Leeds United ‘have made enquiries’ to sign £40m Liverpool player this summer..
Leeds United could be about to smash their club transfer record this summer, on a player who could cost up to £40million.
Leeds United signed Georginio Rutter for £35.5million in January 2023. He became the club’s record signing and that record still stands today.
But after Leeds United’s promotion to the Premier League it now looks like Daniel Farke could oversee another record-breaking transfer at Elland Road.
It’s being reported that Leeds United will spend £100million on transfers this summer. And already we’re seeing some expensive potential names being linked with summer moves to West Yorkshire.
Just on Wednesday, Leeds United were linked with Everton striker Beto who cost the Toffees £26million back in 2023, and would likely cost a similar amount this summer.
But it’s on the other side of Liverpool where Leeds could spend big this summer.

Leeds United have asked about signing Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher
Illan Meslier looks set to leave this summer. And in his place Farke will need a no.1. There’s been no shortage of potential replacements being linked with Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale being one, and Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher being another.
Leeds United have been linked with Kelleher throughout the year. But all along it’s seemed like an overly-ambitious pursuit for the Whites with the likes of Chelsea and Newcastle United having been heavily linked with the Republic of Ireland international ahead of the summer.

But speaking to Leeds United News, transfer expert Graeme Bailey has revealed that Leeds United have in fact enquired about signing Kelleher this summer. He says: “Kelleher is moving this summer, he wanted to go last summer but Liverpool decided against letting him go. Giorgi Mamardashvili is coming in now, so Kelleher is on his way and the interest is high.
“Newcastle, Bournemouth, West Ham and Nottingham Forest are just some of the teams who have been linked. Leeds are in this market for a goalkeeper and I am told they have made enquiries about his situation.”

Caoimhin Kelleher’s price tag and current salary at Liverpool
Reports on Kelleher’s price tag have varied. But recent reports mostly suggest that Liverpool want between £30-40million for the 26-year-old, which would eat up a large portion of Leeds United’s summer transfer kitty.
And not only that but Kelleher would be a significant addition to the club’s wage bill, albeit not a huge one. Per Salary Sport, Kelleher currently earns £32,000-a-week at Liverpool which is less than the current highest-earner at Elland Road: Patrick Bamford on £40,000-a-week.
But the fact that Leeds United have enquired about Kelleher suggests that they believe they can both afford and tempt him into signing this summer, and what a signing it would be.
