Leeds United managing director Robbie Evans confirmed the club is in negotiations to extend the contract of manager Daniel Farke. Farke is currently entering the final year of his deal following a season that saw the club reach an FA Cup semi-final and finish 14th in the Premier League. Both parties are reportedly on the same page regarding a long-term future, with discussions ongoing for three months. Evans dismissed concerns over the timing, citing reduced pressure compared to previous transfer windows. Leeds managed to comply with financial regulations by selling defender Pascal Struijk to Brighton earlier this summer. The club remains focused on building upon its recent transfer activity, which included signing goalkeeper James Trafford and several defensive reinforcements. Official contract terms have not yet been finalized as the club and Farke continue their discussions.
