A report in The Independent says David Richmond has instructed Philip Morrison to find buyers for players as the club's new official negotiator.
News that an agent has been brought has been conveyed to Alan Smith, Paul Robinson and Mark Viduka.
Richmond signed a letter of approval allowing Morrison to find buyers for their most valuable assets in case there is a need to raise money quickly.
In a fax, sent to clubs and fellow agents, Leeds reveal that Morrison's arrangement with them runs until May 16, the day after the end of the Premiership season.
So, for Morrison to do his job, he will have to have transfers in place while Leeds are still fighting for Premiership survival.
Morrison did a similar job at Sunderland when they were relegated from the Premiership last season, and he helped find new clubs for a number of players.
