His performances have not gone unnoticed, and Leeds view Muniz as a player who could add immediate quality and firepower to Daniel Farke’s squad as they aim for promotion back to the top flight.
Leeds’ recruitment strategy this summer is focused on targeting players who not only fit Farke’s system but also show clear potential to thrive in the Premier League. Muniz ticks both boxes.
While no deal has been finalized yet, the growing positivity from Muniz’s entourage suggests that Leeds are edging closer to securing one of their key transfer targets.
With pre-season preparations underway, fans will be hoping this momentum continues and that Muniz will soon be pulling on a white shirt at Elland Road.
