In a surprising twist, Brenden Aaronson has decided to make a comeback at Leeds United in the upcoming season. Last year, he was one of the first players from the squad to leave on loan after the team faced relegation, leading many to believe his time with the club was over.
However, after his stint at Union Berlin ended, Aaronson has reportedly opted to give it another shot at Elland Road following discussions with Daniel Farke about his future. Not only has he turned down a return to Union Berlin, but he has also waived the option of going out on loan again, as was previously agreed in his contract.
With the fans skeptical about his return, the question now is who else from the loaned-out players will follow his lead. Players like Jack Harrison, Max Wober, Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, and Rasmus Kristensen have uncertain futures, and LeedsUnited.News has analyzed their chances of returning.
Harrison, the longest-serving player who left on loan, is likely to stay at Everton after an average season, despite the opportunity to return to Elland Road. Roca is closer to a permanent deal with Real Betis, ruling out a reunion with Aaronson in midfield.
Wober, like Roca, may struggle to secure a permanent move due to financial constraints, but a return to Leeds is more probable for him. Kristensen is expected to return for pre-season after Roma showed no interest in keeping him, and he could fill the right-back position that Leeds are looking to strengthen.
Llorente, who had a successful loan spell at Roma, is also unlikely to return as he is not part of the plans for Leeds going forward. His future may lie elsewhere, whether Roma decides to make his move permanent or not. Ultimately, the fate of these players will be determined by their respective clubs’ financial situations and their performance during the loan spells.
