According to Beren Cross, Leeds United could sell Crysencio Summerville and Illan Meslier if they receive suitable bids, despite both training well under Daniel Farke.
The writer revealed on the LeedsLive website (19 July) that the whole first-team squad has returned to training under the new management, including players who were on international assignment last month.
Despite the fact that both the Dutch winger and the French custodian have been training well since their comeback, both are set to go this summer, along with Junior Firpo, if the appropriate bids arrive before the window closes.
“If the right offers come in, the stance on Meslier and Summerville, who are understood to have already trained well under Farke, and Junior Firpo could be a little softer.” “However, Farke’s opinion is critical in all of this,” they added.
“As manager, he will have the final say on transfer deals and the composition of his squad.” Those players that supporters may have sent to the scrap heap or thought were done with Leeds could still fight their way back if they impress the German.”
A two-edged sword
Leeds supporters and the club must have expected greater activity in the transfer window at this time in the summer, with both incoming and exiting players.
Ethan Ampadu is the lone new player at Elland Road, with Robin Koch, Brody Aaronson, Diego Llorente, and Rasmus Kristensen all on loan.
Despite reports of interest in Tyler Adams, Jack Harrison, and Wilfried Gnonto, there has been little discussion about the futures of Firpo, Summerville, and Meslier.
With the new season only a few weeks away, Farke will have to make a huge decision on whether to incorporate them in his plans for the new season as we get closer to the first game.
There’s no reason they shouldn’t be involved if they’re training well, but the risk is that an offer comes in and they’re suddenly no longer accessible, putting preparations at risk.
It’s a significant choice for the boss, but he has the final word on transfers and will make the final decision.
