Daniel Farke comments on potential deal that could cost Leeds United £20m
Since joining the team on loan from Spurs during the summer window, the defender has grown to be an important member of the Yorkshire team.
The team is fighting for promotion to the Premier League, and the Welshman has made 24 appearances in the Championship.
This has sparked rumors that he might sign a long-term contract with the team, possibly in January after the season ends.
The center defender is reportedly valued by the London team at almost £20 million, given Leeds’ possible interest in a long-term contract.
Before this weekend’s matchup with Preston, Farke talked about Rodon’s predicament.
The German stated that while work is being done “behind the scenes” and they are pleased with the player’s contribution to the club, they are not yet concerned about the defender’s future.
Farke discussed Rodon’s situation prior to this weekend’s game against Preston.
Even if the defender is putting in work “behind the scenes” and the German team is happy with his commitment to the team, they are not yet worried about the defender’s future.
Leeds must put the Rodon problem on hold until the summer in order to focus on creating a team that can compete for promotion.
Given their deficiencies in other areas, confirming a deal with Spurs for the defender now would be a luxury acquisition that the team cannot afford.
Given Rodon’s strong play this season for Leeds, it might be prudent to look into turning the loan into a permanent agreement in the summer.
