Leeds United wrapped up their pre-season in style on Saturday, cruising to a 4-0 win over Augsburg with their Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest now just a week away.
Attention will now switch back to the transfer market, with the club still looking to strengthen several areas before the window closes.
Daniel Farke wants to add more quality to his squad while also preparing for the departures of a number of players who are no longer part of his plans.
Leeds have already agreed a deal to sign Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back Nico Elvedi, while Sebastiaan Bornauw is set to leave on loan for Hamburg.
However, there is still work to do on the outgoing front, with several players who have no future at Elland Road needing to find new clubs before the transfer window closes.

Club want Leeds United star to do more to leave Elland Road
Bornauw is on the cusp of joining Hamburg on loan this summer, while Lucas Perri is closing in on a loan deal to join Torino in the ongoing transfer window.
However, Leeds are yet to sort out Largie Ramazani’s future with just more than two weeks left in the transfer window.
Ramazani has no future at Leeds, and he has been completely left out of the club’s pre-season plans since he returned to the club from his loan spell at Valencia.
The Spanish club are still interested in the winger, and Valencia chief Ron Gourlay has been in contact with the player and his representatives.
According to Spanish daily Sport, Valencia see three scenarios where they could succeed in signing Ramazani from Leeds this summer.
One of the scenarios is the winger pushing Leeds to negotiate a deal with Valencia and force his way out of Elland Road.
The Spanish club want him to put pressure on the Whites and make more of an effort to get the move he wants.
The other two scenarios are that Leeds eventually agree to accept a loan offer or considerably drop their asking price for a permanent deal.
Largie Ramazani needs to leave Leeds
Largie Ramazani’s time at Leeds United looks to be coming to an end after Daniel Farke left him out of the club’s pre-season tour.
The Leeds boss rarely turned to the Belgian during their Championship campaign, and there is little to suggest that has changed. With Harry Wilson already through the door and Leeds still looking to strengthen on the left, Ramazani has no choice but to leave the club.
Leaving him out of pre-season has also made Leeds’ intentions clear: they want to find him a new club. That leaves the Whites with limited leverage in negotiations, as Valencia and other interested sides know Leeds are keen to move him on and could wait for the asking price to fall as the deadline approaches.
Leeds may therefore have to accept a lower fee than they originally wanted or consider another loan if they are to finally get Ramazani off their books this summer.
I think European clubs seem to see Leeds’s soft touch the club should stick to their guns absolutely no loan sale only
We keep falling into this trap and end up getting screwed every time. Leeds negotiate like amateurs. Dig in and force Valencia to pay up. We need to stop losing money on every deal
