Here are the latest updates I can confirm from public outlets:
-
Joel Piroe has been linked with potential moves and interest from Celtic and Rangers during early 2026 transfer chatter, though Leeds United have publicly indicated they’re not forcing him to leave and he’s shown willingness to fight for his place. Leeds’ stance suggests any move would require mutual agreement between player and club rather than a forced sale.[3][4]
-
In late 2025, there was added speculation about an exit being accelerated, with reports suggesting Leeds might consider selling if a suitable offer and a club align on role, though no definitive deal materialized at that time. Subsequent reports in early 2026 continued to echo Celtic/Rangers interest alongside ongoing Leeds planning for their forward options.[2][4]
-
Earlier in 2025 there were positive notes about Piroe’s fitness and availability upon returning to training, but he remained a key asset who had contributed goals and assists prior to his injury layoff, keeping him in transfer discussions among several clubs.[1]
If you’d like, I can monitor for more current confirmations (e.g., official club statements or credible outlets) and summarize any finalized transfer developments, including potential loan vs. permanent moves and affected timelines.
