Having already welcomed Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol, Leeds United will now target a decision to sign another option to the recent Noah Sadiki target.
What Leeds then plans after Bijol
After splashing to sign Bijol d’Udinese, the reports suggest that the 49ers are not finished. Names such as Habib Diarra and Sadiki have found themselves on Leeds’ radar lately and it seems that the addition of another midfielder to the Daniel Farke team will be among the priorities in the coming months.
The whites would have even made an official offer for 24 million pounds sterling to sign Diarra and could get closer to their objective as soon as possible if the reports must be raw. Meanwhile, Sadkiki has also been the subject of an offer reported with the 49ers clearly ready to follow the signature of Bijol by passing big big.
The Star of the St.Gilloise Union would be another impressive signature and could associate Ao Tanaka at the heart of the Farke team to form a midfielder duo capable of reaching the survival of the Premier League and more next season.
What can help their pursuit to sign Sadiki is the news that the rivals of Lyon were relegated to Ligue 2 in the midst of financial problems. Without a direct rival for the signing of the midfielder, those of the midlands could have a simple route towards his arrival.

Leeds targeting Mahdi Camara
According to Beneten France, the 49ers and Leeds are now aiming for a summer move to sign Mahdi Camara, who could arrive as an alternative to Sadkiki. The Brest stadium midfielder would be available for as little as 13 million pounds sterling this summer in what could quickly turn into an agreement in the Yorkshire.

While Camara had a hard time matching Tanaka in possession last season, the Frenchman highlighted his ability to goalscorer in what could offer Farke an unexpected threat in the future.
The formation of a midfielder’s partnership capable of scoring 10 goals among themselves would certainly contribute to a large part towards survival for those of Elland Road given the way in which the Premier League has a history of fronts before sharp.
In addition, the fact that Camara is represented by the same agent that Sadiki can help any agreement this summer. If the latter fails to finish a summer move to Elland Road, this could be an easy transition to negotiate for Camara, which would be an excellent alternative option.
