Medical done: Rasmus Kristensen passes tests to complete Leeds United loan exit – Di Marzio
Rasmus Kristensen has passed his medical tests at Roma to complete his Leeds United loan exit, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Sky Sports journalist noted that the Whites defender has completed all necessary tests to make a loan move to the Serie A club.
Right-back Kristensen, who was also utilised at centre-back last season, only joined the Elland Road club from Red Bull Salzburg last summer.
Posting a Kristensen update on Twitter, Di Marzio wrote that the player’s medical examinations at Roma are now finished.
The Dane made 30 appearances in all competitions last season for Leeds; 26 in the Premier League and four in the FA Cup.
Done deal
The Denmark international is the latest player to make an exit from Elland Road this summer, with the likes of Robin Koch and Brenden Aaronson also leaving the newly-relegated club.
All three are off on temporary deals, with centre-back Koch joining Eintracht Frankfurt and attacker Aaronson joining Union Berlin.
And a few more exits can definitely be expected, with not many senior stars wanting to stick around at the West Yorkshire club next season.
Kristensen didn’t exactly set Elland Road alight upon his arrival from Austria, with the right-back even losing his place in the starting XI to Luke Ayling at one point during the campaign. He did, however, score three goals.
The 26-year-old returned in the latter stages of the season, but he was ultimately helpless as Leeds suffered a disappointing relegation to the Championship.
The club now have a huge task on their hands in trying to get promoted back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, a feat they will have to attempt without right-back Kristensen, who has landed on his feet with a move to Italy.
