Victor Orta has been busy on bringing in new signings to Leeds United this summer, as Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen have joined the club from RB Salzburg, whilst the club are said to be preparing a move for Bayern Munch midfielder, Marc Roca.
There will surely be outgoings, with some of the fringe players potentially wanting to move on to play more games. Meanwhile, there are questions over the futures of Leeds' star players as Raphinha is coveted by Barcelona and Kalvin Phillips is said to be a target for Manchester City and Liverpool.
Alongside the incomings and outgoings, there are also decisions to be made about whether players nearing the end of their contracts should be offered new deals. If they are not, the club could choose to allow them to remain at Elland Road for another year and leave on a free transfer or they could sell them this summer in order to ensure they don't miss out on a transfer fee.

Here are the list of players:
Luke Ayling
This will be a difficult decision for Leeds to make. Ayling is the vice-captain and has been an incredible servant to the club, ever since arriving from Bristol City. He played a major role in Leeds' title winning season in 19/20 and was a key player in their first season back in the Premier League in 16 years.
However, Ayling will turn 31 in August, meaning he would be almost 32 when his contract expires in June 2023. There are several reasons to keep him around for this season though, despite his injury which will keep him out of the start of next season. Despite the arrival of Rasmus Kristensen as the new first-choice right-back, Ayling can cover minutes at right-back and centre-back if needed. As such, it would make sense to keep him on and allow him to leave on a free next summer, waved off as a hero.
Adam Forshaw
In the case of Forshaw, things are a little easier as the club agreed a new deal with him after he made a comeback from an almost two-year injury last season. That contract included a clause where the club could trigger an optional extension on the current terms, meaning they do not need to rush to a conclusion over the midfielder.
Crysencio Summerville
When it comes to Summerville, there are a few factors to consider. The young Dutchman is keen for first-team football and wanted to go on loan in January but a deal was not done.
Despite shining in the Under 23s, he has not been able to make the most of his first-team chances thus far and may need a loan again. However, Leeds would surely only allow him to go on loan if they could agree a new deal for him before hand. Otherwise, he could be sold this summer.
Sam Greenwood
After a strong end to the season, which saw Greenwood given his first Premier League start on the final day of the season, it seems highly likely that he will be offered a new contract. He could go on loan in 22/23 to gain more experience but given that he has begun to be given more opportunities under Jesse Marsch and with the five substitute rule coming in next season, Leeds are likely to keep him around for more.
Leif Davis
The left-back could have already left the club, as his loan at Bournemouth included the option to buy him. However, Scott Parker's side chose not to take that option and he returned to Leeds this summer. Given that the club already accepted an offer for him to leave permanently, it would seem that they will look to find a permanent home for him this summer instead.
