🔔Wednesday's Leeds United round-up: why tonight's Croke Park friendly against Man United means more than just a rivalry renewal, Hull City swoop in to hijack Joe Gelhardt's move from Birmingham, a genuine internal row emerges over Largie Ramazani at Valencia, Lucas Perri's Torino move gets a firm date, Joe Rodon opens up on his tactical flexibility down the right, and Sebastiaan Bornauw's Hamburg loan is expected to be completed this week.

In this video:

Why tonight matters at Croke Park — This is the first-ever club football match played at Croke Park, and the first time two English clubs have played each other there. We break down the ground's history — Rule 42, Bloody Sunday, the Hogan Stand — and why the GAA opening its doors for this fixture is a genuinely historic moment, not just another pre-season friendly.

Hull hijack Gelhardt — Just as Birmingham looked set to land him, Hull City have swooped in with direct contact and genuine optimism over a permanent return. Gelhardt scored 15 goals in a season-long loan there last year and reportedly has his heart set on going back — a swift resolution could even see him involved in Saturday's friendly vs Nice.

Ramazani row at Valencia — The player wants Valencia and is pushing hard, even calling former teammates. But reports suggest CEO Ron Gourlay wants the deal while manager Carlos Corberán doesn't — a genuine disagreement that could stall things regardless of the player's efforts.

Perri to Torino — dated itinerary — No longer vague "advanced talks." Perri lands in Turin Thursday for his medical, signs the same day, trains Friday, and is presented to fans Saturday. Loan plus an option worth around £9.4m/€11m.

Rodon's tactical flexibility — The centre-back opened up on drifting forward down the right against Leipzig, assisting Calvert-Lewin's opener. Jayden Bogle backed up his read on the system — part of a fluid 3-4-2-1 shape that's been developing since last November.

Bornauw's Hamburg exit — timeline confirmed — The Athletic now reports HSV expect to complete the loan this week, adding a firm timeline to what had already been "very far advanced."

🔔 Monday's Leeds United round-up: Farke opens up on what's still needed before the window shuts, Largie Ramazani heads into a pivotal week, fresh movement on the Igor Paixão chase, Orlando Gill's latest, and a proper look inside the boardroom with Andreas Dracopoulos.

In this video:

Farke on remaining transfer business — won't name names, but confirms Leeds will "do something" before deadline day. Wing-back cover looks like the clearest confirmed need after Gudmundsson's injury; a back-up striker remains unconfirmed either way.

Largie Ramazani's "important week" — Valencia are no longer the only side in for him, with reports of interest from other clubs adding competition. Leeds still want a permanent sale, not a loan.

Igor Paixão update — Fresh reporting this morning puts a £30m valuation on the winger, with history revealed that Leeds actually had a bid accepted for him last summer before he chose Marseille. Marseille's need to fund a separate signing could accelerate his exit.

Orlando Gill — No fresh movement since the weekend's reported offer, with some outlets disputing whether a bid has actually been submitted at all.

Boardroom insight: Andreas Dracopoulos — The Leeds board member, who joined four months ago, opened up on a really personal history with the club. He was a shareholder back at the turn of the millennium when Leeds' push for Champions League football bankrupted them, recalling desperate phone calls from Scottish investors who'd lost their pensions. He walked away from a second investment attempt before the pandemic over messy finances under Andrea Radrizzani, before finally committing again once 49ers Enterprises took over. He draws a direct comparison between this current Farke squad and the young Leeds side of the late '90s under David O'Leary — and is clear the message now is patience over ambition, echoing Paraag Marathe's "establish residency" line from the summer.
