The Yorkshire Evening Post has brought to light Leeds United’s potential to recoup around £10 million through the sale of Brenden Aaronson in the upcoming summer transfer window.

If the American international is transferred after his move to Elland Road for a sum exceeding £25 million, the Whites may face a substantial financial setback.

Despite a underwhelming loan spell at Union Berlin in the Bundesliga, Aaronson could still fetch a price nearing £10 million due to his youth and contract terms.

Leeds United is under pressure to trim their squad this summer, particularly players out on loan.

This necessity is underscored by recent reports revealing the club’s outstanding transfer debt exceeding £190 million, as per their latest financial records.

Following their relegation from the Premier League last season, a multitude of players departed Elland Road on temporary deals, creating a temporary fix that will unravel as these players are set to return to the fold at the end of the season.

Aaronson, who has struggled to make an impact at Leeds United, faces an uncertain future.

With lackluster showings both in the Premier League and the Bundesliga, it is clear that the English game might not be the right fit for him.

Leeds United is keen on offloading Aaronson to free up wages and to maximize their financial returns, even if it means missing out on a significant sum of nearly £15 million after just two years.

The Whites find themselves in a tough promotion battle with Leicester City and Ipswich, with all teams vying for a spot in the Premier League.

Manager Daniel Farke will be looking to guide his team back to the top flight and bolster the club’s finances through player sales during the summer transfer window.
