Leeds Live has yet to make a decision on Liam Cooper’s future, but it seems more likely that he will depart Leeds United than stay, according to reports. The center-back situation at Elland Road is up in the air this summer, with potential movement both in and out of the club.
With Robin Koch already departing for Frankfurt and uncertainty surrounding the futures of Diego Llorente, Max Wober, and Joe Rodon, Leeds could be facing a defensive overhaul. Ethan Ampadu’s impressive season may attract interest, while Charlie Cresswell’s lack of game time could see him leaving as well.
Despite not being a regular starter last season, Cooper’s experience and leadership qualities could be valuable in the Championship. While a new signing or existing player may step up to replace Rodon, keeping Cooper for another year could provide depth and stability to the squad. The uncertainty surrounding his contract and the potential need for a firesale make his future uncertain, but his presence may be crucial for Leeds as they aim for a top-flight return.
