Turkish teams are hoping to sign players before the winter transfer window closes, but players are reluctant to move to Turkey (h\/t Leeds Live). The Turkish transfer window closes today, but it remains to be seen whether the Leeds United goalkeeper&#8217;s final move can be finalized.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meslier has shown his quality at Leeds in the past, but he has not been able to secure a starting place this season. He is nearing the end of his contract with the Premier League club. He will become a free agent in the summer and will wait for his contract to expire before leaving the club for free.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meslier_has_no_future_at_Leeds\"><\/span>Meslier has no future at Leeds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ilan Meslier of Leeds United FC (Photo credit: George Wood\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Leeds United have Lucas Perry and Karl Darlow in the top flight. The French goalkeeper is unlikely to get many chances until the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether he can secure a suitable transfer at the end of the season and get his career back on track. He is at the peak of his career and needs to play regularly. Joining the right team could bring out the best in him again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Leeds are fighting to remain in the Premier League, and all eyes will be on whether they can maintain their position in the top flight beyond this season.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds want to sign a new midfielder.
