Sources: Three Leeds United stars set to quit if they get relegated
Three Leeds United first-team stars are planning to quit the club in the summer if they get relegated, sources have told Football Insider.
Robin Koch, Illan Meslier and Jack Harrison are all expected to head for the exit at Elland Road if the Whites don’t avoid the drop.
Leeds currently sit 17th in the Premier League, avoiding the relegation zone only through goal difference.
The Yorkshire club have won five of their 25 league fixtures this season, and secured just one victory in their last 11.
Meslier and Harrison were both part of the Leeds side that earned promotion to the Premier League in 2020 under Marcelo Bielsa, ending the club’s 16-year wait to return to the top flight of English football.
Koch joined the club for £11.5million ahead of their Premier League return and the German international has become a key part of the Leeds defence ever since.
He has played 63 times for Leeds across all competitions and been a regular starter under Bielsa, Jesse Marsch and Javi Gracia.
Meslier has cemented his place as the Leeds No.1 since joining the club permanently in 2020 and taking over from Kiko Cassila.
The French shot-stopper has played every minute for Leeds in the Premier League this season and ranks eighth in terms of saves made with 74.
Harrison has been at Elland Road since 2018, spending three years on loan from Man City before joining permanently in 2021.
Football Insider sources revealed that Harrison rejected a move to Premier League rivals Leicester City this January.
