‘Leeds face Rodrigo Muniz dilemma after major Lukas Nmecha update’
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke is set to face key decisions when it comes to bolstering his frontline in the summer transfer market.
The Whites enjoyed a free-scoring Championship campaign last term, notching 95 goals on their way to the second-tier title.
However, Farke is now faced with the difficult task of readying his frontline for next season’s Premier League.
Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Leeds are readying a move for Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz.
Farke has Muniz decision to make with Lukas Nmecha set for Elland Road move
Muniz scored 11 goals across all competitions for Fulham last season and could help Leeds in their battle for Premier League survival next term.
Meanwhile, the West Yorkshire side revealed via X that Nmecha will join on a free transfer next month, once his contract with Wolfsburg expires.
Farke must now decide whether to continue pursuing a move for Muniz too, or to turn his attention towards different areas of the pitch.
Nmecha signing alone may not be enough for Leeds
Having spent the last four seasons with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, striker Nmecha brings plenty of top-flight experience to the table, which could prove invaluable.

However, the 26-year-old has failed to push on since the return of 10 goals in 31 appearances he managed for the German outfit back in 2021/22.
Last season, he scored just three goals in 20 appearances, showing that his attacking efforts alone may not be enough to help Leeds stay in the Premier League.
The best return of Nmecha’s career to date arrived in 2020/21, when he scored 21 goals in 41 appearances during a loan spell with Belgian side Anderlecht.
However, there is a major gulf in class between the Belgian top flight and the Premier League, while the Manchester City youth academy graduate previously struggled for form in the Championship during stints with both Preston and Middlesbrough.
