Contract talks between Leeds United and Jack Harrison could come as early as the end of the summer transfer window.
Leeds are currently in the process of fielding Newcastle United’s interest in the 25-year-old ahead of the Premier League’s start in two weeks.
With only two years remaining on Harrison’s contract at Elland Road, this is the summer where Leeds could land serious money for the winger.
Yet, there’s an ambition to keep him around long-term.
As per a report from The Athletic’s Phil Hay, looking at the interest Leeds are fielding in Harrison, there are contract talks scheduled.
“With two years to go on his deal, he is the one player of intrinsic value whose deal needs attention soon. The club have not opened structured talks with him yet but on the assumption that Harrison remains at Elland Road, that discussion is likely to start towards the end of this window or shortly after it closes.”
Harrison struck eight goals in the Premier League last season, plus two in the EFL Cup.
Since arriving at Elland Road from Manchester City – initially on loan in 2018 – he’s made 166 appearances for the Whites and scored 28 goals, whilst also registering 21 assists.

It’s underrated how key Harrison is to Leeds.
For the last four seasons he delivered really good numbers consistently. Sometimes he’s frustrating, but he plays a lot of football and, come the end of the season, often has a big say in some vital games.
Leeds should be looking to tie him down long-term and not selling him.
If they can get through this summer and whatever Newcastle throw at them, they should be able to negotiate something with Harrison.
It’s also worth noting that the club has been good to him and, hopefully, there’s the desire there to stay and repay that in the coming years.
Can you see Harrison leaving this summer?
