Leeds United in talks for RB Leipzig striker Conrad Harder before deadline

Summary

Leeds United has initiated a late inquiry for 21-year-old Danish striker Conrad Harder from RB Leipzig. Manager Daniel Farke seeks attacking depth behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha. Initial interest appears to have cooled, leaving Lazio and Galatasaray in advantageous positions. Harder’s playing style may not align with Farke’s current tactical requirements, which emphasize positional discipline and ball retention. Discussions also continue regarding Belgian winger Largie Ramazani's potential departure and a deal for German goalkeeper Michael Zetterer.
