Amina UmarIn a shocking turn of events, Leeds United has rejected Brentford’s bid for midfielder Archie Gray, despite reports that a £40m deal had been agreed upon.
According to Sky Sports News, Gray was set to undergo a medical and had agreed to personal terms worth £75,000 per week. However, Leeds has decided to pull the plug on the deal, citing concerns over the financial offer.The move comes as a surprise, given that Leeds was believed to be in dire need of selling Gray to alleviate their financial concerns under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability (PSR) regulations.
Brentford had been keen to sign the young midfielder, but it seems their offer was not enough to convince Leeds to part ways with their prized asset.Tottenham Hotspur, who have been long-time admirers of Gray, are now in the spotlight, with many wondering if they made a late move to hijack the deal. However, it remains unclear whether Spurs have indeed made a bid, or if Leeds simply decided to hold out for a better offer.
The collapse of the deal leaves Brentford reeling, with their plans to sign Gray now in tatters. The Bees had been concerned about rival clubs trying to hijack the deal, and it seems their fears have come true. For now, Gray will remain at Leeds, leaving Brentford to regroup and reassess their transfer strategy.This development comes on the heels of Manchester United’s decision to pull out of a goalkeeper deal last week, and Newcastle United’s efforts to sign Nottingham Forest player Elliot Anderson. The transfer market is heating up, and it seems that nothing is certain until the ink is dry on the contract.
