Liverpool should insert a buy back clause in negotiations for Leeds wanted star.
Leeds United are reportedly keen on a move for Liverpool’s Ryan Kent, The Mail report.
Kent has not managed to get closer to the Reds’ first team this summer despite having an opportunity in pre-season.
He undoubtedly has talent, but the jump for him to make it at Liverpool is too great right now.
The Reds should be intrigued by the chance to sell him to Leeds, providing they can add a buy back clause into the deal.
Kent has the raw skills to be a star. Marcelo Bielsa could fashion him into the player he aspires to be.
Bielsa has worked with many of the world’s best players over his career and he clearly sees something in Kent.
Leeds are choosing to chase Kent despite selling top scorer Kemar Roofe and already having good wide options.
He could be looking to switch Kent’s position, or he simply feels the Liverpool ace is a better player than what he has.
Either way Liverpool should be encouraged that he is wanted, and should cash in.
This is on the condition the Reds insist a fair buy back clause is added to the deal, perhaps double the price.
That way just in case Bielsa has a plan for Kent which he is able to enact, Liverpool won’t lose out long term and end up looking silly.
