A Leeds United player exodus may be on the horizon, regardless of whether the team secures promotion. With a potential squad overhaul looming, Daniel Farke’s side is nearing promotion after a 2-1 win over Preston North End.
Leeds United are now five points clear of Sheffield United in third place and can almost guarantee promotion on Friday. Amidst the excitement, transfer rumors are already circulating, with several players linked to moves away from the club.
One potential departure is academy goalkeeper Owen Grainger, who is reportedly out of contract this summer. Grainger recently trialed with Sheffield Wednesday’s U21s, impressing with several saves in a 1-1 draw against Brentford.
Leeds United has already replaced Grainger in some sense, with Karl Darlow taking over as the team’s primary goalkeeper after Illan Meslier’s drop in form. The club may look to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer, and the arrival of 18-year-old Robbie Cook in January could impact Grainger’s future at the club.
