Blow for Leeds player as club likely to reject him from European squad – one of two ‘expendables’

When Rasmus Kristensen was forced to leave Leeds United following their relegation, he chose to join AS Roma.

A loan agreement was reached between the two clubs, allowing the Dane to leave Elland Road and play some European football for the Serie A club, which is competing in the Europa League.

However, Corriere dello Sport reported on Monday that the Leeds loanee could be left out of the club’s squad due to FFP issues.

AS Roma had various restrictions ahead of this season, including a cap on the amount of money they could invest.

They are currently attempting to analyse the cost of transfers, player depreciation, salary added to the team, and any commissions paid to agents in order to determine where they stand.

As a result, despite seven players departing and seven new faces joining, they may only be able to add five players to their Europa League roster compared to last season.

As a result, they are scrutinising their roster to determine which players are ‘expensive,’ with Corriere dello Sport reporting that Rasmus Kristensen and Sardar Azmoun are the most likely candidates.

Because AS Roma also have Rick Karsdorp and Zeki Celik at right-back, they can potentially do without the Leeds man.

If it happens, it will be a setback for him, and certainly not what he hoped for when he chose to relocate to Italy after leaving Elland Road.
