“Leeds United: £25 Million Player Faces Repercussions as Summer Decision Takes an Unfortunate Turn – Insight”
Several members of the Leeds team who weren’t good enough to guarantee Premier League survival thought the grass was greener somewhere else in the summer.
One of those was Brenden Aaronson, who shortly after being relegated moved to Union Berlin on a season-long loan, joining a Champions League team.
A defeat against Real Madrid on home turf midweek marked the premature conclusion of Union and Aaronson’s European journey this season, failing to qualify for the Europa League knockouts.
Aaronson, consistently utilized as a substitute for the Bundesliga side, had limited impact on the game, despite Alex Kral scoring a spectacular equalizer, only to be countered by Dani Ceballos in the final minute.
In addition to the Champions League setback, Aaronson is facing challenges in the Bundesliga as Union grapples with relegation, a stark contrast to their previous upward trajectory in recent seasons.
This week, SportBild released a story that shed light on Aaronson’s future with the German team and revealed that a permanent contract is not in the works.
Union now views a long-term deal as “unthinkable,” citing the USMNT player’s performances in addition to their financial predicament and precarious top-flight status.
For Leeds supporters, who felt Aaronson was not good enough in the Premier League the previous season, it will be ironic because Aaronson believes he is too excellent to stay and compete for promotion in the EFL.
Rather, for one of the numerous turncoats, it has been a very humble half-season. He is not welcome long-term at his loan club and will not be received warmly upon his return.
