Leeds United’s Premier League Plans Take Shape with Bold Move for Daniel Peretz
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes are on Leeds United and their ambitious return to the Premier League. One of the most intriguing developments right now is the club's pursuit of Bayern Munich goalkeeper Daniel Peretz—a move that could signal a major shift in Leeds' goalkeeping future.
Peretz, the 24-year-old Israeli international, finds himself at a crossroads. After signing with Bayern Munich in 2023 from Maccabi Tel Aviv, he’s only managed seven appearances across two seasons. It’s clear he’s craving first-team football, and he made that ambition very clear in a recent interview with BILD. He’s not looking to leave permanently—he dreams of being Bayern’s number one—but a loan move is the immediate goal.

That’s where Leeds comes into play. Fresh off a hard-fought return to the Premier League, the Whites are assessing their options in goal, with Illan Meslier’s future far from guaranteed. Meslier, while promising, has struggled with consistency. His performances, including a string of high-profile errors during the promotion campaign, have led many to question whether he’s the right man to guard the posts next season. Karl Darlow filled in admirably during crunch time, but at 34, he's more of a stopgap than a long-term solution.
Peretz, on the other hand, offers youth, potential, and a modern profile. He’s already Israel’s first-choice keeper and has earned comparisons to Iker Casillas for his agility and shot-stopping ability. Beyond raw talent, he also fits Daniel Farke’s possession-based style, thanks to his calm distribution and comfort on the ball.
Leeds’ edge in this transfer saga might just be Manor Solomon. The Tottenham winger, who spent time on loan at Elland Road, has a strong connection with Peretz through the Israeli national team. Their familiarity could help sway Peretz toward West Yorkshire, especially with Champions League-chasing PSV also pushing hard for his signature.
The message from Leeds is loud and clear—they’re not just here to make up the numbers in the Premier League. They’re building smart, looking for value, and planning with intent. If they can land Peretz, it’ll be a statement signing: young, hungry, and ready to prove himself at the highest level. For Leeds fans, this might just be the first of several moves that turn survival into something much more ambitious.
