Illan Meslier is likely to depart Leeds United before the September 1 transfer deadline after losing his starting position last season. He was replaced by Karl Darlow due to a series of errors, and Leeds has signed Lucas Perri as a new first-choice goalkeeper. Meslier's history as a 'wonderkid' has shifted as recent performances drew criticism from fans. At 25, he has extensive experience in English football but is looking for a move back to continental competitions, with interest from other clubs being sought by his representatives.
Illan Meslier is expected to leave Elland Road ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline after several years with the club.
Sources have told FourFourTwo the player considers his time at Leeds to have come to an end with the expectation he will be sold for a fee in the region of 5-6 million this summer.
Meslier was ousted as first-choice goalkeeper towards the end of last season after a string of errors led Leeds boss Daniel Farke to replace him.
Still a young player in goalkeeping terms, Meslier boasts vast experience in English football but prefers a return to the continent.
