BAD NEWS: Sources now reveal Daniel Farke Leeds United favorite might see Exist Out of Elland Road Due to PSR terms closing in on club.
Leeds United, having failed to secure promotion, is now preparing for another Championship season with the aim of returning to the Premier League. However, some players may not remain for a second campaign under Daniel Farke, either due to sales to address PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules) or expiring contracts.
Jamie Shackleton, whose contract ends on June 30, is one such player facing an uncertain future. He and Liam Cooper are reportedly in discussions with the club about potential contract extensions.
Despite being a fringe player for much of Farke’s tenure, Shackleton played a crucial role early in the season, with Farke praising him as “seriously underrated” for his versatility. However, his playing time diminished as the squad expanded later in August.
Sheffield United, recently relegated and facing a two-point deduction for next season, are reportedly interested in Shackleton. The Blades, under Chris Wilder, will be looking to bounce back after a poor Premier League campaign.
Shackleton returned from a loan at Millwall last pre-season and initially seemed to be a valuable squad member. However, he often found himself sidelined as new signings arrived.
The article suggests that Shackleton may not meet the standard required for Leeds to win the Championship. It implies that allowing him to move to a club where he’ll have more playing time could benefit his career progression.
