The latest Leeds United news as speculation continues to surround the future of Daniel Farke amid reputed planned talks with club chairman Paraag Marathe imminent

Leeds United have reportedly sounded out three potential replacements for Daniel Farke amid uncertainty about the German boss' future.

The club's chairman, Paraag Marathe, seems set to be at Elland Road on Monday evening amid claims of a flight from San Francisco earlier in the day. Such plans are understood to have always been in place for the final home match of the season.

However, amid speculation about the future of Farke following Leeds achieving Premier League promotion, names of possible contenders are now emerging.

Three new names, who are notably out of work or soon due to be once this season ends, emerged on Monday as being of interest to Elland Road chiefs.

The Guardian claims initial soundings have been made toward Davide Ancelotti, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Roger Schmid. Ancelotti, who turns 36 this season, is a Real Madrid assistant coach alongside his father, Carlo. However, The Athletic reported over the weekend that he has decided to begin his head coaching career.

Ancelotti Sr will reportedly become the next Brazil national team coach after leaving Madrid at the end of this season. His son will reputedly only join him with the national team in the absence of any desirable offers.

There is seemingly less speculation about Van Bronckhorst and Schmidt. Besiktas sacked the former in late November six months after appointing the ex-Rangers manager on a two-year contract with the option for a third.

The team were at the time sat sixth in the Super Lig table but are now fourth under his replacement, former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Meanwhile, Schmidt was most recently in charge of Benfica for two years until being sacked in late August.

The former Bayer Leverkusen, Red Bull Salzburg and PSV coach was under contract until the end of next season, but lost his job after failing to win two of their opening four matches this season.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
