Mateusz Klich’s Leeds United career is over after he and the club agreed to release him from his contract ahead of a move to Major League Soccer. D.C. United has been widely reported as the Poland international’s landing spot in the US.
The 32-year-old had 18 months left to run on his Whites deal, but the timing of this opportunity for more stability and a longer deal has forced the issue at Elland Road. Jesse Marsch has admitted he retains some doubts about the exit, but agreed this was a mutual decision on all sides.
Klich leaves West Yorkshire as a legend of Marcelo Bielsa’s era. The midfielder scored the first goal of the Argentine’s tenure in 2018 and proved to be a fixture in his line-up until his sacking last year.
