According to Football Insider, if Leeds United do not win promotion this season, they may be compelled to authorize another loan for Jack Harrison.
Harrison, 27, is currently on a temporary deal with Everton that will go until the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the winger’s parent club is in a promotion battle with Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton, and suffered a setback by losing 1-0 at home to Blackburn last time out.
If Leeds fail to return to the Premier League this season, their on-loan players are expected to have a significant impact on their financial situation.
Harrison joined Max Wober, Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, and Marc Roca in departing Elland Road on loan following the club’s relegation from the top division.
Leeds may be obliged to accept a fresh Harrison loan agreement despite promotion.
According to sources, Leeds will be anxious to sell those players if they are not promoted; nevertheless, more loan exits are more likely.
Club executives consider promotion as critical after the Whites announced a £33 million loss in their most recent financial statements, which also revealed that £190 million in transfer fees is owing to other teams.
There is allegedly no option to buy Harrison’s loan at Everton, which means the cash-strapped club will have to reopen talks with Leeds if they want to keep him at Goodison Park.
According to sources, Harrison is not interested in rejoining Leeds and would like to sign permanently with Everton if they stay up.
This season, he has started 27 matches in 31 appearances across all competitions for Liverpool, scoring four goals and assisting three others.
Harrison is under contract with Elland Road until June 2028.
