Leeds United are going to have to spend big money in the transfer window, but there are plenty of Premier League free agents who could save them millions.
A crucial summer lies ahead for Leeds United as they prepare for a gruelling Premier League campaign in which survival is crucial.
With plans to expand Elland Road moving forward, Leeds desperately need to maintain the revenues the top flight provides.
As a result, Daniel Farke wants ‘ambition’ from the owners in the transfer market, with a £100m spending spree already mooted.
However, that transfer budget can be stretched even further if Leeds utilise the free agent market this summer to make good additions without spending a penny.
With that in mind, here is every Premier League player who is set to soon become a free agent.

Every Premier League player whose contract expires in 2025
The end of the football season is quickly approaching and a lot of players could soon be without a club when their contracts expire in June.
Though some may get their deals extended due to clauses or accept new contract offers from their clubs, a lot of players will become free agents and could be signed for nothing by Leeds.
Here is every Premier League player whose contract is currently set to expire in 2025.

Which free agents should Leeds United consider signing?
Leeds have a lot of positions they need to strengthen this summer.
A new goalkeeper is the top priority after Illan Meslier’s costly mistakes saw him dropped, and a left-back or two will be needed if Junior Firpo and Sam Byram leave on free transfers themselves.
Further recruits will be needed up front, out wide and in the heart of midfield, while the club are also keen on signing a centre-back.
That’s a lot of signings to make in one summer but these free agents could be targeted to help save Leeds millions on transfer fees in those positions:
- Ben Mee – Centre-back
- Tariq Lamptey – Full-back
- James Milner – Centre-midfielder
- Joel Veltman – Centre-back
- Tyrick Mitchell – Left-back
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin – Striker
- Abdoulaye Doucoure – Centre-midfielder
- Jamie Vardy – Striker
- Victor Lindelof – Centre-back
- Callum Wilson – Striker
- Ola Aina – Full-back
- Harry Toffolo – Left-back
- Kyle Walker-Peters – Full-back
- Ben Davies – Left-back
- Aaron Cresswell – Left-back
- Craig Dawson – Centre-back
Given the players linked with Leeds so far this summer, it appears the club are looking to bring in solid Premier League experience in their bid to stay up.
There are certainly plenty of free agents who fit the profile and could interest the club this summer.
