Leeds United clinched a major transfer coup. The club agreed a loan deal with Brighton & Hove Albion for talented Argentine attacker Facundo Buonanotte. The move materializes immediately in the January 2026 window.
Brighton recalls Buonanotte from his existing loan at Chelsea. The 21-year-old returns to his parent club briefly before heading to Elland Road. Leeds secure him on loan for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
Manager Daniel Farke targets reinforcements to boost promotion hopes. Leeds sit in the Championship’s top positions and chase automatic Premier League return. Buonanotte arrives as a statement signing with flair and creativity. The young star joined Brighton in January 2023 from Rosario Central. He cost around £6 million and quickly impressed with technical skill. Buonanotte combines vision, dribbling, and goal threat from attacking midfield or wide positions.
He earned caps for Argentina’s youth teams and debuted for the senior side. Premier League experience at Brighton showed his potential. The subsequent loan to Chelsea aimed to provide regular minutes, but opportunities remained limited.
Leeds fans celebrate the news enthusiastically. Supporters flooded social media with excitement. They view Buonanotte as the creative spark needed to unlock stubborn defenses. His arrival complements existing attackers like Largie Ramazani and Joel Piroe.
