JUST IN: The departure of Leeds United Key Player is now close to happening after sources reveal verbal agreement has been reached to Join Bundesliga side.
Leeds United is open to selling more players after Archie Gray’s departure, but they want to do so on their own terms. The club is currently in discussions with several teams about potential transfers for some of their players, following Glen Kamara’s confirmed move to Rennes.
Rasmus Kristensen appears to be the next player likely to leave, with a verbal agreement on personal terms nearly reached with Eintracht Frankfurt. The clubs are now working to finalize the deal.
Other players linked with possible transfers in the last two days include Wilfriedu Gnonto, Junior Firpo, and Crysencio Summerville, with the latter potentially joining Kamara at Rennes.
Regarding Junior Firpo, Leeds has reportedly made their position clear behind the scenes. The club is willing to let him go this summer due to his contract situation. Firpo has less than a year left on his current deal, and Leeds doesn’t seem interested in offering him a new contract, despite his important role in the second half of last season.
This summer represents Leeds’ last opportunity to receive a transfer fee for the 27-year-old. His former club, Real Betis, is said to have initiated talks for his return.
Firpo himself appears keen on rejoining Real Betis and is reportedly willing to make compromises to facilitate the move. Given his high salary at Leeds, he might be open to a wage reduction to secure the transfer, potentially reuniting with former Leeds teammates Marc Roca and Diego Llorente at Betis.
