Leeds United may be preparing to say goodbye to one of their top earners in 2025 as reports suggest he is becoming unhappy under the management of Daniel Farke.
Following their defeat in the Championship play-off final and subsequent failure to secure promotion to the Premier League, Leeds experienced a significant exodus of key players in preparation for the 2024/25 season.
Among those who left were standout players such as Crysencio Summerville, who joined West Ham, Georginio Rutter, who moved to Brighton, and Archie Gray, who was sold to Tottenham. Glen Kamara also departed for Rennes after a season with Leeds.
Additionally, loaned players like Robin Koch, Marc Roca, Rasmus Kristensen, and Jack Harrison also left the club, with some heading out on loan for another season.
Despite speculations, one player who stayed put was Patrick Bamford. However, recent reports suggest that the experienced striker is now seeking to leave Leeds in 2025, with frustrations growing over his lack of playing time under Farke.
Bamford, who still has two years remaining on his contract, has fallen down the pecking order at Elland Road, making minimal appearances in the Championship. Sources indicate that discussions are underway between Bamford and club management regarding potential offers for his transfer at the end of the season.
As one of the highest earners at the club, Bamford’s injury struggles and limited game time may lead to a mutual decision to part ways, providing a beneficial outcome for all parties involved.
