Paraag Marathe’s Leeds United transfer promise already rings true with two exits looming – See

“Fortunately, we don’t have as many of these situations as last year. We are also not in a race against time. At this time last year we were still 12 days away from completing the deal to take over the club.

“Team chemistry is important – which players fit in versus which don’t. Last year it was hard to deal with and it’s not as hard anymore. We don’t sit back like the passive club. I’m not willing to admit that there will or won’t be a profit for certain players.”

Already, it looked like Leeds were much stronger, with only two arrivals this summer having such loan clauses, but Roca being sold reduces that to just one: Jack Harrison.

Leeds therefore gets revenue back into the club through these assets and strengthens our ability to attack the transfer market.
