Just a dream? Leeds star picks Neymar as perfect signing after Premier League promotion & talk of £100m spending spree by 49ers ownership team

The Whites are readying themselves for a return to the big time in 2025-26. Automatic promotion out of the Championship has been confirmed, with Daniel Farke seeing his side bounce back from the disappointment of play-off final heartache last season.

Firpo has been a key performer for Leeds, with the ex-Barcelona full-back seeing his experience put to good use. He is hoping to be joined by more household names at Elland Road in the not too distant future.

Firpo, who left Camp Nou for West Yorkshire in 2021 when Leeds were a Premier League side, has told Marca when asked who he would bring in if money were no object: “If I could, I would sign Neymar for Leeds.”

Brazilian superstar Neymar is currently back in his homeland with Santos. He has been nursing more injury problems there, at 33 years of age, but is determined to grace the 2026 World Cup and may take on another challenge at club level before reaching those finals.

Leeds will reportedly have the funds available for marquee additions this summer, with it claimed that their 49ers Enterprises ownership team are ready to splash out over £100m on as many as six “major signings”.
