Swiss international Noah Okafor, who joined United from AC Milan in 2025, has shone in his first Premier League season with eight goals, including standout strikes in the win over Manchester United.
Leeds turned down multiple approaches, including a late €35m enquiry from Sunderland, viewing Okafor as central to manager Daniel Farke's attacking plans.
Fans hailed the decision as a sign of ambition, protecting squad strength for the campaign ahead while Okafor voiced his commitment to Elland Road.
