Leeds United are one of four clubs reportedly interested in signing Wolves star Santiago Bueno this summer. The Whites are close to securing their Premier League status for another season after their promotion from the Championship last term.
Daniel Farke & Co will already have an eye on the summer transfer window, with the plans likely to be dependent on whether or not the club are still in the Premier League.
One club that will not be in the top flight next season is Wolves, and it seems that some members of the team at Molineux are already being linked with moves away this summer.
Sport Witness have reported that Leeds are expressing an interest in signing Bueno, but are joined by three of their Premier League rivals in the battle to sign the centre-back.

Crystal Palace, Brentford and West Ham are also reportedly interested in signing Bueno this summer, with the player determined to remain in the Premier League after Wolves’ relegation was confirmed earlier this month.
The report goes on to claim that Leeds have already made an approach to Bueno about a potential move to sign the 27-year-old this summer, as have Palace, Brentford and West Ham.
It remains to be seen what asking price Wolves would demand for Bueno, with the defender moving to Molineux from Girona in the summer of 2023 for a reported fee worth around £8.5million.
