Overview
- Leeds have signalled they will not sell Ethan Ampadu and will not entertain offers in the near term, according to Football Insider.
- The 26-year-old signed a new contract in June that runs until 2030, giving Leeds a strong negotiating position over any potential moves.
- Ampadu is club captain and a regular starter under Daniel Farke, having captained the side in recent cup fixtures and started league games.
- Chelsea have been linked with a possible return but outlets report the Blues are unlikely to make a concrete approach soon and are expected to assess other targets.
- Ampadu came through Chelsea’s academy before joining Leeds permanently in 2023, and keeping him underlines Leeds’ intent to protect core players as they pursue their long-term plans.
