Brenden Aaronson may bid farewell to Leeds United fans on Saturday as his time at the club appears to be coming to an end. Despite playing a key role in the team’s promotion to the Premier League this season, Aaronson’s future at Elland Road is uncertain.
The US international had a mixed time at Leeds, struggling in his debut season under Jesse Marsch and facing criticism from fans. A loan move to Union Berlin followed, and although he showed promise upon returning to Leeds under Daniel Farke, his future is now in doubt.
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Aaronson may prioritize regaining his spot in the US national team under Mauricio Pochettino. According to reports, Leeds could seek a replacement for Aaronson in the summer transfer window, particularly for the No 10 role.
The club would need to find a suitable replacement to add depth and creativity to their midfield, especially if Aaronson departs. Sam Greenwood can play in the forward midfield role, but his contract expires next season, and it’s unclear if Leeds views him as a reliable option for the Premier League.
