Tyler Adams release clause dispute now emerges at Leeds United as behind-the-scenes mess escalates - MOT Leeds News 17/8/23

Bournemouth are confident the release clause to sign Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams remains active, according to the Athletic.

Adam Leventhal wrote on Thursday (17 August) that the Cherries made a £20million bid for the United States international on Monday, which they believe met the deadline for his time-limited release clause following Leeds’ relegation last season.

However, he added that Leeds are of the opinion the clause was in fact not triggered and has now expired, leading to an impasse.

The report adds that as it stands there has been no agreement on personal terms between Premier League Bournemouth and Adams.

Chelsea were previously heavily linked to Adams’ signature, but that move broke down (Daily Mail, 11 August) with the Blues consequently bringing in Moises Caicedo and agreeing a deal for Romeo Lavia.

Sort this mess out ASAP!

Just when it looked like Leeds United and their woes with relegation release clauses was over, more confusion reigns in a transfer window to forget for the Whites.

Adams has been linked with an exit pretty much all the way through the transfer window and Chelsea were heavy favourites to sign the 24-year-old, who only joined Leeds from RB Leipzig in July 2022.

However, a move to the Blues ultimately failed to materialise and Bournemouth and Brighton were among the teams who were reported to hold an interest in the influential midfielder.

Daniel Farke assured that clauses for Adams and winger Luis Sinisterra had expired when speaking to the media on Wednesday (16 July), and it looked as though the power was finally back in the hands of Leeds.

But this latest twist is sure to add even more uncertainty in a window that really has been unkind to Leeds. Farke will hope that this one is solved as soon as possible as the focus really does now need to be on incomings at Elland Road.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
