The 25-year-old impressed during his time at Norwich City, contributing 13 goals and 12 assists in 46 Championship appearances .
Sara’s performances caught the attention of Leeds manager Daniel Farke, who is keen to reunite with the player. However, securing his signature is expected to be challenging due to Norwich City’s valuation of approximately £20 million .
Despite the financial hurdle, Leeds are reportedly determined to strengthen their midfield options and see Sara as a viable candidate to enhance their squad. The club’s pursuit of the Brazilian highlights their commitment to making strategic signings to achieve promotion back to the Premier League.
However, the situation has evolved since the initial interest. In August 2024, Sara completed a transfer to Turkish club Galatasaray for a reported fee of €18 million (£15.3 million), with Norwich City potentially receiving up to £20 million including add-ons and a sell-on clause . Since joining Galatasaray, Sara has continued to impress, contributing two goals and five assists in nine Süper Lig matches and one assist in three Europa League appearances .
While Leeds United’s interest in Sara was genuine, the transfer ultimately did not materialize, and he has since established himself in Turkey. The club will need to explore alternative options to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming season.
