JUST IN: Leeds United set to retrieve money for terrible flop signing…

Leeds United appears poised to recoup nearly £10 million for their unsuccessful signing, Brenden Aaronson, during the upcoming summer transfer window, as reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post.

According to the tabloid, if the American international, who was signed by Elland Road for over £25 million, is sold this summer, the Whites are likely to suffer a substantial financial loss.

However, due to Aaronson’s age and contract duration, Daniel Farke’s team may still be able to offload him for close to £10 million, despite his underwhelming performance during a season-long loan at Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.

Leeds United faces the necessity of trimming their expenses this summer, particularly regarding their current loan players. This imperative is underscored by recent revelations that the club still owes over £190 million in transfer fees, a burden inherited from the aftermath of their relegation from the Premier League in the previous season.

Although several players had departed Elland Road on temporary terms following relegation, they are set to return to the team at the end of the current campaign, further stressing the club’s financial situation.

Aaronson’s tenure at Leeds United has been disappointing, both in the Bundesliga and the Premier League, prompting the club to seek his departure and recoup as much of their investment as possible.

Given Aaronson’s lackluster performance, it’s evident that he doesn’t fit the English game, and Leeds United is determined to offload him to alleviate financial strain.

Selling Aaronson is imperative for Leeds United, even if it means missing out on approximately £15 million for the midfielder after just two years. Removing his salary from the budget is essential for the club’s financial stability.

Leeds United finds itself in a competitive battle with Ipswich and Leicester City as they all vie for promotion to the Premier League. In the summer, manager Daniel Farke will likely prioritize player sales to alleviate the club’s debt and bolster their chances of returning to the top flight.
