Fiorentina unlikely to trigger £six million Jack Harrison clause amid Leeds uncertainty | OneFootball

Fiorentina are understood to be leaning against activating the £six million buy-out for Jack Harrison at the end of his loan, placing the winger’s Leeds United future in doubt.

According to Leeds Live, figures in Florence believe the 29-year-old has featured sufficiently but not shown enough to justify the clause, and one contact claims the club have already settled on that stance. Harrison has made 20 appearances for Fiorentina, with 13 starts, mostly on the right, scoring once and supplying three assists.

He asked to leave Leeds in January when Fiorentina moved, having struggled for minutes under Daniel Farke after an attempted reintegration. A shift to a back three saw him used as a left wing-back, where he toiled, and he departed after a poor FA Cup outing at Derby County.

Fabio Paratici, who arrived from Tottenham in January, is said to want a reset this summer after a relegation fight. Fiorentina are now virtually safe, nine points above the drop with three games to play, and Harrison has contributed.

Harrison has two years left on his Leeds deal, though the internal expectation is he could again ask to go in the summer. Signed permanently in 2021 for £11 million after a long loan, he has played 219 times for Leeds, helping earn promotion in 2020. In 118 Premier League games for United he scored 21 goals and made 16 assists, including the decisive strike at Brentford in 2021/22.

As things stand, his next move appears open, and Fiorentina might not be part of it.
