Leeds United could potentially replace Pascal Struijk at Elland Road this transfer window.
The 25-year-old played a key role for the Whites last season as they won the Championship title, but missed the end of it due to an injury.
Struijk has been spotted at Thorp Arch during pre-season training, as the West Yorkshire outfit prepare for the upcoming campaign, but the centre-back may not be there for too long.

The news outlet reports (19 July) that the Super Lig outfit are open to the former Aston Villa centre-back’s sale this summer.
It’s been claimed that the 32-year-old Brazilian defender has emerged as a target at Elland Road, and his arrival could potentially mean the end of Struijk in LS11.

It wouldn’t be surprising to see 49ers Enterprise cash in on the 25-year-old at the Whites after making several additions to their backline.
The West Yorkshire outfit have signed Jaka Bijol from Udinese and Sebastiaan Bornauw from Wolfsburg to hand Farke plenty of options in central defence.
Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu are also at the German manager’s disposal, and it looks like the Peacocks may be preparing for Struijk’s exit by signing Carlos.

Bijol and Rodon started for the Whites on Saturday against Manchester United at the Friends Arena, with the fixture ending in a 0-0 draw.
While Struijk also featured for Leeds against the Red Devils on 19 July, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him having to fight for his place in the starting lineup next season.
The West Yorkshire outfit evidently need to bolster the midfield and attack further this summer, and the Dutch defender’s sale may provide significant funds for more transfers.
The 49ers have been practical with their business since taking over the Peacocks, and it would make sense from their perspective to sell the 25-year-old centre-back for a lucrative offer and potentially replace him with Carlos.
