“Sad News At Elland Road”- Leeds United Star Breaks Silence on SHOCK Exit decision Despite Premier League Return. English manager Plots move Abroad
Mateo Joseph Likely to Leave Leeds United This Summer
Mateo Joseph may have already played his final match in a Leeds United shirt. The young forward found limited opportunities under Daniel Farke in the Championship, and with the club now preparing for life back in the Premier League, questions have intensified over his future at Elland Road.
Despite showing flashes of potential, the 21-year-old Spaniard has struggled to convert performances into goals—an issue that has hindered his breakthrough into the first team.
With Leeds actively seeking to strengthen their attacking options this summer, Joseph appears to be slipping further down the pecking order. Reports suggest he is unwilling to stay and fight for his place in the squad.
Strasbourg Join Race as Exit Draws Near
Leeds reportedly turned down a winter offer from Real Betis for Joseph, but the La Liga side remains interested in securing his signature this summer. A fee in the region of £20 million could be enough to convince Leeds to sanction a sale, according to TBR.
French side Strasbourg—now managed by Liam Rosenior—have also entered the race, while other European clubs are said to be monitoring the situation.
With experienced forwards like Callum Wilson being linked with a move to Leeds, Joseph’s path to regular first-team football looks increasingly blocked, making his departure this summer highly probable.
Joseph Sale Could Boost Leeds’ Transfer Activity
Leeds must make strategic moves in the transfer market to both strengthen the squad and comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Offloading fringe players like Joseph could generate valuable funds for reinvestment.
Should Leeds secure a reasonable transfer fee, the deal would benefit both the player and the club. At the same time, Joseph’s exit would reinforce the urgent need for a new striker—already a key priority heading into the Premier League campaign.
If a move does go through, Leeds are expected to include a sell-on clause in any agreement, given Joseph’s untapped potential and the possibility he may develop into a top-level talent elsewhere.
