Illan Meslier to be sold by Leeds after behind-the-scenes talks – fans reacts
Leeds United fans are calling for the club to cash in on Illan Meslier after a reported contract dispute emerged at Elland Road.
Reports claimed talks over a new contract for the goalkeeper have reached a deadlock as he is insisting on a released clause being set in any new deal.
However, after losing key players Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and Archie Gray due to release clauses in the summer window, the club are reluctant to entertain the option.
Meslier, 24, has been a mainstay in Daniel Farke’s team since the boss’ arrival and remains the first-choice shot-stopper at Elland Road.
However, fans have been heavily critical of his displays in a Leeds shirt since the 2022-23 season when they found themselves relegated from the Premier League.
The goalkeeper’s performances have improved since that season, but fans remain concerned about his consistency and ability to perform at the top level.
Leeds United told to cash in on Illan Meslier after contract twist
With contract talks reportedly at a standstill, many fans are now insisting the club should let Meslier leave rather than entertaining his demands.
The goalkeeper has two years left on his current deal, and Leeds could consider selling him next summer to avoid the possibility of losing him for free.
After the news was shared via social media, fans have been calling for the club to entertain offers for Meslier and are claiming this could be the ideal opportunity to see him out of the door.
