"Leeds have made a good start to their Premier League return, which has come on the back of a very good transfer window. However, they were not able to complete all of their required business. One of those deals that did not go through would have seen Illan Meslier leave the club, as he is not counted upon by Daniel Farke. The 25-year-old was dropped last season after a number of costly errors, and the plan is for him to be moved on in January."
"He's now third choice goalkeeper between behind Lucas Perri and now Karl Darlow, who's slotted into the starting XI in recent games due to Perri's injury. So look, that tells you everything you need to know with Leeds and Illan Meslier. But again, Meslier is in a good position because he's out of contract next summer and he can leave for free or he can agree a pre-contract in January."
"I'm sure Leeds would love to try and sell them in January and get some money for them. But I don't think the player will be rushing into anything just then as well. Leeds would certainly prefer to get decent money for selling Meslier, but that may not be possible. Regardless, it appears that he will depart in 2026, one way or another."
Leeds have started their Premier League return positively following a strong transfer window but did not complete every intended transfer. Illan Meslier is not in Daniel Farke's plans and was dropped last season after several costly errors. The club plans to move him on in January, though a sale may be difficult. Meslier is now third-choice goalkeeper behind Lucas Perri and Karl Darlow, with Darlow starting due to Perri's injury. Meslier is out of contract next summer and is prepared to run down his deal, enabling a free departure or a pre-contract in January. A fee sale may not be achievable; departure in 2026 appears likely.
