The contracts of Leeds United players Stuart Dallas, Liam Cooper, and Luke Ayling are scheduled to expire at the end of the current campaign, but Daniel Farke will have the final say, according The Athletic.
The trio, who have together made over 800 appearances for the club, will have to wait; it will be decided whether they will continue in the next eight months, according to Phil Hay.
Farke has talked about the value of experience in the locker room, despite the fact that they are no longer integral components of this Leeds team’s spine. However, other factors will still be taken into account.
It demonstrates the trust the club has in Farke that he has the last say in issues like this one about contracts. It’s his squad in the end, and whether he decides to keep the Elland Road mainstays will depend on his needs and demands.
Although Cooper and Ayling in particular have put in some strong performances so far this season and their leadership has undoubtedly had an impact behind the scenes, that won’t always be enough.
The club will have a challenging season in the Premier League if they are promoted this season at the first attempt. The contract calls might go either way in this situation. Will their experience be necessary, or does their age work against them?
The leader must make a significant decision, but he will be aware of the requirements of his team and will be aware of the group’s prospects in the future. They will have to prove to Farke that they deserve their berth at Elland Road by their own performances over the ensuing months.
