Featured three times in 2017: Why Leeds must sign Newcastle outcast after £4.5m signing
Contract situation
Owner Radrizzani has sanctioned nine deals this summer, including two permanent deals for Pontus Jansson and Hadi Sacko.
Spending plenty of money on those recruits, as well as repurchasing Elland Road for £20million, Italian owner Radrizzani is likely to want Christiansen to look for a number of cut-price deals in the future.
Signing Haidara, who has just 12 months left on his contract, is likely to be available for a fee much smaller than the £2million Newcastle paid for him four years ago.
In other Leeds news, Christiansen has highlighted the biggest negative from the Whites’ last match.
