Contract season has continued at Leeds United with Diego Llorente’s signature on new terms at Elland Road after the earlier news this week of Pascal Struijk's agreement. The 29-year-old’s original Whites contract expired in the summer of 2024, but this new deal keeps him with Leeds for two extra years until June 2026.
Llorente will be approaching his 33rd birthday when his new deal expires, which means West Yorkshire may remain his home right through to his first thoughts of retirement from the game. The centre-back is the second in a large crop of players with deals expiring in 2024 the club must look to decide on.
Liam Cooper, Mateusz Klich, Rodrigo, Stuart Dallas, Robin Koch, Jack Harrison and Cody Drameh all have contracts understood to be expiring in a fraction over 18 months. In the past, United have looked to announce contract extensions in a batch across several weeks.
