Rodin has now stated he is enjoying every second of his time at Leeds. His strong performances at Elland Road this season have raised questions about whether he would stay over his loan period. This comes after Daniel Farke disclosed that the team was quietly working on the transaction, emphasizing that it is not a pressing matter and that discussions would probably pick up speed as the Welshman’s loan period draws to a close. In an interview with the Yorkshire Evening Post on January 23, Rodon said, “I feel good about myself and I can only be thankful for the opportunities the coach has given me.” Not just me, but I think this squad is incredibly well-balanced, and I’m loving every second of it. Personally, I’m absolutely in love with every second. May it last for a very long time.
With his poise in possession and ability to build from the back, the defender has established himself as a vital component of Leeds’ style of play in his 25 Championship outings thus far this season. He is also not hesitant to take on defensive responsibilities when needed. But the agreement could end up being expensive, as Phil Hay of The Athletic reported on January 22 that the Premier League team Leeds reportedly inquired about a permanent transfer in the summer and received a valuation of £15 million; but, with the current increase in that amount, this purchase may prove to be expensive. No matter how much money is spent on Rodon’s transfer—Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is known for being a tough negotiator—if Leeds can sign him to a permanent contract when his loan period expires this season, it would be a fantastic deal for the team.
