Sunday’s morning CONFIRMED news: Leeds Top player jets out of Leeds to NEW CLUB, personal terms to be agreed with Club and will sold for….., is it a good or bad move?

Leeds United midfielder Glen Kamara is close to agreeing personal terms with Rennes, ahead of a transfer to the Ligue 1 club. The 28-year-old Finnish international has been a long-time target of Rennes director Andoni Zubizarreta, and is set to depart Elland Road just 12 months after joining the Whites.

Kamara’s transfer is expected to generate a healthy profit for Leeds United, with the club set to receive a fee of around £8.5million – a £3.5million increase on the £5million they paid Rangers for his services last summer.

While the financial aspect of the transfer is positive for Leeds United, Kamara’s departure raises questions about the club’s plans for the upcoming season. The Whites came close to promotion last season, but losing Kamara – a key player in midfield – could disrupt their continuity.

Kamara’s exit would also leave a hole in the Leeds United midfield, which would need to be filled. Joe Rothwell has already joined the club on loan from Bournemouth, but he is a different profile of player and cannot be seen as a direct replacement for Kamara.

As a result, Leeds United may need to look for more defensive-minded players to replace Kamara, which could be a distraction as the new Championship season approaches.

In other Leeds United news, Fabrizio Romano has dropped a new transfer update concerning Crysencio Summerville. The young winger has been linked with a move away from Elland Road, and Romano’s update may provide some clarity on his future.

Overall, Glen Kamara’s transfer to Rennes is a significant development for Leeds United, and the club will need to navigate the departure of a key player while also strengthening their squad for the upcoming season.
