“Good bye, service is no longer needed” Leeds United ready to sell player for ‘significantly less money’ – Want him gone ‘as early as possible’

Leeds United are reportedly willing to sell American attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson for a significantly lower price than they paid for him, according to German outlet Berliner Kurier. The 23-year-old spent this season on loan with Union Berlin, where he managed two goals and two assists in 38 games, and is said to be happy with his life in Berlin both on and off the pitch.

However, Leeds United have decided to sell Aaronson, and are willing to let him leave for a significantly lower price than the €33m they paid for him. The Whites are said to be looking for a quick sale, with the report stating that they want to sort out his future “as early as possible”, preferably before he goes to the Copa América.

Union Berlin are said to be interested in signing Aaronson permanently, but may struggle to afford the €14m valuation, unless they raise funds by selling Robin Gosens. Other Bundesliga sides have also expressed their interest in the American, making it difficult for Union Berlin to sign him on a new loan deal.

Aaronson himself is said to be looking for a permanent exit from Elland Road, in order to secure his place in the national team for the next World Cup. A loan move is not favored by the player, who wants a long-term solution to his future.

Leeds United’s willingness to sell Aaronson for a lower price is a significant U-turn, given the investment they made in him just a year ago. However, the club’s change in management and coaching staff, as well as Aaronson’s limited impact on the pitch, may have contributed to their decision to cut their losses and move on.

The situation is a reminder of the risks and uncertainties of the transfer market, where clubs can quickly change their minds and priorities. For Aaronson, the move to Union Berlin was a chance to revive his career and find regular playing time, but it remains to be seen whether he will be able to secure a permanent deal with the German club or whether other suitors will emerge in the coming weeks.

In any case, the situation highlights the fluid and unpredictable nature of the transfer market, where players and clubs are constantly adapting and adjusting their plans in response to changing circumstances. As the summer transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see how Aaronson’s situation develops and whether he will find a new permanent home in the coming months.
