While Leeds United continue to pursue targets as the transfer deadline approaches, the club is working on other deals. Fans are to expect some departures in the coming weeks after recent news.
Pascal Struijk, Max Wober, Isaac Schmidt and Jack Harrison are among the names to have left this summer.
Leeds have actually done a solid job of clearing space in the first team, and offloading huge contracts. This will in turn boost the club’s chances to land more transfers as the window progresses.
Joe Gelhardt and Largie Ramazani are among the few players left who might leave Elland Road.
Valencia continue to hold interest in Ramazani, but other clubs are said to have joined the race this week. The Spanish side are confident of a deal, and the winger has made his preference clear.
Gelhardt continues to draw interest from the likes of Wrexham, Birmingham City and Hull City.
Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic recently spoke and hinted that the Tigers will be signing the forward this summer.
Leeds United transfer deal stalls after major development
Lucas Perri is another player expected to leave Leeds United in the coming days.
The Brazilian keeper has been waiting for the green light since the Whites started talks with Manchester City over James Trafford. And now that the England star has arrived, the picture has become clearer.
Torino want to seal the deal, and a medical has been booked for Thursday.
However, Tuttosport reported that a deal has not yet been finalized. Journalist Matteo Moretto also revealed that Ligue 1 side Marseille have made enquiries over the last few hours.

Torino source Toro Goal has now revealed the latest surrounding Lucas Perri.
They report that a deal between Leeds and Torino has yet to be finalized despite reports of a medical in the next 24 hours. Marseille have come in strongly, and contacted Perri’s representatives on Monday.
The French side want a permanent deal, and see Perri as their first choice.
Now the Brazilian has to choose between a move to Turin, or playing Europa League football with Marseille this season.

Leeds will benefit from this situation
Marseille’s interest is a huge boost for Leeds United.
Per the reports, the French side want a permanent deal immediately to replace Rulli who just joined Manchester City.
They have an upper hand on Torino as they want Perri in, and they are playing in the Europa League.
Leeds also seem to prefer the Brazilian make a permanent exit rather than a loan deal. So if Marseille are able to present a good enough offer to the 49ers, the club wins.
They offload Perri and his contract and make enough money to sign a backup goalkeeper.
Reports suggest that Leeds could get up to £12 million for the 28-year old.
