'I can't see Struijk staying'
- Published
BBC Radio Leeds' Jonny Buchan and Adam Pope, and Kaiser Chiefs' bassist Simon Rix discuss whether Pascal Struijk will stay at Elland Road this summer on the latest Don't Go To Bed Just Yet.
"Retaining players is really important. But could this be the summer where they sell someone for a lot of money? That might be a few fringe players, such as Wilfried Gnonto. I think Strujk has become even more pivotal. I'd be delighted if they tied him down," said Pope.
Buchan added: "I can't see him staying. If they're talking about how tight they are on the money, and the situation they find themselves in, he is profit. He would go for what will be deemed as all profit.
"However sad that is, if that's the reality, he might want to go get European football now. If the club are looking for a little bit of wiggle room, then he is key to that isn't he?"
The centre-back made 296 defensive contributions, 118 recoveries and 207 clearances in the 2025-26 Premier League season.
