Sport nationLeeds United is bracing themselves for the surprise return of £10 million star Rasmus Kristensen this summer. The Danish fullback was sent on loan to AS Roma last summer after a disappointing start to life in English football, but the Italian side has made a U-turn on his future.
Kristensen made 26 appearances for Leeds in the Premier League last season, but struggled to settle under three different managers. He was subsequently loaned out to Roma, where he played under Jose Mourinho until the Portuguese coach was replaced by Daniele De Rossi. However, Kristensen’s future at Roma is now uncertain, with the club not looking to make his loan deal permanent.
According to Football Insider, Kristensen is not in Daniel Farke’s plans moving forward, which could mean that Leeds will sell him elsewhere. The 26-year-old still has three years remaining on his contract with Leeds, meaning the club could ask for a decent fee this summer.
This development could have implications for another Leeds player, Kalvin Phillips. The England international has been linked with a move away from Elland Road, and Kristensen’s return could pave the way for Phillips’ departure. Phillips has been a key player for Leeds, but the club may be willing to cash in on him if they receive a suitable offer.
With Kristensen’s return and Phillips potentially on his way out, Leeds’ squad is set for a shake-up this summer. The club will be looking to strengthen their team as they aim for promotion back to the Premier League, and the future of both Kristensen and Phillips will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
Why Kalvin Phillips will be the next in line:
Kalvin Phillips has been a mainstay of Leeds United’s midfield since his debut in 2015, but his future at the club is uncertain. With Rasmus Kristensen’s return and the club’s desire to strengthen their squad, Phillips could be the next player to leave Elland Road.
Phillips has been linked with several Premier League clubs, including Manchester City and Liverpool, and Leeds may be willing to cash in on him if they receive a suitable offer. The 27-year-old has been an important player for Leeds
