Leeds United want to improve their attack by signing VfB Stuttgart’s Ermedin Demirović this summer.
The striker has starred for the German club since joining them from FC Augsburg in 2024.
After finishing his debut season with 17 goals and six assists, he managed 15 goals and five assists last season. That’s despite a foot injury keeping him on the sidelines for two months.
Leeds United are looking to bring him to Elland Road. Two months ago, Sport Witness covered claims from Italy that the Whites could be favourites to sign Demirović, valued at €30m.
Leeds United want Demirović
Recent claims have already covered Daniel Farke’s side desire to sign the Bosnia and Herzegovina international. Slobodna Bosna, after relaying that, share their take on this case.
The Premier League side have signed Bosnian defender Tarik Muharemović and are now ‘very keen’ on securing his compatriot’s services.
Leeds United have followed Ermedin Demirović for a while and want to add him to their attack this summer.
His profile and qualities fit what they are looking for in a striker, and the 28-year-old’s experience is also another factor.
There are also claims of Juventus and Fenerbahçe interest, but there isn’t anything concrete with these two clubs.
Leeds United have to convince striker
Ermedin Demirović has two years left on his contract, and Transfermarkt value him at €22m.
Amid interest from several clubs, the frontman’s desire is to continue at the Bundesliga side. He can play in the Champions League with VfB Stuttgart, which is another factor that convinces him to stay. Leeds United can’t offer European football.
Slobodna Bosna state the German have a difficult decision to make if there is a ‘serious offer’ on the table. In short, the Whites or another club could tempt them to sell him.
If Leeds United can tempt Stuttgart, then the next step is to convince Demirović. It’s too early to suggest whether the Whites can tempt both the player and his club.
