It was confirmed over the weekend that Jack Harrison would return to Leeds United after two years on loan at Everton, with David Moyes’ side confirming they would not be signing him permanently.
One of eight Leeds players to use Victor Orta’s loan relegation clause, Harrison left Leeds in the summer of 2023 to much criticism. He joined Everton on loan, jumping ship in the eyes of most Leeds supporters.
It came only a few months after signing a new contract at Elland Road, having almost joined Leicester City in January that season. Leeds’ failure to go up in 2024 meant his loan clause was active for another year.
It saw Harrison rejoin Everton on loan for the 2024-25 season. But now, Leeds have been promoted and it means Harrison’s loan clause is no longer active. Leeds fans want rid of Harrison following his return.

Remarkably, Harrison has three years left on his Leeds contract. While fans are desperate to see him sold and never play for Leeds again, this is a player that has spent the last five seasons in the Premier League.
Daniel Farke may appreciate his experience and as talks with Tottenham for Manor Solomon struggle, it could save Leeds some cash by bringing Harrison back into the fold. The Liverpool Echo has an update.
They say that actually, Harrison could still join Everton. David Moyes is said to be a fan of Harrison and the new report suggests Everton could make a move for Harrison down the line, later on in the summer.

The report also indicates what The 49ers think of Harrison and a potential return to Leeds. Max Wober and Brenden Aaronson both returned to the fold under Farke after using Orta’s loan during 2023-24.

But Harrison did it twice, and five of the eight that did use it have since left permanently. The 49ers are in no charitable mood when it comes to Harrison – and are ready to listen to offers for him, as per The Echo.
Leeds paid £11m for Harrison from Man City, having spent the first three years of his Leeds spell on loan at the club. The chances of Leeds getting anywhere near that figure are slim, but a fee will be required.
