Showdown meeting at Leeds as Aidan White’s time runs out

White is said to have requested the meeting to “clarify his future” as he fields other offers.

His contract at Leeds expires later this month but negotiations over a new deal have reached an impasse, with White unlikely to accept Leeds’ most recent proposal and United reluctant to improve their offer to him.

German side Werder Bremen and French outfit Lille were linked with White last week and it is understood other overseas clubs have expressed an interest in him.

Leeds will receive compensation if White leaves Elland Road but clubs outside England have the security of incurring a fixed sum decided by a clear FIFA formula.

Leeds boss Neil Warnock has indicated that White is likely to move on, saying: “I don’t expect he’ll accept the offer from what I was told by his advisors.”
