BAD NEWS: “Not staying” Daniel Farke’s Leeds United next Season dream Team receive unexpected HUGE gap after sources confirmed undisputed starter already agreed on personal terms to leave ELLAND ROAD.
Leeds United has been successful in offloading some unwanted players recently, but now their key players are attracting interest from other clubs. While Rasmus Kristensen has agreed to personal terms for a likely loan move to Eintracht Frankfurt, other important players like Wilfried Gnonto, Junior Firpo, and Crysencio Summerville are reportedly in discussions about leaving Elland Road.
Regarding Junior Firpo, there’s been a significant development. Despite Leeds’ shortage of defensive options, Firpo’s former club Real Betis is in talks with Leeds about his potential return. Spanish media outlet Ficherio reports that Firpo has already agreed to personal terms with Betis, even accepting a pay cut to facilitate the move.
Leeds finds itself in a challenging position with Firpo. While he became a crucial player under Daniel Farke, providing eight assists from January onwards last season, his contract expires in less than a year. Leeds hasn’t offered him a new deal, making this summer their last opportunity to receive a transfer fee for him.
Given these circumstances, Leeds is reportedly open to Firpo’s departure, although it would leave them severely short-staffed in defense. If the transfer goes through, Leeds will need to be very active in the transfer market to bolster their defensive options.
