The Yorkshire Evening Post report that the youngster is set to agree a new Leeds contract before heading out on loan for the upcoming season.
The Elland Road academy product, who joined after being released by Middlesbrough in 2013, is regarded as having a bright future by United even though he has not added to his solitary first-team appearance made in April 2016.
Peacock-Farrell is behind established number one Rob Green and new signing Felix Wiedwald in the goalkeeper pecking order at the club, while Marco Silvestri also remains on the books.
League One outfit Oldham are said to be just one of the teams vying for his signature.
