Leeds talking to Firpo & Byram as Guilavogui leaves

Junior Firpo scored four goals this season in his 32 Championship appearances

Leeds United are in discussions with defenders Junior Firpo and Sam Byram over new contracts and have also announced the departure of midfielder Josuha Guilavogui following the club's promotion to the Premier League.

Left-back Firpo made 32 Championship appearances and scored four goals - one in a draw at Sunderland with another in a win at their promotion rivals Sheffield United - as Leeds pipped Burnley to the title on goal difference after both clubs finished on 100 points.

The Dominican international, 28, had spells with Real Betis and Barcelona before moving to Elland Road in 2021 and has made nearly 120 appearances across the past four seasons.

Talks have also begun with 31-year-old Byram, who played in 36 league games this season at left-back or centre back, although 20 of those came from the bench.

Former France midfielder Guilavogui leaves Elland Road at the end of his short-term contract.

The 34-year-old midfielder joined the club as a free agent in October and departs having made 16 league appearances for the club, all of them off the bench, adding up to 57 minutes in total, and never finished on the losing side.
