TEAMtalk reported that Leeds United are exploring possible January attacking reinforcements, with Gabriel Sara among the players on their radar at Galatasaray. The outlet said Leeds want to add further creativity and attacking quality to their squad in the New Year.
Sara remains under consideration
TEAMtalk reported that Leeds are continuing to monitor Sara’s situation ahead of the January transfer window. According to TEAMtalk, Sara is one of three possible options Leeds are assessing alongside players from Coventry City and Lyon.
Sara has two goals and four assists from 10 appearances so far this season. He spent two seasons at Norwich City before moving to Galatasaray in 2024, and he still has two-and-a-half years remaining on his current Galatasaray contract.
Leeds' recruitment focus
TEAMtalk reported that Leeds are keeping an eye on the January window for possible solutions because of a lack of imagination and creativity in the final third and a failure to execute the right pass. TEAMtalk also reported that Leeds are working on potential targets in two key areas, with another playmaker and a forward on their recruitment agenda.
TEAMtalk reported that Leeds were among a number of clubs to make enquiries about Sara during the summer transfer window. The outlet also reported that Sara is understood to harbour an ambition to play in the Premier League.
Other names on the list
Jack Rudoni is another player who has attracted Leeds’ attention. TEAMtalk reported that Rudoni has been monitored closely over the past 12 months.
Leeds admire Lyon’s Pavel Sulc. Sulc has a knee injury which is expected to keep him sidelined until around March, and TEAMtalk reported that Leeds' interest in him has been put on the backburner for now.
Wider interest in Sara
Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Everton and Crystal Palace have also been credited with an interest in Sara.
