Given they were unable to secure promotion to the Premier League, clauses in contracts have meant that Leeds have been powerless to stop key players leaving.
Manager Daniel Farke stated: “This morning was pretty emotional because he more or less said goodbye.
“He said goodbye in a pretty emotional way to each and every staff member and to each of his team-mates.
“I expect in the next 24 to 48 hours, it will be confirmed and I’m pretty sure we will be without him.”
