Leeds United Open to Jack Harrison Exit Following Farke’s Stance

Leeds United are prepared to cash in on winger Jack Harrison this summer as manager Daniel Farke makes clear the 28-year-old is no longer part of his plans at Elland Road, according to former Whites goalkeeper Paul Robinson.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Robinson revealed that both club and player are aligned in seeking a resolution, with Leeds aiming to recoup most of the £10 million they paid Manchester City for Harrison in 2021.

Harrison, who is under contract until 2028, spent the last two seasons on loan at Everton, but a permanent move to Goodison Park is now off the table. Leeds, back in the Premier League, are looking to reshape their squad and Harrison is not expected to be part of that rebuild.

“I’m not sure he’s got a future at Leeds with the manager there,” Robinson said. “I think the way that the manager has been quite open to letting him go, whether it was financially or whatever the reason was in the Championship…

“Look at some of the other characters that he’s moved out of the dressing room, Daniel Farke, and the players that he likes to work with.

“Jack Harrison, at 28, is still contracted at Leeds until 2028 which is surprising. Whoever’s going to come in for him, it would likely be a loan, potentially a fee involved.

“Leeds paid £10million to sign him from Manchester City in 2021. I don’t think they’ll get that, but somebody may take a chance for around that mark.

“I don’t think he’s got a future at Leeds. That bridge has been burnt by the manager and the player. If you asked the manager honestly, and you asked the player honestly, both of them would quite happily part ways if the situation arose – whether it be a loan or a permanent deal.”

While a £10 million valuation has been set, Leeds are reportedly willing to consider loan offers if a suitable permanent bid does not emerge. The club are keen to free up space and wages as they push ahead with their summer recruitment.

Harrison’s time at Everton offered flashes of quality but ultimately didn’t convince either the Merseyside club or Farke that he can play a regular role in the Premier League. Former West Ham scout Mick Brown previously revealed that David Moyes also did not view the winger as part of his long-term plans at Everton.

Despite the uncertainty, both Harrison and Leeds remain committed to finding a solution that suits all parties ahead of the new campaign. With several top-flight clubs still active in the market, interest may yet develop before the window closes.

Leeds, meanwhile, continue to be active in the transfer market themselves, with a move for Everton striker Beto reportedly on their radar following the Merseyside club’s deal for Villarreal forward Thierno Barry.

As the summer window progresses, Harrison’s situation is one to watch, with the player’s future now firmly away from Elland Road.
