Leeds United are still working on outgoings after the reports from last week. The club is looking to offload some players before bringing in some new faces.
Illan Meslier is still at the club, but has been offered to multiple teams in a bid to move him this summer. Leeds are also eyeing some profit from selling young trio Joe Gelhardt, Darko Gyabi and Sam Greenwood.
Max Wober also revealed during the international break that the Whites are keen on selling him in the near future.

This week, Illia Gruev featured in Bulgaria’s loss to Greece. In the post match interview with BNT News, he spoke on his teammates, saying that the team would have stood a chance with more active players at club level.
“In the national team, you don’t have much time to work. It’s important for the players to play regularly for their teams and to perform at such a level. We have a tough group, but we will give everything we can.
“The Greeks deservedly beat us, and they could have scored more. Unfortunately, this is the reality,”
Gruev’s comments may mean that he acknowledges he should be playing more at club level.

The Bulgarian midfielder’s playing time has been around the same since last season. When he arrived last year, he played 1,774 minutes in the league. This past season, he has played 1,699 minutes.

A lot of factors are involved, but having less playing time this year is quite a mystery. Gruev’s long term injury during the season was a problem, but him being displaced from the lineup is a bit of a concern. And with Leeds set to add further reinforcements this campaign, it could be a sign that the 25-year old should leave.
He has already spoken about a possible return to Germany recently:
”…I find the Bundesliga very attractive but, for now, I want to continue proving myself in England,”
Daniel Farke has a decision to make this summer.
