Leeds United managing director Robbie Evans has confirmed that the club and head coach Daniel Farke are in agreement as they work on finalizing a new contract. Farke, who guided Leeds to a 14th-place finish in the Premier League and an FA Cup semi-final last season, is currently in the final year of his contract. Evans praised Farke's work, stating, "He's done a fantastic job," and emphasized that the club wants him to remain with Leeds long-term. Evans noted that discussions have been ongoing for three months and that both parties are aligned in their goals. Unlike the initial hiring of Farke in 2023 or last-minute deals, there is less pressure this time, allowing the club to take their time in reaching an agreement. "We have time to get it right as far as what he wants and what we want," he said. He added that he is confident the club will reach a deal, as they are still working together effectively. Leeds United had a productive summer transfer window, signing several key players. The club acquired England goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City in a deal worth up to £45 million, along with defenders Tarik Muharemovic and Nico Elvedi, and Fulham winger Harry Wilson. Deadline-day additions included Nice defender Melvin Bard and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Jean-Matteo Bahoya. Evans described the summer as a "good window and a good deadline," noting that the club achieved its main objectives early, allowing them to strengthen other areas of the squad. The club also sold Netherlands international Pascal Struijk to Brighton in a £20 million deal on 30 June. This move was necessary to comply with financial regulations, which are now transitioning from profit and sustainability rules (PSR) to a squad-cost ratio (SCR) system. Evans expressed gratitude that only one player needed to be sold to meet the requirements. He credited the FA Cup run and limited activity in January for keeping the need to sell to just one player. The early decision to sell Struijk allowed the club to prepare for the transition and maintain squad balance.
