Brazilian store Globo Esporte says whites have submitted around 16.3 million pounds, but the Swiss has more than 18 million pounds.
That would be a benefit for Basel, which recently activated a permanent option in its loan agreement to single out Cabral for a measly 3.6 million pounds.
The 22-year-old had scored 18 goals in 39 games for the Swiss Super League following his initial arrival from Palmeiras last summer.
The report adds that Marcelo Bielsa in particular asked Leeds to point to Cabral, who would also be willing to move to the Premier League.
The former of striker Palmeiras and Ceara still retains a small percentage of his economic rights.
However, Leeds would be willing to assume full ownership by paying Cabral’s full prices to Basel’s majority shareholders, who would then be willing to delegate the cash to the two Brazilian clubs.
His agent Paulo Pitombeira is said to have had a smart date with Bielsa after Lille’s deal with Thiago Mendes when the Argentine coach in 2017.
Cabral is the newest leader in being connected to a season at Leeds, with Patrick Bamford as the recognized option on Elland Road.
Premier League debutants have already boosted their lead with a double shot for Jack Harrison on loan and Wigan’s Joe Gelhardt.
Although Leeds discovered him to land at his defensive targets, Liverpool and Chelsea joined the race for Ben White.
Central defender White, 22, is suddenly called after impressing on loan to championship winners in his season.
The Yorkshire club has already made an offer of 35 million pounds, but Brighton is about to turn it down, valuing its star at more than 50 million pounds.
