Patrick Bamford's future at Leeds United appears uncertain, as manager Daniel Farke has reportedly informed the striker that he is not part of the first-team plans for the current season. This decision comes after Bamford saw limited playing time last season, where he was restricted to 235 minutes of Championship action. The 31-year-old, who has a year left on his contract, was also absent from the squad for a recent friendly against Manchester United.
While there had been some speculation about a potential move back to Middlesbrough, a recent report has clarified that the club is not looking to sign Bamford. Leeds's desire to sign a new starting number nine, coupled with the recent free-agent signing of Lukas Nmecha, further casts doubt on Bamford's future at Elland Road.
