12 possible exits and 6 potential arrivals - How Leeds United's transfer window may play out

Leeds United are bracing themselves for a busy summer of both incomings and outgoings in the transfer market, as they look to make their bid to win promotion to the Premier League a success at the second time of asking.

After missing out on promotion in the Championship play-off final, the Whites will need to rebalance the books to keep their spending within PSR rules and some big outgoings are expected in order for United to comply with those regulations.

Leeds also have a number of returning loan players they will need to offload, too, but several departures also means Daniel Farke's side will have to recruit well in order to compete at the top end of the Championship table.

As such, Leeds Live has taken a look at all the potential incomings and outgoings Leeds will be looking at this summer as they look to right the wrongs of last season.

Incomings

Ben Johnson

Johnson is set to become available on a free transfer next month unless he agrees fresh terms with West Ham United. The Hammers have offered the former England under-21 international a new deal but the lure of regular first team football could tempt him away from East London.

The 24-year-old made just 14 Premier League appearances last term and given Leeds are in the market for a new right-back this summer it could prove to be a move that benefits all parties.

Joe Rodon

Rodon seriously impressed for Leeds last season during his loan spell from Tottenham and he is almost certain to leave North London this summer.

The question remains whether the Whites can convince Rodon to drop down to the Championship for another season amid possible Premier League interest. Steve Cooper's appointment at Leicester City could well see him make a move for Rodon, who he managed at Swansea City.

Alfie Gilchrist

Gilchrist broke in to the Chelsea first team last season and can play anywhere across the back four. The 20-year-old made 20 appearances for the Blues across all competitions last term and could be available on a loan deal this summer.

Oliver Skipp

Leeds could well be in the market for a central midfielder and Skipp could be available to leave Tottenham this summer.

The former England under-21 international midfielder saw regular first team football hard to come by last season and he enjoyed a successful loan spell at Norwich spell under Leeds manager Daniel Farke.

Callum O'Hare

O'Hare is set to be available on a free transfer and is one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in the Championship. He scored 10 goals for Coventry City last season and the 26-year-old is ready to take the next step in his career.

The Aston Villa academy graduate has been likened to Jack Grealish and Leeds would be hard pressed to find better value in the transfer market this summer.

Karamoko Dembele

The former Celtic winger, who made his debut for the Scottish champions as a teenager, is free to leave French side Stade Brest this summer after a successful loan spell at Blackpool last term.

The 21-year-old scored nine goals and registered 14 assists for the Tangerines last term and given the hype that surrounded the former England youth international in his teenage years, it could well prove to be a cost-effective deal to strike in Leeds' search for a new wide-man.

Outgoings

Rasmus Kristensen

Kristensen failed to impress at Roma during his loan spell last season but has no real future at Elland Road - particularly after Cody Drameh was offered fresh terms after his loan spell at Birmingham City.

The Danish international still has three years remaining on his current deal at Elland Road and the Whites could do with getting the 26-year-old off their books.

Diego Llorente

Similarly, Llorente didn't do enough in his own loan spell at Roma to warrant a permanent move and the Spanish international defender will return to Elland Road with no future at the club.

He, too, is under contract until 2027 and Leeds will hope to move him on this summer to lessen the load on their wage bill.

Junior Firpo

Firpo forced his way back into the Leeds team last season but his Premier League level wage packet, coupled with the fact he has one year remaining on his current contract, means the Whites will try and cash in this summer.

The Dominican international has had tentative interest from La Liga clubs and a move back to Spain could well suit all parties this summer.

Max Wober

Wober is currently part of the Austria squad at EURO 2024 and he impressed during a loan spell with Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach last season.

Gladbach are keen to re-sign Wober but, with three years remaining on his deal at Elland Road, Leeds would prefer a permanent exit over another loan departure.

Ilia Gruev

Gruev forced his way in to the Leeds side towards the end of the season but talk of a return to Germany, where he starred for Werder Bremen, won't go away.

Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund have been linked with a move for the Bulgaria international and if that interest turns into a substantial bid then it could prove too good to turn down for both the player and the club.

Sam Greenwood

Greenwood joined Middlesbrough on loan last season but the Boro opted against turning that temporary stay into a permanent one.

The 22-year-old has not done enough to warrant a consistent run in Leeds' midfield and, with two years remaining on his deal, it may suit all parties if the former Sunderland and Arsenal youngster is moved on this summer.

Marc Roca

Roca is expected to turn his loan stay at Real Betis into a permanent one, although talk of that deal being struck imminently has been played down.

Nonetheless, it would be a huge surprise if the Spanish international remains a Leeds United player at the end of the summer.

Crysencio Summerville

Summerville was Leeds' best player last season but given the interest that now surrounds the Dutch youth international, as well as the Whites' need to sell players to fall within PSR regulations, a summer exit seems highly likely.

Brighton, Liverpool, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Newcastle are among the clubs linked with the 22-year-old, who scored 21 goals and registered 10 assists last season. Reports suggest Leeds could command a fee of £35-40million to sell him this summer.

Wilfried Gnonto

Gnonto was the subject of interest from a number of clubs last summer but a move never materialised for the Italian international forward.

He remained at Leeds and scored nine goals in all competitions, in a campaign where he perhaps failed to hit the heights expected of him in the second tier.

Nonetheless, at 20 years of age, there is still huge upside for any club signing Gnonto in terms of the potential he has to offer and he remains one of Leeds' most sellable assets this summer.

Jack Harrison

Harrison impressed on a loan spell at Everton last season and now is expected to rejoin the Toffees on another loan deal this summer. The 27-year-old has a clause in his contract which allows him to join Premier League clubs on loan meaning Leeds will miss out on getting a transfer fee for him again this summer.

Georginio Rutter

Rutter has had tentative interest from clubs in Germany and France after rediscovering his best form for the Whites last season. Leeds' record signing is a player they won't want to lose but should that interest result in any bids being made they will have a decision to make.

Joe Gelhardt

For one reason or another, Gelhardt has failed to consistently hit the grade required to nail down a consistent place in Leeds' starting XI.

The 22-year-old has three years remaining on his deal and after the emergence of Mateo Joseph, alongside established forwards Joel Piroe, Patrick Bamford and Rutter, his chances of first team football at Elland Road seems limited.
