Ipswich Town have made the first effort to sign a player who is anxious to join Leeds United this summer, with Leicester City also planning a bid for the star.
Leeds are working to get players out of the door, with Archie Gray close to a move to Tottenham, and The Whites need to cash in on a big-name player to comply with Profit & Sustainability Rules.
Diego Llorente is close to joining Real Betis, while Jamie Shackleton and Liam Cooper are free agents after their contracts expired. It’s unclear whether an announcement will be made about the duo.
Leeds have yet to make any incoming transfers as they wait to know how much cash they have to spend and what they can use. Of course, one player who is high on the agenda is Tottenham’s Joe Rodon.
The situation surrounding Joe Rodon and a move to Leeds
Rodon’s relocation to Elland Road is in jeopardy after failing to achieve promotion. It comes after playing 50 games for Leeds last season but failing to lead the Whites to victory in the play-off final.
Leeds will be unable to spend heavily this summer as a result of their defeat, whereas Tottenham has extended his contract for another year. Daniel Levy’s side wants £10 million for Rodon.
Despite not being promoted, Rodon remains a priority target for Leeds, and he is eager to return to the club. Other clubs are interested, including Southampton, Ipswich Town, and Leicester.
