Many Leeds United players have been sold this summer and with the transfer windows of some other leagues still open, there is still a chance more sales could take place at Elland Road.
In the last 24 hours, Liam Cooper’s exit has finally been announced after his contract expired on June 30. He has completed a move to Bulgarian giants CSKA Sofia, where the defender has signed a two-year deal.
It comes after eight sales were made by The 49ers this summer. Georginio Rutter, Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville, Glen Kamara, Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, Charlie Cresswell and Kris Klaesson were all sold.
Plenty more have left on loan including Rasmus Kristensen and Jack Harrison, while plenty have joined Cooper in leaving on a free transfer. But there could be another sale made by the club in the next day.
Farke responds when asked if any others could leave Leeds
Reports emerged this week saying that Turkish side Galatasaray could make a late loan-to-buy move to sign Austria defender Max Wober. Just days after Wober described Leeds as the “perfect fit” right now.
The Turkish window is open until tomorrow, meaning if Galatasaray are to make a move to sign Wober then they will have to move quickly. But Farke says he is 99.9% sure no other players will leave Leeds.
“I have not even thought about this if I’m honest. For that, never say never but we’re not tempted at all. Our group is definitely not that big and we can’t afford to lose any players. 99.9% no one is leaving.”
Even if Galatasaray made Wober move, he’d fail a medical
Reports emerged in Austria that Wober had ‘knee problems’, which is why he missed Austria’s second game during the break. Something which Farke confirmed was true on Thursday afternoon in his presser.
Indeed, if Leeds’ rivals Galatasaray did make a move to sign the former Gladbach and Salzburg star in the next 24 hours, then it might be that he would fail a medical in joining the SuperLig side over the weekend.
Another reason that Wober is unlikely to go as that Leeds are already lacking in options in the middle of the defence and would have to re-enter the free agent market if they were to replace the left-footed ace.
