Leeds United have left the door open for Liam Cooper to remain at Elland Road next season.
When the Whites published their retained list on Friday, they revealed their captain has not been offered a new contract but is 'in talks'. They are likely to be on hold, with Cooper expected to be in the 26-man European Championship squad Scotland submit to UEFA on Friday night. Sam Byram's experience will be retained after a season where manager Daniel Farke frequently cited a lack of it as why Leeds fell just short of promotion, beaten by Southampton in the play-off final.
Stuart Dallas has retired and Luke Ayling made a successful loan at Middlesbrough permanent. Only Ayling, Poveda and Bate, an 89th-minute League Cup substitute against Shrewsbury Town, played first-team football for Leeds last season. Drameh has only made one league appearance for Leeds since annoying then-coach Marcelo Bielsa by asking to join Cardiff on loan in January 2022. Harry Christy, Joseph Snowdon and Luca Thomas have been offered new deals.
