Daniel Farke will be expecting many exits this summer window but one has seemingly been confirmed at Leeds United.

Farke may have to see many exit the door at Elland Road this summer as a serious revamp could happen whether promoted or not.

One name that is certainly under that topic is Junior Firpo, as despite the left-back being one of Leeds‘ most important players, Firpo is unlikely to stay at Leeds.

This is the main one, but it also appears that after Joe Gelhardt’s loan at Hull City, he will also follow the same destiny as Firpo.

However, there is one player who is clearly leaving the club this summer and has now practically confirmed it.

Rasmus Kristensen wants to stay at Frankfurt as Leeds United exit looms

Rasmus Kristensen has always looked likely to leave Leeds and it was just a matter of time before he fully decided on his future.

Since joining the club in 2022 from RB Salzburg, the Danish full-back hasn’t returned for the last two seasons, as after a spell with Roma last campaign, he’s now enjoying life with Frankfurt in Germany.

It’s a shame for Leeds really as the 27-year-old is now on seriously good form, especially after Kristensen pocketed the likes of Rafael Leao as Denmark beat Portugal on Thursday night.

Adding to more concern, Farke could do with full-back cover or starters next season, but Kristensen has made his feeling clear.

Speaking to Tipsbladet, Kristensen talked about his future and how his family are settled in Germany.

“I am still owned by Leeds, so I have to work in that scenario. Those are the facts,” Kristensen said.

“Yes, I would like to (stay at Frankfurt), and I have not hidden that either. It is a place where my family and I feel good.

“I hope we can find a solution to it, but if not, then you have to feel good somewhere else.”

Kristensen’s performance against Portugal may suggest Leeds have made mistake

As mentioned before, the Dane put in a spirited performance in defence against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal.

It might have been a message to Farke to basically say, ‘Look at what you’re missing’ and Leeds might regret selling him as Kristensen is set to leave for just £6.5m.

This would mean a £5m loss from Leeds, and judging by Kristensen’s display against some of Europe’s best, it’s a grave error.

Leeds may have just lost a key option, as Kristensen has found his home in Frankfurt.
