They are under pressure from PSR and must sell players by June 30th to make ends meet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leeds_could_sell_Joel_Pillow\"><\/span>Leeds could sell Joel Pillow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Leeds could target the striker this month, but it remains to be seen what his eventual fate will be. Leeds have signed the 26-year-old Dutch striker for a fee of around \u00a310m in 2023. It seems unlikely that Leeds will be able to recoup such a sum for him. Perhaps they will have to accept the loss of the player and let him go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It will be interesting to see if they can secure a reasonable fee for the player. They need to recoup a reasonable amount from his retirement. Otherwise, the PSR situation will not improve.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Piroue_needs_a_new_start\"><\/span>Pirou\u00e9 needs a new start<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-414x290.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-630x442.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-768x539.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-770x540.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-900x631.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-1200x842.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-1536x1077.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daniel-farke-leeds-united-2048x1436.jpg.webp 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leeds United&#8217;s Joel Pillow takes a shot during the Sky Bet Championship game against Watford.

It remains to be seen where he will end up. He has shown his quality in the Championship in the past and a return to the second tier of English football could be ideal for him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Leeds United could also look to sign Ilan Meslier. The goalkeeper has struggled to get regular minutes in the Premier League and needs to move on. Sitting on the bench at Leeds will not do him any favors. English clubs should also consider getting rid of useless players to make ends meet.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds want to sign a new midfielder.
