How much Leeds United could save amid Jack Harrison exit news

Jack Harrison looks to have no future at Leeds United.

While most of the focus has been on incomings at Leeds this summer, plenty of attention will also have been placed on those likely to depart.

Patrick Bamford has already been told he has no future at Elland Road, while a handful of others are also likely to be moved on if the chance arises.

One of those will almost certainly be Harrison, who has done little to impress since his return to Leeds this summer, though his contract situation will be a concern.

Harrison is Leeds United's top earner

It seems like Leeds will look to cash in on Harrison this summer, and if they do, they will free up a significant amount of money from his wages alone.

Via Capology, Harrison is the highest earner at Elland Road, with a reported wage of £90,000 per week, followed by Dan James on £70,000 per week.

Harrison still has three years remaining on his contract, which, if he were to see it out, would see Leeds pay him over £13.9million in wages.

That does not include any bonuses in his contract, showcasing just how important it will be for the Whites to secure an exit for him this summer and use the saved funds to bolster their squad elsewhere.

Farke cannot rely on Harrison this season

The 28-year-old hasn't impressed at Leeds or Everton, and based on that, Farke simply cannot include him in his plans for the season.

Leeds need to take their chances in the Premier League, and Harrison has quite evidently shown that he is not the man to achieve that.

His output is poor, and the Whites cannot afford to have any passengers if they are to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
