The window opened on Friday, June 14 and clubs still have until 11pm on Friday, August 30 to conclude summer transfer business. But Leeds have already waved goodbye to nearly two team’s worth of players ahead of the bid for promotion from the Championship at the second attempt.
Spanish international defender Diego Llorente was the club’s most recent departure, the centre-back sealing a permanent switch to Real Betis on Tuesday for a deal worth in excess of €3million. His exit followed news of United’s second signing of the summer via the arrival of experienced goalkeeper Alex Cairns from Salford City.
With seven more weeks of the summer window still remaining, here we run through United’s full list of business so far and money accrued from player sales.
