Leeds United manager Daniel Farke could be set for a new contract at Elland Road, with an announcement reportedly closer than ever.
The Leeds United boss has faced repeated questions about his future during recent press conferences but has largely avoided giving a definitive answer. However, he suggested before the Brighton game that he would discuss the situation soon.
According to TEAMtalk, talks over a fresh agreement have progressed significantly, with a broad agreement now understood to be in place.
Daniel Farke set for new Leeds United deal
Daniel Farke is currently in the fourth and final year of his existing contract at Leeds, but the club have made it clear that they want to extend his stay.
The German has built a strong record since taking charge. He guided Leeds United through two promotion campaigns, initially finishing third in the Championship before leading the club to a 100-point title-winning campaign the following season.
His first Premier League campaign ended with Leeds finishing 14th.
The Whites then backed Farke heavily in the summer transfer window, and the team have made a positive start to the new campaign despite a midweek Carabao Cup defeat at Chelsea.
Now, the latest reports suggest Farke’s future is no longer as uncertain as it once appeared. TEAMtalk claims that there is already broad agreement over a new contract, leaving the timing of the official announcement as the remaining issue.
After guiding Leeds through promotion challenges and their return to the Premier League, Farke appears increasingly close to securing a longer-term commitment from the club.
