Where Leeds United stand in contract talks as Daniel Farke set for bumper pay rise
Leeds United could soon tie Daniel Farke down to a new contract.
The German manager is in the final year of his deal at the Whites, but the club are hoping to keep him around for longer.
In 2023, the 49-year-old head coach signed a four-year contract at the West Yorkshire outfit, tasked with winning Premier League promotion in LS11.
Farke has now managed to keep Leeds in the English top flight for a season and he's set to be rewarded at Elland Road.
The former Norwich City boss was backed by Paraag Marathe and 49ers Enterprises in the transfer window with some quality signings.
With the Peacocks now looking to secure the German manager's long-term future, it will be interesting to see how the situation will progress.
Daniel Farke contract latest at Leeds United
Farke certainly deserves a new contract at Leeds after building a solid foundation at the club.
The Whites will surely be looking to re-establish themselves in the Premier League, and the German manager has shown he has got the experience and tactical nous to take the team forward.
According to talkSPORT on 8 September, Farke is set to be rewarded with a bumper pay rise at Elland Road.
Talks between the head coach and the West Yorkshire outfit's chiefs are ongoing over a new deal.
The German manager is ready to commit his long-term future at the Peacocks after playing an important role in stabilising them.
What Elland Road hierarchy will demand of Daniel Farke
Marathe and the 49ers have put their money where their mouth is after making several impressive additions to the Leeds squad.
Instead of going for quantity, the Whites' recruitment team focused on quality and signed the likes of Harry Wilson, James Trafford and Tarik Muharemovic.
The West Yorkshire outfit spent a significant sum to get the new goalkeeper and centre-back and will now surely want to see Farke lead the club to a top-half finish in the Premier League.
After reaching the FA Cup semi-finals last season, expectations will also be high for the German manager to compete for domestic silverware in the coming years and potentially end the trophy drought in LS11.
