Brenden Aaronson can kiss goodbye to Elland Road as £30m Leeds transfer news surfaces
Leeds United may well see the departure of some of their stars from the 2024/25 campaign despite their promotion to the Premier League.
While signings are no doubt needed at Elland Road this summer, any incomings could also facilitate outgoings over the next few months.
As Leeds make improvements to their starting XI, multiple first-teamers will lose their place, which may result in transfers being requested throughout the summer.
Brenden Aaronson likely to have played his last Leeds game amid Mateus Fernandes rumours
Aaronson has been a reliable player for Leeds this season as the attacking midfielder netted nine times on the way to the Yorkshire club’s promotion.
However, this is unlikely to save the American from the chopping block this summer.

Reports have recently emerged that Leeds want to sign Mateus Fernandes from Southampton, with the Saints valuing the attacking midfielder at £30 million.
If this happens, Aaronson will surely be on his way out of Elland Road.
There is no chance that Daniel Farke is signing a player for £30 million to sit on the bench, and considering the duo both play in the same position, it is hard to see the 24-year-old sticking around.
Aaronson has already been linked away from Leeds recently, and this transfer will surely speed up the process.
Leeds need to get good money if Aaronson is sold
If Aaronson is sold, Leeds need to ensure that the money they get is substantial.
While the attacking midfielder’s importance will be reduced, he is still a quality player who could contribute next season if needed.
Therefore, the Yorkshire club needs to be demanding at least £30 million for the United States international.
This would allow Leeds to make a tidy profit on the attacking midfielder while also essentially paying for the Fernandes transfer.
