INTERESTING: What Leeds United fans needs to know about Players Exist chance linked to Red Bull partnership as the whites receive HUGE lifeline saving last season mistake .
On the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, former England international Paul Robinson discussed how increased investment, such as the recent minority ownership stake acquired by Red Bull, could persuade key players like the 18-year-old to remain at Leeds.
Leeds officially announced on May 30 that Red Bull has acquired a minority stake in the club, leading to additional financial support.
Despite this, Robinson cautioned that ambitious players might still be tempted by offers from Premier League and European clubs, making it challenging for Leeds to retain them.
Several players, including Crysenico Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto, are reportedly considering leaving the club during the summer transfer window.
Robinson believes that while Leeds faces a difficult task in convincing their star players to stay beyond this summer, Red Bull’s involvement could make a significant difference.
He stated, “There are things Daniel Farke will want to do with his squad, players he’ll want to move out… They’ll have a good idea of which players they were going to keep and who will leave if they’re in the Championship, so there’ll be no panic… If Leeds don’t lose their star players, that would be huge… The investment from Red Bull could be the key to keeping hold of some of these players… But players will have ambition and it’s very difficult to keep a player who doesn’t want to be at the football club… If the likes of Gray, Gnonto and Summerville decide they want to leave this summer, it’s going to be a hard sell to keep them at Leeds with Premier League clubs interested.”
