The most recent Leeds United transfer rumors are shown below.
After the drama of deadline day last week, when Luis Sinisterra forced his way to Bournemouth, Leeds’ transfer business can now take a much-needed back seat.
He departed for the South Coast on a season-long loan to the Premier League in the eleventh hour of deadline day, needing a deal sheet to complete the move.
Graham Smyth of the YEP reveals that the Colombian could stay with the Cherries in the long run, though, after speaking on the Inside Elland Road podcast:
Insofar as there is an option to buy, but only if Leeds remain a Championship team heading into next season, they have somewhat safeguarded themselves in the Sinisterra transaction.
“And they’ll be paid more than they did for him, too. They therefore spent around £21 million, and if they don’t go up, a figure in excess of that will be due to them next summer, assuming Bournemouth activate it and wish to sign him.
Herea., we examine two causes for the failure of this loan for Sinisterr
We’ve got a terrific substitute.
It’s understandable that Jaidon Anthony’s arrival at Leeds managed to slip past everyone’s notice given the circumstances surrounding the deal.
However, he was highly regarded by manager Andoni Iraola and had been a constant in their side over some recent very successful seasons after starting three of Bournemouth’s four games this season.
He contributed to six assists and eight goals during their promotion-winning season, which helped the Cherries secure automatic promotion.
If there had been more time to look through the pool of available players, the club could have preferred a different acquisition, but Anthony is an excellent way to recover from this last-minute departure.
This loan agreement gives Leeds a reasonable amount of protection.
If we go up, we can either demand any fee we want or, if we so choose, reintegrate the player.
However, Smyth notes that if we remain in the EFL for one more season, we should be able to recoup the £21 million we spent on Sinisterra.
Making that kind of money off of a player who has a history of injuries is excellent business and positions us well for the future should we need to rebuild.
