Michael Zetterer nears move from Eintracht Frankfurt to Leeds United

Summary

Michael Zetterer is reportedly close to transferring from Eintracht Frankfurt to Leeds United. Negotiations between the two clubs are at an advanced stage as Zetterer seeks a new opportunity, having lost his starting position at Frankfurt. At Leeds, he would serve as a backup to James Trafford, who recently joined from Manchester City. However, Frankfurt needs to secure a replacement goalkeeper before finalizing the transfer, with Noah Atubolu of Freiburg being a top target. Leeds also plans to offload Lucas Perri as part of their squad adjustments.
