Kieran Maguire: 49ers have transfer plan to resolve Leeds United’s “serious” £190m issue

Kieran Maguire shares how Leeds resolve owed transfer fees

Finance expert Kieran Maguire has now spoken about the club’s current predicament heading into the summer, with player sales likely to be a major helping hand in solving the cash flow problem.

Loan players that left in the summer could be the way that the 49ers bring in significant revenue to manage the finances, as Maguire spoke to Football Insider:

“Leeds United have got a lot of players out on loan this season which could cushion the blow of not being in the Premier League.

“So that’s something which they will have to negotiate their way through next season.

“Leeds do have a serious cash flow issue in terms of what they owe to other clubs for previous signings so that will stop them spending big this summer unless they sell.

“But I think the 49ers are too big of a brand to not give the club appropriate levels of support and they will know that there will be backlash if they fail to do so.”

The 49ers should have what it takes this summer

If we’re in the Premier League, this isn’t going to be an issue for us – both in terms of selling players and repaying these owed fees.

Staying down represents a major headache and you would expect that we’re going to have to sell multiple players, including some from the main squad.
