According to Football Insider reporter Pete O’Rourke, Leeds United are seeking to strengthen their defence by targeting players from Wolves following their relegation from the Premier League. O'Rourke suggested that many clubs will try to exploit Wolves' situation by offering their players a chance to stay in the top flight. Santiago Bueno, a 27-year-old Uruguayan international, is identified as a target for Leeds. O'Rourke noted that the defender has impressed this season and has played more frequently than he had since arriving in 2023. The interest is reportedly due to manager Daniel Farke's desire to improve his defensive unit, particularly if the team maintains a three-centre-back formation, which would require more options. O'Rourke explained that for this reason, Bueno and his Wolves teammate Ladislav Krejci are players being considered by Leeds. The defender has earned 8 caps for Uruguay, and his contract at Wolves is set to expire in June 2028. His current Transfermarkt market value is €10.00m.
