‘Special’ £60m attacker is on the verge of joining Leeds United…

Daniel Farke has a lot to sort out between now and the end of the summer transfer window.

Not only does he need to try and keep hold of his star players at Leeds United, if that’s possible, but he also needs to sort out the future of some players who went out on loan last term.

Several players departed temporarily last summer – and it’s unclear whether some of these first-teamers will be included in Farke’s plans for the 2024/25 campaign and potentially beyond.

Some players’ futures have already been decided, with Jack Harrison returning to Everton on loan for another season, Sam Greenwood making a loan switch to Preston North End and Sonny Perkins being loaned out to Leyton Orient.

Others have left the club permanently, including Luke Ayling, Diego Llorente, Robin Koch, Marc Roca and Luis Sinisterra, with Llorente, Roca and Sinisterra all being sold for fees.

This has helped the club to generate a decent amount of revenue – and they could be due another windfall soon – with Cody Drameh yet to sign a new deal.

However, if he moves to a new club, that could allow the Whites to secure compensation.

Brenden Aaronson is expected to be involved next term, but it’s unclear whether Rasmus Kristensen and Max Wober will still be at the club when the summer transfer window ends.

Both players still have three years on their contracts and neither have clauses in their deals allowing them to secure loan exits without Leeds’ sanctioning these departures, according to Leeds Live.

The same outlet has also reported that the duo indicated to Farke last summer that they would be willing to stay and help the Whites in their quest to get back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

But they decided to go out on loan, with Kristensen going on out loan to AS Roma and Wober joining Borussia Monchengladbach, and this is something Farke was unhappy about.
