HITC knows that Leeds United do not want to lose midfielder Archie Gray this summer, but interested parties believe he may be available.
Leeds United is under pressure to comply with financial regulations and may have to sanction a significant sale to address their PSR difficulties.
Crysencio Summerville, the Championship Player of the Year, is poised to leave Elland Road this summer, and Archie Gray could now follow suit.
As things stand, the 18-year-old star could be moving to the Bundesliga. HITC can disclose that Borussia Dortmund is vying for his signature, while Bayern Munich is prepared to compete for a deal.
Gray’s signing has also sparked great interest in England, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle, and Tottenham all speaking with Leeds in recent years.
Gray has been watched by La Liga heavyweights Barcelona and Real Madrid, but HITC knows that if Leeds opt to sell, he will most likely end up in Germany.
Leeds United set the asking price for Archie Gray.
HITC understands that any original agreement to sign Gray could be worth less than £30 million, but add-ons and bonuses included in the deal could push the number above £50 million.
Gray was a regular in Daniel Farke’s team last season, missing only two league games in the Championship as Leeds flirted with promotion.
If Leeds do decide to sell their top player, the Yorkshire club will demand a fee sufficient to cover their PSR difficulties.
Jeff Stelling has pushed Gray to continue at Leeds, praising his progress at Elland Road last season.
He made 52 appearances for Leeds in all competitions, including every minute of the Championship play-offs.
