Whites manager Daniel Farke may have to face the reality of facing the new season without a number of players who were key to his side last season.
After failing to regain promotion to the Premier League, Leeds could lose in-demand stars such as Crysencio Summerville, Willy Gnonto, Archie Gray and Georginio Rutter.
Farke was also able to turn to Joe Rodon last season, with the on-loan Tottenham Hotspur star forming a core central defensive partnership with Ethan Ampadu.
Leeds want Rodon back but Spurs are only looking to sell him.
Tottenham value Rodon at £10m and are looking to swap him with Southampton for midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, with cash also involved.
Spurs’ stance is bad news for Leeds, who look unlikely to be able to spend that much money on Rodon and compete with a Premier League side for his signature.
Rodoni made 46 appearances for Leeds throughout their Championship run, but only missed games against Watford, due to suspension, and Southampton.
