Leeds United have less than two weeks to go until their Premier League curtain-raiser against Everton.
Between now and then, the Whites have one more pre-season fixture to go, a clash with AC Milan in Dublin. The game will be Daniel Farke's final chance to see his squad in action before the top-flight kick-off.
However, Farke is going to be hoping Leeds can bring a couple more players through the doors before they meet Everton on Monday, August 18. Following the Whites' 1-1 draw against Villarreal - on Saturday - Farke called on the club's board to sign more attackers and another full-back.
Leeds have signed seven players with Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Sean Longstaff, Lucas Perri and Anton Stach arriving in west Yorkshire, but Farke wants more to follow. Here, Leeds Live has taken a look at the latest transfer rumours from Elland Road;
Joseph exit
Mateo Joseph's exit from Leeds is being held up despite an agreement with Spanish side Real Betis, according to Diario de Sevilla. The 21-year-old - who has three years left on his contract - has informed the club of his desire to leave Elland Road this summer.
Betis have since moved to attempt to sign Joseph, but they can't reach Leeds' mooted £8.6million asking price. It's been claimed that Spain U-21s international has resorted to putting pressure on the Whites by missing a significant amount of pre-season.
The Whites may need to lower their demand for Joseph if they hope resolve the issue quick. Girona are among the others that are interested in the forward.
Leeds Live says: Leeds need to find a resolution for Joseph as soon as possible. He's a sellable asset, and doesn't want to play for the club, that's clear to see. The best situation all-round would be to cash in and get a profitable amount, having signed him for around £1.5m three years ago.
There is no doubt that Leeds are going to make profit - should they sell - it's just how much. I think, given his age and disappointing scoring record in England, a price of around £6m is fair.

Krstovic update
Roma have 'ended their interest' in signing reported Leeds target Nikola Krstovic - according to Tutto Mercato - via LeedsUnited.News. The 25-year-old scored 12 times in 38 appearances for Lecce last season.
The report states: "Nikola Krstovic, on his way out of Lecce, also remains in the background. Roma have definitively withdrawn their interest in the striker, having previously pursued him but opted to focus on Evan Ferguson.
"Now, the foreign option remains open, especially the one that could take him to the Premier League where Leeds are interested."
However, Leeds may have a problem because Krstovic has cited a desire to remain in Italy, which is expected to make it difficult for personal terms to be agreed. That is unlikely to stop the Whites from making an effort to sign the Montenegro international, though.
Leeds Live says: It's clear that Leeds need to sign (at least) one more striker before the end of the summer transfer window. While Joel Piroe has impressed in pre-season and Lukas Nmecha has looked sharp, the Whites can't afford to be relying on them for guaranteed goals in the Premier League.
For me, Leeds should be looking at signing a proven top-flight performer and somebody that can hit the ground running straight away. As such, Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz is the man the Whites should be targeting.
