What happened: Leeds United have confirmed that goalkeeper Illan Meslier will leave Elland Road when his contract expires later this month. The club said the French keeper "will always be a big part of the club's history." Separately, Leeds said discussions with goalkeeper Darlow are still ongoing.

Why it matters: Meslier's departure removes a long-serving goalkeeper from the squad and opens a key question between the posts heading into the new campaign. The timing fits the wider squad reshaping Leeds United has signalled for the season ahead. How the club resolves the Darlow talks will shape its goalkeeping depth.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation of Meslier's next club and the outcome of the ongoing Darlow contract discussions in the coming weeks.
