Leeds United delay Daniel Farke contract talks until Premier League safety | OneFootball

Leeds United director Peter Lowry says the club are not discussing a new deal with Daniel Farke while top-flight safety remains uncertain.

"We have not yet stayed in the Premier League. We are not yet secured, so we’re not talking about it," he told BBC Radio Leeds.

Leeds have endured a turbulent return. A run of only two defeats in 15 was followed by a slump, with only two wins in their last 11.

Back-to-back 1-0 home losses to Manchester City and Sunderland have raised the pressure. Farke is contracted until June 2027 and faced criticism after the Sunderland game, despite two tight VAR calls going against Leeds.

Lowry framed the pause as focus, not dissatisfaction. "To talk about Daniel’s contract now is just not on the table. Not for him and not for us. We have one goal."

If Leeds secure survival, Farke could receive strong support in the summer window. He may have a £100m budget with several targets already identified.

The run-in will decide their immediate future and any managerial decisions at Elland Road, with Premier League safety the clear priority.
