Most Leeds United players have seen their transfer values change over the past year, but not all of them have gone up.
Leeds United are still basking in the glow of an incredible season. While rivals like Sheffield United and Sunderland are going through the stress of the Play-offs, Leeds are kicking it back and enjoying their title triumph.
Daniel Farke guided the club back to the Premier League in stunning fashion as Leeds hit 100 points, scored more goals than anyone else and conceded just 30.
There were some incredible performances over the campaign, with Ao Tanaka, Dan James, Jayden Bogle and Joe Rodon all worthy of being named the Player of the Year.
As a result, several members of the squad have seen their transfer value skyrocket over the past 12 months, though some unfortunate ones have gone in the opposite direction.

Max Wober transfer value drops but Ethan Ampadu’s increases
Surprisingly, it wasn’t James, Tanaka, Bogle or Manor Solomon who saw the greatest increase in transfer value from last year, but Ethan Ampadu.
The captain has seen his approximated value increase by £6.8m, no doubt thanks to his stellar defensive displays at centre-back as Leeds secured the title with a sensational run of late results.
James and Tanaka both saw healthy increases of over £3m, though, while Largie Ramazani went up by £2.1m.
The biggest loser, however, was Max Wober, whose price tag has plummeted by £5.1m after an injury-ravaged campaign.
Leeds spent £11m on the defender in January 2023, only for him to head out on loan to Borussia Monchengladbach a few months later when Premier League relegation was confirmed.
He was welcomed back into the fold by Farke last year but managed just nine games due to injury issues. Leeds may look to sell Wober this summer, but they’re bound to make a loss on him.
Illan Meslier also saw a significant decrease in his value of £1.6m and, given his contract expires in 2026 and his many costly mistakes last season, Leeds will almost certainly get even less for him.
That’s if anyone even wants to buy Meslier, with the club looking to sign a new goalkeeper to replace him, like Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher.
