Leeds Sign Bornauw, Firpo Departs for Betis

News summary

Leeds United have signed Belgian centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw from Wolfsburg for a fee of approximately £5.1m to £5.2m, marking their third new signing since returning to the Premier League. Bornauw, 26, joins on a four-year contract and brings extensive Bundesliga and Champions League experience. This move fits Leeds' strategy of acquiring physically strong players, following the arrivals of Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol. Junior Firpo has left the club to join Real Betis. While the Bornauw transfer is viewed as good value, it carries some injury risk and Leeds may need to facilitate further player sales to comply with profit and sustainability regulations. The club remains interested in signing young German left-back Lukas Ullrich as they continue to reinforce their squad.
