Luke Ayling’s contract at Leeds United is about to expire, and according to TeamTalk, the club has decided to offer the right-back a one-year extension, which will be made available to him in January.
Ayling, 32, has been with Leeds since the summer of 2016 when he transferred there from Bristol City. He has played in an incredible 263 games throughout that period. Despite having 289, Liam Cooper has been a Leeds player since 2014. It demonstrates how resilient and devoted Ayling has been throughout time. He signed a new one-year agreement at Elland Road last season, and recent reports indicate that he might be poised to do the same for us.
According to the source, Daniel Farke has decided to keep Ayling over the summer. According to rumors, Farke wants to keep Ayling until 2025, which is another year. His direction is seen as vital.
The report also claims that Ayling and his family are “extremely settled” in Leeds, indicating that he intends to remain there. Ayling will have to decide, but he should be aware that he might not be the first option.
It demonstrates how highly Farke values Ayling both on and off the field. The German believes that Ayling still has some football talent to offer, but it will be his leadership that will be crucial.
Maybe even Ayling’s availability at all times. When Rasmus Kristensen was brought in to replace him last season, his ability to keep turning in strong performances allowed him to remain in the game.
No matter what division, as the report suggests, continuing Ayling at Elland Road for another season is undoubtedly a wise choice. Ayling must decide whether or not he wants to sit on the bench. He might also wish to move.
