Sky Sport Confirmed Leeds United has signed Sunderland best player €66m rated,Jesse Marsch smile…
Paraag Marathe claimed when 49ers Enterprises first completed their takeover of Leeds United that negotiating is what he does in his sleep.
Due the amount of interest in so many of Leeds‘ players this summer, it would be fair to say that is about to be put to the test.
So far, Leeds have shown a side to them that has not been there in previous years by shifting much of the deadwood in Daniel Farke‘s squad. 12 players have already left, and Glen Kamara is close to becoming number 13.
However, given the message that has been portrayed regarding Leeds’ PSR situation since Archie Gray’s £40 million sale to Tottenham, the 49ers are about to face their biggest task yet.
Junior Firpo, Wilfried Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville, Rasmus Kristensen and in all likelihood more are the subject of strong interest right now, and it is up to the 49ers to get the right fees so it can be reinvested. If they fail, another year in the Championship awaits.
In terms of Leeds’ ability to get decent fees for players this summer, it has been a bit of a mixed bag. Gray became the most expensive English teenager of all time in joining Spurs, so it is hard not to consider that good business.
Nearly £4 million for a defender who barely played last season in Charlie Cresswell is solid, and turning a profit on Kamara just a year after his move from Rangers is also decent enough.
