Union Berlin want to sign Leeds United attacker Brendan Aaronson amid release clause development

Bundesliga club Union Berlin want to sign Leeds United attacker Brendan Aaronson after being alerted to his release clause, according to Mike McGrath.

The American is available for transfer following the club's relegation to the Championship, with his contract having a release clause allowing him to leave on the cheap.

And now Union Berlin want to add the 22-year-old to their squad ahead of their first Champions League campaign next season, with the USMNT player expected to leave according to The Telegraph (30 June).

"Union Berlin have looked at a deal for Leeds United midfielder Brenden Aaronson as they attempt to build their squad for the Champions League next season," they wrote.

Needed

The quicker that Aaronson leaves the club the better, because he represents everything that has gone wrong at this club over the last 12 months.

His arrival was highly anticipated after we barely avoided relegation under Jesse Marsch, and his career started brightly with a goal in a 3-0 win over Chelsea.

But he never scored for us again and his performances were shocking for a while, so it was no shock that he found himself in and out of the team towards the end of the campaign.

There is somehow plenty of interest in him though and that's good for Leeds because it means we won't be stuck with him going into next season and can replace him with people who actually want to be here.

The quicker his exit is confirmed the better, and hopefully we can recoup the majority of what we spent so we can just forget this ever happened.

In other Leeds news, negotiations could come to an end this weekend as ace heads for exit.
