FLW takes a look at all the latest news from Elland Road as the Whites prepare for another season at Championship level
It’s going to be a busy summer at Elland Road as Leeds United, who lost out on promotion, get ready for another season in the Championship.
After losing in the play-off final, chairman Paraag Marathe said that the team “needs to make trade-offs,” so the Whites will have to fight to hang on to some of their best players and might even have to sell to raise money.
There seems to be a lot of comings and goings at Elland Road in the upcoming months, especially with the summer transfer window about to open.
In light of that, the most recent Leeds United news is provided below.
The Yorkshire Evening Post reports that when Brenden Aaronson returns from his loan at Union Berlin, he will be a member of Daniel Farke’s team for the 2024–2025 season.
After the Whites were relegated from the Premier League in 2022–2023 due to his lack of success, the American international exercised his contract’s loan release clause to leave Elland Road.
Nevertheless, Aaronson and Farke had a meeting that appeared to go well, and the 23-year-old will be involved in the team’s promotion push the following year.
The former Red Bull Salzburg player will have to fight to win over the club’s supporters who weren’t thrilled with his exit strategy or performances.
center-back Charlie Cresswell is expected to depart Leeds United this summer, and several European teams are interested in acquiring him.
The 21-year-old barely appeared in seven games for Leeds this season across all competitions, as Farke had declared in January that he wasn’t “mentally ready” for action.
