Leeds United have a busy summer ahead of them. The Whites know that they have to build a squad good enough to compete in the Premier League.
The summer transfer window has been open for over a week now, and it looks like the club is focused on sales. And also moving some unwanted players from the squad. Just last week, it was reported that Illan Meslier is being offered to clubs in an effort to move him this summer.
Leeds have also taken a decision on Joe Gelhardt, Darko Gyabi and Sam Greenwood. The trio will be available for sale this summer, with the club eyeing some PSR profit.

In a shocking turn of events this week, Leeds defender Max Wober revealed that the club have told him to find a move elsewhere. The Austrian was speaking to local media after he featured in the country’s World Cup qualifier this week:
“Leeds has already made it clear to me that they want to sell me,” he said.
“I might have been able to send out a letter of application [with his display against Romania]. It was simply a good feeling to be back on the pitch and show that I can still play well, and that I definitely deserve to be here. I was extremely pleased that I was able to show other clubs that I’m fit, that I’m still a really good player, and that I don’t want to just rot away in England.”
Now, The Athletic have reported a fee for the defender. According to their sources, any transfer fee over £5million would improve the club’s profit and sustainability (PSR) projections. This would allow Leeds to spend more this summer.
Best move for all parties
Injuries certainly played a part in Wober missing most of this season. But his absence from the first team even when he regained fitness at the start of the year was strange. Maybe Leeds had already informed him of their plans to sell him this summer. If Wober does end up fetching some profit for the books, the move would benefit everyone involved.
