Leeds United’s summer transfer plans hinge significantly on the outcome of their next 12 days, particularly their Championship play-off semi-final against Norwich City. The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw, leaving the tie finely balanced.
Should Leeds progress to the final and win the play-offs, it would likely lead to an exciting summer focused on incoming transfers rather than player departures. However, if they remain in the Championship, key sales may be necessary to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations and offset unpaid transfer installments.
The potential departure of Illan Meslier has been highlighted, regardless of the play-off outcome. Meslier has faced criticism for his performances, particularly in high-pressure situations. His shaky display against QPR and nervousness at Carrow Road have raised concerns, prompting suggestions that this summer might be the right time for him to move on from Leeds United.
Reports suggest that Leeds are already eyeing potential replacements, with Rotherham United’s Viktor Johansson mentioned as a target. Johansson’s availability for a relatively modest fee and his potential as an upgrade over Meslier could pave the way for a change in goalkeeping personnel at Elland Road.
