Leeds United is preparing for an important summer transfer window, with chairman Paraag Marathe stressing the importance of adding players with an 'extra level' of quality. In a recent interview with BBC Radio Leeds, Marathe expressed confidence in the strength of the current squad, pointing to the long-term contract secured for captain Ethan Ampadu as a clear indication of the club's ambition. Last summer, Leeds United focused on physicality in their signings to maintain their Premier League status, but Marathe insists that the expectations for future signings have increased. He stated, 'This coming season and window is about improving the squad even more, so it requires an extra level to be able to come into the squad and earn minutes right away.' The chairman acknowledged that while the club has a strong squad, some turnover is necessary to ensure competitiveness. He also commended the recruitment team's efforts last season, despite initial doubts about their experience in the transfer market. Looking forward, Marathe anticipates that changes in financial regulations will present short-term challenges but believes Leeds United will be in a better position in the future. He concluded by emphasizing the club's strategic approach to recruitment, aiming to enhance creativity and overall squad depth.
