The first sale has already been agreed and more could follow him out of the door at Leeds United due to spending concerns. Leeds United have a delicate balance to enact this summer. The squad needs a revamp and in order to perform this, more spending headspace will have to be created through the sale of players.
By now, many will know that Leeds will have a lower three-year loss scope (£61million) than their Premier League rivals (£105m). It means United will have to be both cut-throat and shrewd in the summer window. This summer is arguably more vital than the one of 2020 given the growing gap between promoted clubs and the other 17 teams. The right talent needs to be brought in to bridge the chasm but numbers are also needed. The Championship is a longer season but it’s easier to get away with fielding make-shift options in certain positions upon an injury crisis. These get easily and wilfully exposed in the top flight. So squad numbers ought not to drop too low but at the same time, the amount of contracted players leaving the club could reach double figures in a bid to raise the overall level of the squad. One player’s sale has already been confirmed.
Rasmus Kristensen will officially join Eintracht Frankfurt on June 1, having seen a deal agreed with Leeds back in April. The package could see the Whites rake in £7.7m. And he will only be the start.
