GREAT NEWS: Leeds United fans dream of not letting go of ACE player with £30m release now in Positive state despite numerous speculation on Players Elland Road future doubt.
It’s expected to be a busy summer transfer window at Leeds United, with several players likely to arrive and depart following their failure to secure an immediate Premier League return. Multiple stars from Daniel Farke’s squad have already been linked with moves away in the three weeks since their playoff final defeat to Southampton.
While Farke would prefer to keep his best players, Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe has acknowledged some player trading will be necessary as a Championship club for another season, though he insists they will still have a strong squad.
Players like Crysencio Summerville, Willy Gnonto, Archie Gray and Georginio Rutter have all been rumored as potential departure candidates. Being young talents, they could command seriously high transfer fees. Financial expert Adam Williams suggests some sales may be needed before June 30th, when £73 million in transfer installments are still owed.
However, according to The Athletic, Leeds have yet to receive any formal offers for Summerville, deemed the most likely to be sold thisi summer. The club is expected to demand around £30 million for the 22-year-old winger, who won the Championship Player of the Season award. Clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, Brighton and Crystal Palace have been linked, but no official bids made yet.
It will be interesting if Leeds actively pursue selling Summerville by month’s end to kickstart their own transfer business, though he is not expected to force an exit. Interestingly, Chelsea’s pursuit of Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise could trigger a domino effect – if they sign Olise, Palace may then move for Summerville as his replacement, potentially accelerating Leeds’ window activity.
