Leeds United could now make major U-turn that would save the 49ers millions despite rumours
Leeds United have money in the bank after their big summer sales last year. This next summer, there’s money to be spent, but expect the 49ers to be savvy with it.
Leeds United could really go for it in the upcoming summer transfer window if Daniel Farke manages to get the side promoted this season.
Last summer, Leeds United sold Georginio Rutter for £40 million and then Archie Gray for another £30 million, with several other player sales taking Leeds’ summer sales income well above the £100 million mark.
Despite raking in so much money, the 49ers and Farke proved somewhat shrewd with their signings, signing the likes of Joe Rodon for £10 million and then signing Ao Tanaka for just £3 million in what now seems like the bargain of the season.
If Leeds can return to the Premier League and its riches, then the summer ahead could be an expensive one at Elland Road. But even if they do miss out on promotion, then Leeds might have put some big money on the table to get themselves ready for a third go at promotion.
Leeds United could quickly change their mind about £15m Manor Solomon
One summer deal that Leeds have been tipped to complete is a permanent deal for Spurs loan man Manor Solomon, who up until recently has been in fine form for the Whites with seven goals and seven assists in 32 Championship appearances so far this season. But the 25-year-old now has just one goal: involvement in his last nine appearances.
Against Swansea City, Leeds United fans were critical of Solomon, who put in another anonymous performance. It’s not for the first time of late either, and Farke may be thinking twice about a potential £15 million permanent deal for Solomon this summer, with the Israeli also having been linked with Everton and Southampton.
But what’s most frustrating, at least from the outside looking in, is the fact that Farke seemingly refuses to rotate his attackers despite having so many good options to choose from.
