AliousLeeds United midfielder Glen Kamara is reportedly close to joining French club Stade Rennais, prompting manager Daniel Farke to consider replacements.
As Farke prepares for the upcoming season, Leeds has made three signings, with several players departing, including Archie Gray, necessitating midfield changes.
Earlier reports from France indicated Stade Rennais’ interest in Kamara, with Leeds initially reluctant to sell.
However, recent reports suggest Kamara has agreed terms with Rennais, with a transfer fee of around £8.4 million reportedly agreed.
Leeds recently signed Joe Rothwell on loan from Bournemouth, but sources indicate this isn’t a direct replacement for Kamara.
Rothwell’s arrival was planned regardless of Kamara’s situation.
If Kamara leaves, Leeds is expected to seek a similar profile midfielder as a replacement.
The club had planned to retain Kamara, but the offer seems attractive to the player, and Leeds could profit from the sale.
While Kamara is important to Leeds’ midfield, the potential transfer fee could allow for reinvestment in a similar player, potentially improving the team’s position.
Although a midfield overhaul isn’t ideal for Farke, if circumstances require selling Kamara and finding a way to improve from there, the club may proceed with this strategy.
