Daniel Farke confirms that Leeds United are set to sell a “really good” player for £4 million or more,

Leeds United have reached an agreement to sell a “really good” player

permanently in the summer, and a new update on his future has been shared.

Leeds United’s January Transfer Window

The Whites and manager Daniel Farke

waited until the end of the winter window to make their only signing of the

month, right-back Connor Roberts, who joined on loan from Burnley. The Wales international appears to have already set

his sights on making his move permanent, saying after signing on deadline day

Football is a funny game, so I’ll do my best to make a good impression on and off the pitch, and maybe in the future it

will change from a straight loan, but for the time being, I’ll just come here and try to help on and off the pitch.

The goal is to get promoted, and it

doesn’t matter if that means playing half the games, all of the games, or just a few.

I just want to be smiling alongside the rest of the lads at the end of the season.”

Djed Spence’s season-long loan was cut short, and Luke Ayling went on loan to

Middlesbrough. Roberts will now compete with Archie Gray and Sam

Byram for a starting spot in the Championship under Farke as Leeds look to reclaim their Premier League status.

Last month, Ian Poveda left for Sheffield Wednesday, Darko Gyabi joined

Plymouth Argyle, and Sean McGurk signed with Swindon Town.

Leeds was also able to secure new contracts for Gray and Mateo Joseph in early 2024, and the club’s focus will now

shift to summer planning, with a new deal for Wilfried Gnonto also in the works.

Leeds also has a number of players out on season-long loans following their

relegation last season, including Luis Sinisterra, who appears to be on his way

to Bournemouth permanently before the end of the season. Another is defender Diego Llorente, who is currently playing

for AS Roma in Italy, and it appears that he will soon leave Elland Road on a permanent basis.

According to recent reports, Roma and Leeds have reached an agreement to sign

Llorente on a permanent basis for €5 million (£4.2 million).

Despite plans for a full-time move to Rome, Llorente’s long-term future may

not be there. According to the report, Roma intends to sell the defender once

he joins them in the summer, hoping to make a profit as the Serie A club needs to earn €50 million from sales.
