It was a very busy day for outgoing transfer news at Leeds United on Tuesday.
Despite the apparent lack of PSR concern due to the sale of Archie Gray, Leeds are seemingly in talks over a number of exits for their players right now.
Everton have reignited their interest in Wilfried Gnonto, while Junior Firpo’s former club Real Betis are keen on making him their third signing of the summer from Elland Road.
Rasmus Kristensen is now closing in on a move to Eintracht Frankfurt, with Leeds reportedly demanding a permanent fee of £12.6 million. As such, it could well end up being a loan move.
Glen Kamara, of course, then became departure number 13 of the summer as he finalised his move to Rennes, who are also interested in signing Crysencio Summerville.

Gray and Piroe react as Glen Kamara leaves Leeds
Aside from Gray, a lot of the outgoings at Leeds have either been players surplus to requirements, or on the fringes of the first team.
However, Kamara‘s exit is one that does hit the first team hard, considering he went onto play 42 times after his transfer from Rennes towards the back end of last summer.
Leeds had been keen to keep the 28-year-old but clearly they received an offer they felt was too good to turn down in order to make a quick profit.
Kamara actually announced his departure on Instagram before the two clubs had even confirmed the news, and spoke of how grateful he was to have had the chance to play for Leeds.
He wrote: “I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Leeds United for the chance to represent this amazing club. It’s been a short journey but definitely one I will remember for the rest of my life. To the staff, my teammates and of course the fans, I wish you all the best. MOT.”
Gray and Liam Cooper were just two of his former Leeds teammates to wish him well for the future, and clearly he maybe a bigger miss behind-the-scenes than people think.
Joe Rothwell is not Glen Kamara’s replacement at Leeds
The cynical ones among Leeds supporters will view Kamara’s exit so soon after Joe Rothwell’s arrival as a replacement on the cheap.
And while clearly Rothwell will add something different to Leeds’ midfield to what Kamara did in terms of goals, there will be another coming in.
Leeds should have plenty of cash to spend and among those linked so far include Tottenham’s Oliver Skipp, though that looks a difficult deal to pull off.
One thing is for sure, though, Leeds need to make a marquee signing soon just to ease some of the tension among the fanbase.
