Leeds United will look to sign 21-year-old Danish international Conrad Harder from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig this summer.

According to a report by Corriere della Sera via Sport Witness, Conrad Harder is the subject of interest from Leeds United. The Whites are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the final days of the ongoing transfer window, and they have set their sights on the 21-year-old RB Leipzig centre-forward.

Per Corriere della Sera, Sevilla and Lazio are also keen on signing Harder, with a move to La Liga appealing to the young striker. However, the report has added that Leeds United may have leapfrogged the other suitors in the battle for the Dane’s signature after advancing talks for a summer deal.

Who is Conrad Harder?

Conrad Harder is the latest promising prospect from his homeland to rise in prominence. However, the 21-year-old has had to remain patient at his current club, having been in and out of the starting lineup since joining RB Leipzig from Sporting CP last summer; he has managed only 1,074 minutes of game time in 33 outings thus far, chipping in with four goals and four assists.

The Danish international did not start Leipzig’s first game of the 2026/27 season either, though he has scored a goal in his only appearance thus far. Despite irregular game time, Harder has retained popularity in the market, with Leeds United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.

Premier League move on the horizon?

Leeds United’s interest in Conrad Harder is understandable. The Whites are scouring the market for a striker, as they have sanctioned Joel Piroe’s loan move to West Ham United. Additionally, Lukas Nmecha has been inconsistent since arriving at Elland Road last summer, leaving Dominic Calvert-Lewin as the only reliable striker in Daniel Farke’s squad.

With Leeds United eager to challenge for European qualification this season, they need more quality in the final third. So, after signing Harry Wilson, they want a striker who can compete with Calvert-Lewin for a starting berth. Harder has thus emerged as a viable target, with the West Yorkshire outfit intensifying their efforts to sign the Dane.

Other strikers have also emerged on Leeds United’s wishlist, though they recently received rejection from Ermedin Demirovic. With another Bundesliga-based striker now a target for the club, the challenge now is to turn the Danish attacker’s head amid his desire to join Sevilla.
