruption in Leeds’ pre-season plans as he refused to join the training camp. Manager Daniel Farke has confirmed Joseph's wish to leave and emphasized the club's valuation of him, but also stated he will not stand in the player's way if he wants to pursue a new challenge, although Leeds have yet to receive an acceptable offer that meets their valuation, reportedly a minimum of £12 million. Another forward, Joe Gelhardt, who spent time on loan at Hull, might remain at Leeds and is seen by some, including former player Jermaine Pennant, as a promising prospect who could stake a claim in the Premier League squad if given opportunities. Leeds' transfer activity also includes bolstering midfield and defense, with Anton Stach joining from Hoffenheim, while the club continues to seek reinforcements to compete effectively in the top flight. The club faces the challenge of balancing incoming transfers with the potential departures of key players like Joseph and possibly Gelhardt, amid a competitive and uncertain transfer window.
