Leeds United defender given potential exit route as Fabrizio Romano makes Bundesliga claim
Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen has reportedly attracted interest from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 27-year-old was among the many players who left Leeds on loan in the aftermath of relegation to the Championship. He spent the 2022/23 season in Italy, making 31 appearances for Roma.
He is now back at Leeds following the expiry of his loan deal, although could potentially have another transfer opportunity. According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the Denmark international has been shortlisted by Die Adler.
A move to the club would reunite him his former Leeds teammate Robin Koch, who joined Eintracht on a permanent basis after an initial loan spell.
Kristensen joined Leeds in the summer of 2022, reuniting with his former Red Bull Salzburg boss Jesse Marsch. He made 30 appearances for the Whites in his debut campaign, although proved inconsistent.
A right-back by trade, Kristensen would add depth in a key area for Leeds if he was to remain at Elland Road. However, there was a degree of anger from the Leeds fanbase when he sought pastures new last year.
Leeds have been linked with Sheffield United’s Jayden Bogle, while the Whites have also extended Sam Byram’s contract.
