Illan Meslier\u2019s exit from Leeds United is inevitable this summer, with the 25-year-old in the final year of his contract.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Meslier\u2019s removal from the Leeds United<\/a> lineup by Daniel Farke<\/a>, the Frenchman is searching for another opportunity to play regular football again.<\/p>\n

He could have reacted badly but Patrick\u00a0Bamford revealed Meslier\u2019s response to being dropped<\/a>\u00a0was a positive enough one. <\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not at all probable that he returns to the team now they are a Premier League<\/a> outfit.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Phil Hay also believing Meslier\u2019s time at Leeds is over<\/a>\u00a0after six seasons with the club, Leeds will look to bank whatever they can. Fortunately, Meslier was signed for \u00a35 million<\/a>\u00a0back in 2020 and has signed a new contract previously.<\/p>\n

That means his PSR book value is close to zero, and Leeds could therefore cash in easily. It\u2019s why it is not all that surprising that\u00a0Leeds are reportedly offering Meslier to other clubs<\/a>\u00a0and an exit edges closer.<\/p>\n

There is a situation where Leeds retain Meslier<\/a> but news of interest has ramped up of late. French outlet Jeunesfooteux<\/a> has the latest on emerging parties in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n

The report states Meslier interests RC Strasbourg, while RC Lens could also be on the lookout for a player like Meslier. Two Ligue 1 sides have expressed interest, with Strasbourg at the forefront.<\/p>\n

Strasbourg qualified for the UEFA Conference League under the guidance of former Hull City boss Liam Rosenior. The club are owned by the same company as Chelsea and loanee Djordje Petrovic is due to return to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

The other club has not been identified yet, but\u00a0RC Lens, currently looking for a goalkeeper due to the uncertainty surrounding Mathew Ryan, are on the list of potential suitors named in the report.<\/p>\n

The report also adds that there is talk of English clubs also being in the running to secure Meslier.<\/p>\n

It adds that an exit could be \u201cwell below the \u20ac16 million valuation on Transfermarkt\u201d. That is not surprising given his contract situation and after falling out of favour.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, Meslier was described as \u201cmagnificent\u201d by Andy Hinchcliffe<\/a>. However, he is in the final year of his deal.<\/p>\n

As mentioned previously, Leeds don\u2019t need to sell Meslier for much to consider it a profit on the PSR books. It is unlikely to take an eight-figure sum in 2025, and could be considerably less than that.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Illan Meslier\u2019s exit from Leeds United is inevitable this summer, with the 25-year-old in the final year of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,337,1860,100,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-165093","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-illan-meslier","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-transfer-news","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114642396503118040","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
