Leeds United are preparing to move Jack Harrison out on loan again as the summer transfer window opens, hoping to reduce wage costs and avoid an accounting hit.

Why is Harrison’s future uncertain?

The 29‑year‑old winger returned from a six‑month loan at Fiorentina in early July, having made 13 appearances for Leeds in the 2025‑26 season before his winter departure. His contract still runs for two more years, but manager Daniel Farke has not included him in plans, and the club has struggled to find a permanent buyer.

What does a loan mean for Leeds financially?

Former Manchester City adviser Stefan Borson told Football Insider that Leeds would “love” to sell Harrison, but if a fee cannot be secured, a loan is the next best option. A loan fee and partial wage coverage can soften the club’s books, preventing the need to impair the asset on the balance sheet – a move that would otherwise create an immediate financial hit.

Which clubs are showing interest?

New England Revolution in the MLS have been linked with a short‑term deal, offering a chance for Harrison to return to the United States. Fiorentina, where he spent the previous season, is also reportedly open to a repeat arrangement, though Leeds would prefer a move that removes his wages entirely.

How does this fit into Leeds United’s broader situation?

Leeds United sit 14th in the Premier League with 47 points after 38 games, recent form LWDWD. They have scored 49 goals and conceded 56, sitting 38 points behind leaders Arsenal. The squad’s financial flexibility is limited, making Harrison’s loan a practical solution to free up resources for potential reinforcements.

What could happen next?

If a loan to New England or another club materialises, Leeds would still carry a portion of his salary but would avoid a full‑time wage bill. Should a buyer emerge, the club would finally clear the player from its books. Until then, Harrison remains on the roster, training at Elland Road but unlikely to feature in the upcoming pre‑season fixtures.
