According to The Athletic, higher-placed Premier League clubs made enquiries for Ethan Ampadu, and Leeds United expected imminent bids. However, Ampadu has extended his contract with Leeds for four more years. Club president Paraag Marathe stated that keeping the captain was never in doubt.

Amid rumours that Ethan Ampadu could move away from Leeds United, the club is hoping to secure him to a new deal. According to a report from The Leeds Press, they are expected to open talks over a new contract with Ethan Ampadu as soon as the season ends. The player has just one year left on his current contract. Adam Crafton from The Athletic claimed that it would be beneficial for Leeds United to keep Ethan Ampadu at the club beyond this season. Multiple clubs will be monitoring his situation.

Team Talk reports that a number of Premier League sides and clubs across Europe have been monitoring Ethan Ampadu's situation closely, and that they are aware his contract is entering a period where interest typically intensifies.

Though he now looks settled at Leeds and has channeled his many years of adult football into invaluable leadership at Elland Road, there are plenty of good reasons why bigger and better clubs could and should come calling.
