Leeds United are open to selling Mateusz Bogusz this summer but want to include a £7 million buy-back clause in the Polish attacker’s contract, as reported by Sportowe Fakty.
Buy-back clauses are commonplace on the continent – Barcelona and Real Madrid have exercised them on numerous occasions over the years – but such agreements tend to be few and far between in England.
Leeds, then, could buck the trend if Bogusz bids farewell to Elland Road in the upcoming transfer window.
Reports coming out of his homeland claim the Premier League newcomers are willing to sell the 19-year-old for a fee in the region of £1.3 million.
Any club willing to enter negotiations, however, would have to accept the existence of a clause allowing Leeds to re-sign Bogusz, at any time of their choosing, for a cool £7 million.
SF adds reigning Polish champions Legia Warsaw would jump at the chance to bring Bogusz back to the Ekstraklasa.
That £1.3 million asking price would have to be lowered, though, if Legia are to strike a deal.
“I must admit I would like him to be in Legia,” manager Czeslaw Michniewicz told Sport last week. “It may not be a realistic transfer.”
Leeds coach Marcelo Bielsa has spoken in glowing terms about Bogusz in the past, taking the teenager on the club’s pre-season tour of Australia in 2019.
So far, however, a talented forward snapped up from Ruch Chorzow has made only one league appearance for the Whites while spending the past six months on loan at Spanish second-tier outfit Logrones.
