The 49ers and Leeds United have apparently set their eyes on signing an impressive Manchester City target in the upcoming months, which would be a statement move.
Leeds has a huge summer planned.
This season, Southampton, Ipswich Town, and Leicester City learned the hard way that it’s more difficult than ever to survive in the Premier League. The fact that Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are the teams closest to the bottom three in the current campaign should serve as a reminder of just how much of a gap Championship teams currently have to close.
Nonetheless, Leeds will enter England’s top flight hoping to avoid the same mistakes that led to instant relegation for Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich. That is, of course, easier said than done, but club chairman Paraag Marathe has already reiterated that he knows the extent of the challenge ahead, whilst also publicly backing Daniel Farke.
“I’m very excited to run it back with Daniel and collaborate with him,” he told reporters during Leeds’ recent title celebrations. I have no illusions that it will be simple. The three promoted teams have dropped down to earth in the last two seasons, but we have one advantage above them: Daniel Farke. I have put a stop to the conjecture. He’s my man.

With multiple targets already vying for the spotlight, Marathe and the other people working behind the scenes at Elland Road must now concentrate on possible incomings. His position is as obvious as day.
Jamie Vardy and Beto are among names already named, as the 49ers appear to be concentrating on attacking acquisitions in the upcoming months. According to speculations, one specific star may even be back on their radar before they make their Premier League comeback during the lengthy summer.
Graeme Bailey, a transfer writer, claims that the 49ers now have Gabriel Sara “on their radar” as Leeds makes plans to sign the Manchester City target this summer.
