Leeds United have rejected Brentford’s £40m offer for teenager Archie Gray, as reported by our sister publication The Yorkshire Evening Post.
On Saturday it emerged, Gray was close to sealing a move to the Gtech Community Stadium. Gray had agreed personal terms with Thomas Frank’s side and headed to West London for a medical. Leeds and Brentford had agreed on a £40m fee but the transfer was not yet finalised with the clubs still in talks over the payment schedule. However, the Whites have now rejected the offer from Brentford.
Speaking to the YEP earlier this year, club chairman Paraag Marathe was unable to rule out Gray leaving Elland Road as Leeds battled to stay within Profit and Sustainability regulations. He said: “If I can paint the big picture for you, there are certain things that we need to do and we will make sure we are fully compliant with P&S, as we always have been. And there are certain trade-offs that we have to make and so we’ll have to get to the drawing board and figure out which moves we have to make sure that we are compliant. It’s too early to say.
