Leeds United signed Aaronson for \u00a325million back in 2022 and he\u2019s certainly had mixed spells since, with his 2024\/25 performances certainly leaving a lot to be desired at times.<\/p>\n<p>Despite scoring nine and assisting twice, and featuring in all 46 Championship games, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leedsunited.news\/news\/what-leeds-united-fans-did-towards-brenden-aaronson-vs-qpr-speaks-volumes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leeds United fans were critical of Aaronson<\/a> who they say just didn\u2019t contribute as much as a no.10 should do in such a potent side. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leedsunited.news\/tag\/james-mcatee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James McAtee<\/a> is now being linked with a summer move to West Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leedsunited.news\/transfers\/leeds-united-get-green-light-to-sign-25m-star-as-premier-league-manager-makes-big-decision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leeds United could spend \u00a325million on McAtee<\/a> and he\u2019d surely slot straight in as the new no.10, condemning Aaronson to the bench. If Leeds then stay in the Premier League then the 24-year-old Aaronson may never be more than a backup player.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"702\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-2191783958-1024x702.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Catherine Ivill - AMA\/Getty Images\" class=\"wp-image-64938\" \/>Photo by Catherine Ivill \u2013 AMA\/Getty Images <\/p>\n<p>MORE LEEDS UNITED STORIES<\/p>\n<p>  The latest on James McAtee to Leeds United<\/p>\n<p>McAtee was linked with a move to Elland Road in January and has once again been linked. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leedsunited.news\/transfers\/leeds-united-one-of-12-clubs-to-make-approach-for-25m-rated-star-likened-to-david-silva\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Man City are ready to sell McAtee this summer<\/a> with his contract set to expire in 2026.
