   ​[Getty Images]Leeds United managing director Robbie Evans says the club and boss Daniel Farke are “on the same page” as they look to agree a new contract.Farke, who guided Leeds to a 14th-placed Premier League finish and an FA Cup semi-final last season, after winning promotion from the Championship in 2024-25, is in the final year of his current deal.The Whites have taken five points from three league games this campaign, and Evans said the German had done “a fantastic job”.”As far as the contract discussions themselves, I’ve had really good chats with himself and his team for the past three months,” Evans added. “They are all on the same page.”Unlike signing him back in 2023, or doing a deadline day deal, the time pressure is far reduced. We have time to get it right as far as what he wants and what we want. I don’t feel it is taking a long time.”As long as we are still operating together as a group – and we are doing great on that front – I’m not worried.”The short answer is that he has done great. We want him to be here long-term and we are working on it.”Leeds brought in James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic, Nico Elvedi, Melvin Bard, Harry Wilson and Jean-Matteo Bahoya this summer.Evans added that he was “thankful” the club only needed to sell one player to come into line with the financial regulations.”I was pretty confident coming into the year that we would have to sell some guys in June,” he said. “Frankly, it was the FA Cup run and the minimal work in January that kept it to just one player.”Read the full article hereListen to West Yorkshire Sport Daily, weeknights at 18:00, and subscribe to BBC Radio Leeds’ Don’t Go To Bed Just Yet podcast on BBC Sounds
