Rasmus Kristensen’s future at Leeds United is under scrutiny, with Daniel Farke potentially looking to move the player on in the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite Kristensen’s versatility, having played in multiple positions during his loan spell at Roma, his performance last season with Leeds, which culminated in the team’s relegation from the Premier League, has raised doubts about his suitability for Farke’s squad.
Paul Robinson, speaking to MOT Leeds News, expressed his belief that Farke will prioritize shaping the team with his own selections, especially considering the team’s previous struggles in the Premier League. Robinson questioned the logic of reintegrating players who were deemed not good enough for the top flight back into the squad, suggesting that Leeds should instead focus on strengthening positions with new talent.
Kristensen, who has been utilized in various roles at Roma, including right wing-back, right-back, centre-back, and left-back, showcases a high degree of flexibility. However, Robinson emphasized that Farke’s desire to build the team with his preferred players might mean Kristensen could be sold if Leeds can secure a suitable fee and find a replacement defender.
This situation unfolds as Leeds United aims to rebuild and strengthen their squad following their relegation, with Farke at the helm looking to imprint his vision on the team. Additionally, Leeds United is reportedly facing interest from Atletico Madrid for one of their first-team regulars, indicating a potentially active transfer window for the club.
