As Daniel Farke prepares a squad capable of competing with the big guns, several players are expected to depart Elland Road.
Indeed, one player has just bid farewell to the Yorkshire club after a long spell with the newly promoted side.

Although Leeds finished the season as second-tier champions, they will be aware that there is substantial work ahead.
Farke’s men clinched the Championship title on the final day of the season, pipping Burnley by goal difference.
However, one look at the Premier League table tells you all you need to know about how tough it can be for promoted teams.
Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town have all faced instant relegation after underwhelming seasons.
Therefore, key decisions must be made by the Yorkshire club as they aim to bolster their squad in the summer.
One player who will be leaving Elland Road is Harry Christy, who is heading for an emotional departure from Leeds after 14 years in Yorkshire.
As Christy leaves after over a decade with his boyhood team, Mateo Joseph shared a parting message (19 May) on his Instagram post.
He said: “What a guy, wish you all the best my man,” followed by heart and handshake emojis.
Leeds make correct call on Christy
The goalkeeping position has come under intense scrutiny at Elland Road, but that has not been down to Christy.
Illan Meslier was Farke’s number one for most of the campaign, but a series of errors led to him losing his place.
At the end of the season, the German opted for Karl Darlow between the sticks for the final seven games.
While Darlow was solid during those games, the Yorkshire outfit must acquire a quality goalkeeper if they are to avoid relegation.
Given their goalkeeper predicament, it is fair that Christy should be allowed to find a new challenge.
