Jack Harrison may find himself back at Leeds United this summer.

The Whites have tried to offload Harrison on several occasions, but still to this day, the former Man City star remains under contract at Elland Road.

Leeds had hope he would seal a permanent move to Everton after a loan spell on Merseyside, though that failed to materialise, with the winger then moving to Fiorentina.

The Italian outfit have the option to make his deal a permanent one at the end of the season, should they choose to do so, with his performances set to play a huge role as to whether it gets triggered.

However, Harrison’s future at Leeds may have just taken yet another twist.

Fiorentina set to part ways with Paolo Vanoli

Paolo Vanoli has been the Fiorentina boss since November last year, meaning he was in charge when the Italian outfit brought Harrison to the Serie A.

He’s handed 19 appearances to the Leeds loanee, with eight starts in the league, and a further four in the Conference League.

Harrison has failed to impress in several of those games, but Vanoli has stuck with him, though that may not be important anymore, with Matteo Moretto having reported that Vanoli is heading to an exit.

Should that be the case, it would cast major doubt over whether Fiorentina would sign Harrison permanently in the summer transfer window.

And if that were to happen, he may be forced to stick around at Elland Road.

Jack Harrison return would benefit no one

Harrison will not get gametime at Leeds next season, and the Whites will simply have no use for him at all.

Putting two and two together, a return to Elland Road would not bring any positives for either party, and not for the first time.

Leeds need to find a way to offload the winger permanently this summer, but their chances of doing so may be hampered by Fiorentina’s managerial change.
