West Brom manager Carlos Corberan has a release clause in his Baggies contract amidst talk of Leeds United being interested in the Spaniard.
Daniel Farke is under pressure at Elland Road after a slow start to the season that sees them sit ninth in the Championship league table at the moment.
The Leeds hierarchy are demanding promotion to the Premier League this year from the German after last season’s playoff final defeat heartbreak.
His future at Leeds is not under any imminent threat and the club owners are keen to give him more time to turn things around in the coming weeks.
However, his long-term future at Elland Road remains under the scanner and Corberan is one of the managers the club are keeping tabs on.
The former Leeds United coach has a release clause in his West Brom contract
Corberan is not an unfamiliar name at Leeds as he was in charge of their Under-21 side previously and was part of Marcelo Bielsa’s first-team coaching staff as well.
The Spaniard has done well since becoming a manager and led West Brom to a top-six finish in the Championship last season.
He is someone Leeds would be interested in taking back to Elland Road if they have to sack Farke at some point this season if results do not see an upturn.
According to Football Insider, Corberan has a £2m release clause in his West Brom contract.
If Leeds are to pursue the Spaniard they would have to pay that figure to get him out of his deal at the Hawthorns.
West Brom have made a strong start to the season and are sitting at the summit of the Championship table after five games this term.
They would be reluctant to lose Corberan to a promotion rival such as Leeds but the release clause takes the matter out of their hands if the Spaniard wants to return to Elland Road.
