Leeds United transfer news as lucrative contract update emerges in Nadiem Amiri deal

The German media outlet reported on Monday (28 August) that the 26-year-old has flown to Leeds as he’s now open to a move to Elland Road.

Should the deal go through, Leeds will have to pay Bayer a £5.15million fee to complete the transfer.

No more hold-ups?

 

 

If there’s been a negotiation on his contract and it’s lucrative there is no reason for this deal to not go through.

The Whites will be paying the transfer fee and any hold-up was on the player’s end and not on Bayer’s end.

The German club seem happy to let go of the midfielder for the right price and it was him being unsure about where his future lied, which is what saw

there being so many delays

 

 

 

It’s clear that Leeds are looking for one or two central midfielders this summer and signing someone like Amiri despite being in the Championship is

impressive.

He’s a full Germany international – a country that’s got a number of world class players – and will be one of the best midfielders in the second tier.

Daniel Farke surely will have played a part in convincing him to join if he does end up moving to Elland Road.

Agents claim made as Leeds United agree fee for Joseph Paintsil transfer

The former BBC journalist, who founded Ghanasoccernet and Footballghana, among other news websites, reported on Monday (28 August) that the

25-year-old’s agents are unhappy with personal terms being offered.

Footmercato journalist Santi Aouna reported earlier on Monday that the Whites had reached a fee agreement with Genk.

Daara wrote on Twitter, “Ghana 🇬🇭 winger Joseph Paintsil’s proposed move to Leeds Utd has COLLAPSED over the terms offered to his club Genk

“Agents are also unhappy over the personal terms offered the player resulting in the decision to pull out.

“An English club has started talks with Genk.”

Sigh

Leeds cannot afford to botch another transfer just because they’re being stingy in terms of salaries being offered.

If Paintsil is keen on joining, which it seems like he is, it is a big deal as they’re now a second-tier club and not in the Premier League.

He perhaps believes in the project Daniel Farke has sold to him and that’s a positive sign so the board must not let the manager down.

 

 

 

This pursuit could also be down to the fact that Luis Sinisterra could be leaving and he’s been viewed as his replacement this summer.

Hopefully, they manage to keep hold of the Colombian and also sign Paintsil but it remains to be seen if that’s possible.

Clarity is needed quickly on this deal or Leeds can then move on to other transfer targets as soon as possible.
