Leeds' position
Leeds are determined to reward the manager who guided them back into the Premier League in 2025. TEAMtalk reported that sources believe Leeds remain confident of reaching a full agreement with Farke as they look to secure his long-term future at Elland Road.
RB Leipzig interest
TEAMtalk reported, via Graeme Bailey, that RB Leipzig have been monitoring developments and are understood to have taken note of Farke's work in England. Leipzig appointed Martin Demichelis in the summer following the departure of Ole Werner.
