Patrick Bamford has emerged as a contender to leave Leeds United in the January transfer window, and it has now been claimed that one club have been keeping tabs on him since the summer.
The one-time England international has been at Leeds now for six and a half years but the striker has failed to start a single Championship game this season. Reports say Bamford could now leave in January.
Indeed, he is not the only one. Joe Gelhardt wants to leave Leeds, while Max Wober is a target for his old side Salzburg. Vitor Pereira’s new side Wolves are now being touted as a possible suitor for Wober.
Besiktas want Junior Firpo with his contract expiring next summer, while Rennes are considering a move for Illan Meslier as they look to replace Steve Mandanda. But Bamford if the latest to possibly depart.
Wrexham have kept tabs on Patrick Bamford since the summer
League One high-flyers Wrexham, who currently sit third in England’s third tier, are one of two clubs interested in Bamford. Indeed, Wrexham and Serie A side Genoa are said to be keen on signing Bamford.
Now, a report from GOAL say Wrexham have been considering a move for Bamford since the summer. A club owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Bamford could now end up in Wales next month.
What Graeme Bailey has told LeedsUnited.News about Bamford
With 18 months left on his contract, the £40k-a-week striker could now depart if he is to decide to leave Leeds mid-season. Bamford’s chances of game time seem small with Joel Piroe considered first choice.
Mateo Joseph is also ahead of Bamford, and Graeme Bailey has told LeedsUnited.News that Leeds would be open to offers for Bamford. However, Leeds are not actively looking to cash in on the striker soon.
Indeed, it is more a case of if Leeds receive offers for Bamford than they will be considered. But Daniel Farke said Bamford remains “crucial” to Leeds and that seems still to be the case ahead of January.
