Leeds United have allegedly been quoted £20million for Jack Harrison.

Leeds United missed out on a spot in the Championship playoff final last week, meaning they must now start to plan for another season in the second tier.

The Whites must fight to keep manager Marcelo Bielsa first and foremost, but must also be clever in the transfer market, with some positions at Elland Road needing some attention.

Leeds must have a left winger in place for next term, as Jack Harrison will be returning to Manchester City, and a permanent move looks impossible.

The Sun claim that City want a staggering £20million for Harrison, after the 22-year-old notched four goals and three assists in the Championship for Leeds.

That’s surely beyond Leeds, and the price tag is even more frustrating given the situation surrounding Daniel James’ move from Swansea City to Manchester United.

Not only did Leeds have a deal line up in January worth more than £5million which fell through (YEP), but even after starring in the second half of the season, his valuation still isn’t at Harrison’s.

The Daily Mail report that James will be moving for £15million, joining United in a bitter pill to swallow for Leeds, though the move has been sadly helped up by the tragic passing of James’ father.

Leeds will be frustrated that James has been out of reach twice in 2019, at a cheaper price than Harrison each time, and when they should have the Welshman in as Harrison’s successor, they’re now left wondering where to turn next.
