Leeds United has been closely associated with the potential transfer of Emiliano Buendia to reunite him with their manager, Daniel Farke. Nevertheless, their aspirations have encountered a setback due to Bayer Leverkusen's interest in the player. While Leeds might still attempt to present a strong offer, their current position in the Championship, compared to Leverkusen's ability to offer Champions League football, makes them the less favored option in the transfer competition. Despite official denials, it is understood from sources that Buendia is indeed of interest to Farke, although Leeds has not yet made a definitive move to secure his services.

Leeds United have expressed interest in acquiring Emiliano Buendia from Aston Villa. According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Leeds are adopting a strategic approach in the transfer market, aiming to secure Buendia as a crucial addition for their Premier League aspirations. Aston Villa is reportedly open to the idea of Buendia's departure but insists on a transfer guarantee should Leeds achieve promotion. Villa has set Buendia's valuation at approximately £30 million and requires any prospective club to cover his £75,000 weekly wages. The discussions are said to involve a possible loan arrangement with an obligation to finalize the transfer permanently.

Emiliano Buendia, a 28-year-old attacking midfielder from Aston Villa, has been linked with a move to Leeds United. TV commentator Ian Darke has urged Buendia to consider a loan move to Leeds United to gain regular game time. Darke expressed his belief that Buendia could excel in the Championship and that a loan to Leeds would be ideal for him to regain confidence and play regularly. Buendia has struggled for game time at Aston Villa, having not started a single game in the Premier League or Champions League this season. A loan move to Leeds United could help him secure regular playtime during the second half of the campaign, potentially leading to a permanent move in the summer if he impresses.

Leeds United is reportedly considering a move for Emiliano Buendia, who has been struggling to secure a regular spot in the Aston Villa lineup. Sources indicate that Villa is open to allowing Buendia to leave in January, but a transfer to Leeds appears improbable for reasons that have not been specified. Ben Jacobs of TEAMtalk has suggested that the Argentine playmaker, who has been capped once for his national team, has seen limited playing time this season. This reduction in action is primarily attributed to the outstanding performances of Morgan Rogers, which have led to Buendia's diminished role. Although Villa is willing to facilitate his departure, the specific reasons hindering a transfer to Elland Road remain undisclosed.
