Farke said: “There are still a few positions that we could look deeper into if I can improve the team. But right now I’m a bit calmer that I’m not in panic mode with the need to do something.
“I think it’s fair to say if there’s a creative offensive player, like the number 10 position, then that’s something that could be useful for our group. Brenden Aaronson has been excellent this season and a key player for us. But maybe we’d have a similar player like him in our group. Of course we have players who can play in this role.
“If there is a solution for a creative player in the middle, it definitely makes sense to stay awake. In all other areas we are covered. The only two [positions] We have to stay awake in my mind is the center position … and maybe a little bit in the forward position. “

The 28-year-old has been with Botafogo since August 2022 and has been a key player for the Brazilian side as he helped them win the Brazilian League and the Copa Libertadores in the 2023/24 season.
He has never played in the Championship or in England before, but he has experience of European football. The defensive midfielder, who can operate as a centre-back, has played for Braga, Valencia, Benfica, Standard Liege and OGC Nice.
Barbosa joining Leeds may depend on whether Farke believes he needs that type of player in his squad, as the Whites already brought in Joshua Guilavogui earlier this season and he has barely featured in the squad.
