Leeds United have published their retained list ahead of the 2024/25 season with Sam Byram, Liam Cooper, Jamie Shackleton and Cody Drameh at the top of the agenda
Eleven players will wave goodbye to Leeds United at the end of the month as their contracts expire, while Sam Byram has triggered a one-year extension and Liam Cooper remains in talks about his next steps. Jamie Shackleton is another player whose future remains up in the air, while Cody Drameh has been offered new terms after spending the final year of his contract out on loan.
Cooper and Shackleton will see their contracts expire in 23 days. Leeds want to retain them, but it will be the players who decide whether they are likely to get the game time they desire under Daniel Farke next term.Byram triggered a 12-month extension on the one-year deal he signed last summer by hitting a pre-agreed number of appearances in 23/24. The 30-year-old made 33 league outings last term and could be the second-oldest player in the squad come July 1 if Cooper moves on.
A season-long loan move to Birmingham City last summer, without a contract extension at Leeds, was seen as the beginning of the end for Drameh in West Yorkshire. By offering him fresh terms, Leeds have ensured, if Drameh signs elsewhere, they will be due compensation because he is under 24-years-old.
