Now is the time for Leeds United to offload 2019 Marcelo Bielsa signing: View

Leeds United are facing a challenging summer transfer window, with financial constraints threatening to lose key players like Crysencio Summerville.

To balance the books, the Whites may need to sell goalkeeper Illan Meslier, who despite his inconsistent performances, could still fetch a profit. Meslier has been Leeds’ first-choice goalkeeper for five years, but his value may decrease if he stays in the Championship for another season.

Leeds need to raise £100m in player sales to comply with the EFL’s profit and sustainability rules, and selling Meslier for his Transfermarkt value of €18m would contribute significantly to this goal. The club has ready-made replacements in Karl Darlow and Kristoffer Klaesson, and has also been linked to Swedish international goalkeeper Viktor Johansson.Meslier’s departure would be a fresh start for both the club and the player, allowing him to grow into a top-level goalkeeper elsewhere. His statistics from last season show room for improvement, with a save percentage of 67.8% and a crosses stopped percentage of 4.9%.

While he has been a key player for Leeds, his exit would be beneficial for all parties involved.In other Leeds United news, four young stars are seeking loan exits to gain first-team opportunities, while the club’s pursuit of Fulham attacker Bobby De Cordova-Reid seems unlikely. Journalist predictions suggest Daniel Farke’s side may face a long summer, with potential exits and lack of signings.

Meanwhile, Ipswich Town have joined the race to sign Ben Johnson, a target for Leeds and West Ham.In Championship news, Burnley may lose Ruud van Nistelrooy to Manchester United, while Middlesbrough have signed Delano Burgzorg despite warnings from Huddersfield fans. As the transfer window heats up, Leeds United and other Championship clubs face crucial decisions to shape their squads for the upcoming season.
