Another Leeds United player is closing in on the exit door with an agreement on personal terms with a new club close.
It is looking like a mass exodus is on the cards from Elland Road this week with a number of players seemingly in talks over potential exits.
Glen Kamara looks set to be the first out of the door with a move to Rennes close to being finalised, after he underwent a medical at the French side today.
Everton are also back in talks with Leeds over a deal for Wilfried Gnonto, while Real Betis are in discussions for Junior Firpo, with the defender keen on returning to his old club.
This arrives at a less than ideal time for Leeds with their first pre-season friendly at Harrogate Town on Friday night, and a slow start to the window in terms of incomings.
Rasmus Kristensen’s Leeds exit moves closer
That aforementioned trio are not the only players looking set to be on their way out, either, with a new development on Rasmus Kristensen‘s future having arrived today.
Kristensen is due to return to Thorp Arch for pre-season imminently after being granted extra time off due to his involvement at Euro 2024.
Daniel Farke has been giving consideration over whether to bring him back to Leeds this season, but that decision is one that may not even be needed.
It was revealed earlier today that Eintracht Frankfurt are now interested in signing Kristensen this summer, and journalist Florian Plettenberg has shared a new update.
The Sky Sports Germany reporter has claimed that Kristensen is close to a ‘verbal agreement’ over personal terms with Frankfurt, and is indeed keen on the move.
However, Leeds are demanding around £12.6 million to let him go, meaning a deal is still yet to be agreed between the two clubs.
There has also been ‘talks and ideas about a loan’, with Frankfurt keen to reunite Kristensen with his former Leeds teammate Robin Koch.

49ers would be pulling off a masterstroke by getting £12.6m
Leeds spent £10 million to sign Kristensen in 2022 and given the two years he has had, turning a profit on him would be incredible business.
However, it would appear that Frankfurt are reluctant to meet that asking price at this stage with a deal not yet having been agreed.
If Leeds are to let him leave on loan again, they simply have to insist that an obligation-to-buy is included in the deal for next summer.
Clearly it is never going to work for Kristensen at Leeds and so there needs to be a permanent exit pathway for him in place.
