Leeds could now sell £11m ace on permanent transfer despite agreed loan deal

Leeds United may be set to sell one of their senior squad despite agreeing a loan deal this summer, according to a new report.

More incoming traffic at Elland Road

It's already been a busy summer for Daniel Farke and Leeds United ahead of the new Championship season, but it shows no signs of slowing down.

Archie Gray and Glen Kamara have both left the club in deals worth around £50m, with the sale of Gray key to Leeds finally being on the financial level playing field after missing out on promotion to the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Charlie Cresswell has joined Ligue 1 side Toulouse and loan duo Marc Roca and Diego Llorente have both completed permanent moves to Real Betis. Robin Koch, Luke Ayling and Jamie Shackleton have all also left on free transfers, while arrivals have been slow at Elland Road with only Joe Rodon coming permanently so far.

Now, they are determined to see another man out in the form of Rasmus Kristensen, who is set to join 2022 Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt in the upcoming campaign.

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the Danish defender is on a long-term loan move, while Frankfurt have an option to buy the defender for £15m at the end of the campaign should the German outfit opt ​​to make the move permanent, a move that would make him their second record signing. Now, there could be more money coming into Elland Road in a strange way.

The transfer of borrowers can already be done permanently

That comes courtesy of Jack Harrison, who is currently on loan with Everton in the Premier League. The England international spent last season with the Toffees and a clause in his contract allowed him to be loaned out again for the upcoming 2024-25 campaign, which the Toffees duly took up.

But now, it can be done permanently before the season starts. This comes from a shocking report by Gipe Me Sport, which claims the Merseyside club could be looking to “negotiate the terms” of a deal by “developing” a permanent move.

That is the result of their transfer plans elsewhere, where they are exploring moves to sign both Chelsea's Armando Broja and Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips on loan this summer. However, Premier League rules state that only two can be made by any Premier League club in a season, causing tension at Goodison Park.

And Harrison, who cost Leeds United £11m in 2021, could be the cheapest permanent signing, with the striker valued at £15m by transfer site Transfermarkt.

Leeds, of course, will be under no obligation to agree a permanent deal, with the attacker still having four years to run on his £90,000-a-week deal at Elland Road.
