New twist in Archie Gray saga as Leeds United make decision after £80.5m Brentford move

With The 49ers having to sell for financial reasons, Archie Gray was expected to finish his move from Leeds United to Brentford, but Graham Smyth and Fabrizio Romano add a fresh wrinkle.

On Saturday night, there were rumors that Leeds was about to cash in on Gray in response to a £40 million approach from Brentford. The primary factors influencing the club’s decision to approve Gray’s offer were profit and sustainability.

Clubs must submit their financial reports by June 30. According to reports,

Leeds had to sell a high-profile player and generate some revenue to meet the requirements and stay clear of a point deduction this month.

Ben Jacobs claimed that Leeds had told Gray that the club needed to sell him in order to achieve these requirements. That is despite Gray’s desire to remain where he is and the backlash from fans.

However, Smyth of the Yorkshire Evening Post now offers a startling update, which Romano then repeats:

Graham Smyth reports that Leeds turned down Brentford’s offer for Gray.
Going to Brentford appeared to be a formality. The England U21 player Gray is scheduled to get a medical examination at Brentford on Saturday night, and Smyth himself announced this information on Saturday night.

The Premier League clubs might try to take advantage of this move, thus the Bees wanted a speedy medical exam. Aston Villa, West Ham, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Liverpool are all monitoring a possible Brentord deal.

However, Smyth now claims that Leeds has turned down Brentford’s £40 million offer. It is surprising because, according to rumors, the club had given Gray permission to communicate and visit Brentford prior to an impending transfer.
