Leeds United are set to let duo’s contract expire this summer after already making a decision over Luke Ayling.
Leeds have bid an emotional farewell to Luke Ayling as he embarks on the final months of his Whites deal, currently on loan at fellow Championship club Middlesbrough. However, other key players like promotion heroes Liam Cooper and Stuart Dallas also face impending contract expirations, alongside several others.
Football Insider now reports that the club are poised to bid farewell to both Sam Byram and Dallas in the summer when their contracts expire.

Among the 10 players potentially leaving, these two stand out, boasting a combined 440 appearances for the club. Dallas hasn’t played since suffering a femoral fracture in April 2022, while Byram secured a one-year deal after impressing his former Norwich City manager, Daniel Farke, during pre-season with the Whites.
Another player that is confirmed as leaving is German defender Robin Koch, who is currently on loan in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Meanwhile, Ian Poveda, who has enjoyed his time on his loan spell with Sheffield Wednesday, is likely to leave the club if the Yorkshire achieve promotion back to the Premier League.
Club legend Liam Cooper, having made 282 appearances for the Yorkshire side, may be another player that departs Elland Road this summer.
