Premier League clubs have published their retained lists, confirming a raft of departures and creating a pool of free agents Leeds United could explore.
According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Leeds said on Wednesday they would wave goodbye to two-time Championship title-winner Illan Meslier, while talks continue with three other first-team players. All 20 clubs met the 12pm Wednesday deadline to submit their lists.
The Premier League then released a full list of first-team and youth players moving on, with notable names among those leaving Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. The round-up covers 24 first-team departures across the other 19 clubs. Leeds could now hold talks with any of the released players if they wanted to repeat last summer’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin transfer trick.
Brighton defenders Adam Webster, 31, and Joel Veltman, 34, plus winger Solly March, 31, are among those confirmed to be leaving.
Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, 37, Crystal Palace full-back Nathaniel Clyne, 35, and Everton captain Seamus Coleman, 37, also feature on the list.
