'They're going to...' - Insider now drops Orta and Marsch's plans after Leeds transfer meeting

Transfer insider Dean Jones has made a Leeds United claim following Victor Orta and Jesse Marsch’s talks last week.

Adam Pope shared details of Orta and Marsch’s recent talks ahead of the Whites’ trip to Watford, with the visitors coming away from Vicarage Road with three points to take them nine clear of safety.

Pope revealed that the pair created profiles of players they want to sign but didn’t make decisions in regards to specific incomings and outgoings.

Talking to The Transfer Tavern, Jones had this to say when asked about Orta and Marsch’s recent transfer talks, admitting that they will ‘reassess’ at the end of the season, with the club’s plans having a lot to do with possible departures:

“I think all the names that we’ve heard already are still in mind. They’re going to reassess at the end of the season and a lot of it will do with who they end up losing to be honest.”

Raphinha appears to be the most likely to depart Elland Road over the coming months, with the Brazilian’s agent reportedly in advanced talks with Barcelona.

Kalvin Phillips, Robin Koch and Jack Harrison have also been linked with exits in recent weeks, so it could be a busy summer ahead of Marsch’s first full season in charge.

The American inherited a small squad from Marcelo Bielsa, so you’d like to think that there will be a few arrivals even if nobody leaves, but firstly the Whites need to fully guarantee their Premier League status for 2022/23.
