Leeds are considering a number of additions this summer to prepare for their return to the Premier League next season, and defense will be a key focus.
Leeds are specifically looking for a new right-back. Jayden Bogle was the team’s starter in the Championship, but after struggling in the Premier League with Sheffield United during the 2023-24 season, there is a desire to bring in competition.
And the club’s sporting department has been searching Germany for the player they want to sign.
Leeds want Mainz defender Anthony Caci.
According to Foot Mercato (via MOTLeedsNews), Leeds United are interested in signing Anthony Caci this summer. The 27-year-old defender, who can also play right midfield, is highly regarded in Germany, where he has established himself as an attacking fullback.
Fulham and Borussia Dortmund are also reportedly interested in Caci, which would make things difficult for Leeds. But they would be able to provide a more prominent squad position, which may be a significant advantage.
Last season, Caci contributed seven assists to an outstanding Mainz side that finished sixth in the Bundesliga, qualifying for the UEFA Conference League. It will be even more difficult for him to be lured by a team like Leeds, which will not play European football in 2025-26, but they are determined to give it their best effort.
Leeds has a very busy summer ahead of them. In addition to Caci, they have set their sights on a number of targets in recent weeks, including former Manchester City winger Kalvin Phillips, who is virtually surely leaving.
