Exits are going to ravage Leeds United’s squad this summer, that much is clear, but Elland Road’s hierarchy will know not everyone can go. There needs to remain some nucleus or backbone from last season’s unit to prop up this transfer window’s new arrivals.
The likes of Illan Meslier, Junior Firpo, Robin Koch, Marc Roca, Rodrigo and Luis Sinisterra are expected to find straightforward routes out of the club this summer. There will be more who fall into the same category: interested in leaving with willing buyers waiting and Leeds open to selling.
Tyler Adams and Jack Harrison stand out as first-team regulars Leeds would like to keep in the building for the coming promotion tilt. However, their own personal ambitions coupled with the weight of lucrative interest surely make it almost impossible for the Whites to retain them in the Championship.
