- Future Elland Road plans
- Cody Drameh - what next?
Joe Wainman: Can you put to bed this release clause chatter when it comes to Raphinha. Is there one or not?
We’re told there is no buy-out clause. What we don’t know is if there’s a relegation clause that would allow a club to pick him up on the cheap. Of course he’ll go if Leeds go down, but with that situation looking unlikely they should be able to set the price this summer. It should be a significant sum, enough to reinvest properly in the squad.

@_jessflynnx: How many players do you think we’ll realistically sign this summer? And do you know what positions are being looked at to improve?
I think they’ll look to do a lot more recruitment this summer than last. It’s necessary. They need to build a squad that has more quality in it, so the default replacements are not untested youngsters. I could see them doing four first team signings and then some 23s recruitment after that. As for positions, they still need more at left-back, in central midfield, up front and maybe an attacking midfielder to replace Raphinha if he goes. An experienced number two goalkeeper would still be a reassuring signing to back up Illan Meslier, although Kristoffer Klaesson did very well in his cameo at Wolves.
