Leeds United seems inclined to secure star player joe Rodon on a permanent deal in 2024, acknowledging his standout performance at the club, though the potential cost raises concerns.

During mid-November’s international break, it’s customary to evaluate the squad and anticipate needs for the upcoming year when the transfer window reopens.

While Joe Rodon has proven a shrewd addition as a center-back, he remains on loan from Tottenham, not yet a permanent asset for Leeds.

Initially, Spurs quoted £15 million for a permanent transfer, but negotiations led to an agreed loan deal with Leeds for the current season.

Recent performances for Leeds and Wales prompt discussions about a long-term deal in LS11. Nevertheless, TEAMtalk reports that Tottenham now demands £20 million for Rodon in 2024.

“TEAMtalk understands that Tottenham would consider selling him now and are likely to seek a fee of around £20m for his services. If Leeds secures promotion, making Rodon’s stay permanent seems obvious.”

Rodon’s current Tottenham contract expires in 2025, leaving him with the final 18 months as January approaches.
