“His future is NOT in England’ — Leeds United star that helped the club gained promotions to the Premier League has NOW arranged his bags to LEAVE Parkhead for a Bigger team – Player wants to play in Europe and NOT only battle to stay afloat in the PL

Leeds United supporters understand that this summer, the squad will see several adjustments as they gear up for the Premier League. Following the upheaval of last summer, the club is now well-accustomed to facing transitions.

Falling short in the play-off final last year triggered a mass departure of players. The team parted ways with Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville, and Georginio Rutter among many others.

Fans were left underwhelmed, as the incoming signings failed to spark excitement. However, the club still wrapped up the season with promotion and secured the league championship.

With the Whites returning to the Premier League next season, a few exits are anticipated. Despite a reported £150 million war chest, some players will need to be moved on to comply with PSR regulations.

Leeds United star likely to leave:

This summer, Leeds have three players approaching the end of their contracts. And with no updates regarding possible extensions, all three are expected to part ways in the coming weeks.

Sam Byram, Junior Firpo, and Josuha Guilavogui are the trio potentially on their way out of Elland Road. Reports suggest that Guilavogui’s contract will not be extended, while Byram’s future at the club looks increasingly uncertain.

Junior Firpo’s situation remains unresolved. The left-back displayed his value this season and played an instrumental role. During the title celebrations, he was seen on Instagram appealing to club chairman Paraag Marathe for a new deal.

The 28-year-old is set to land a new contract, but not from Leeds. TEAMtalk reported that the fullback is in negotiations with Real Betis, while Graeme Bailey noted that Barcelona are preparing to make a move.

Wherever he ends up, his next chapter will be in Spain, not England. With his current contract expiring soon, Firpo is eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement ahead of a summer switch.

Leeds miss out on major opportunity:

Despite lingering doubts over Firpo’s defensive consistency, he contributed significantly to the attack. And as the club heads into the Premier League, offensive support will be crucial. Renewing the 28-year-old’s contract might have cost less than what Leeds are likely to invest in a new left-back this summer.
