Leeds United has no intention of selling their 26-year-old Welsh international captain, Ethan Ampadu, despite recent speculation linking him with a return to Chelsea, the club he departed in 2023. Leeds' position is supported by a new four-year contract Ampadu signed in June, which secures the defensive midfielder until 2030. The club is determined to keep the player and does not intend to consider offers for him in the near future, although Chelsea are reportedly monitoring his progress. A significant transfer attempt from Chelsea is unlikely in the immediate future, and Ampadu's long-term contract means Leeds can refuse to sell unless they receive an exceptional offer. Ampadu has 65 caps for Wales and a current market value on Transfermarkt of €30.00m.
