Report: Leeds want to sign 24-year-old star who was in scintillating form last season
Rangers winger Ryan Kent was outstanding for the Gers last season, and he is still wanted by Leeds United. Leeds attempted to lure Kent away from Ibrox in 2020, but Rangers stood firm on their decision not to let him go. It proved to be the right one as Kent played a massive role in helping Rangers lift the Scottish Premiership title last season. The former Liverpool winger bagged 13 goals and 15 assists for the Gers across all competitions, proving his class and quality. According to The Athletic, Leeds still retain an interest in signing Kent from Rangers. Although the Gers are under no pressure to sell their prized assets, there is a concern that they have recouped very little from sales while investing around £40 million since Steven Gerrard took charge three years ago.

La Liga chief: Impossible for Barca to keep Lionel Messi without departures
Barcelona must considerably reduce their wage bill in order to keep Lionel Messi, LaLiga chief Javier Tebas said on Thursday, adding that the club would not be shown any leniency when it comes to obeying the league’s strict financial control rules. Messi, Barca’s all-time top scorer and appearance maker, ended his 21-year association with the club last month and is currently a free agent as the Catalans cannot offer him a new deal due to their financial predicament. President Joan Laporta said last month that Messi was keen to remain at the club but giving him a new deal was being held up by the league’s Financial Fair Play regulations. Spanish media reports had suggested LaLiga could relax the rules to allow the six-time Ballon d’Or winner to stay at Barca but Tebas said there was no chan...
‘Progressing well’: Report claims key Leeds star is close to signing new long-term contract
Patrick Bamford is close to agreeing terms on a new contract with Leeds United, according to The Athletic. The 27-year-old striker moved to Elland Road from Middlesbrough in 2018 for around £10 million.

The former Chelsea and Middlesbrough ace racked up 17 goals and eight assists in 38 Premier League games for Leeds. Bamford is absolutely vital to how Marcelo Bielsa’s side set up to play. Not only is he a technically gifted striker, but he is also great when playing with his back to goal and bringing others into play. Patrick Bamford close to new Leeds deal The Athletic claims that talks over a new contract for Bamford are progressing really well. It will be...

According to Football Insider, the player could cost around £20 million this summer, and his valuation has encouraged the Premier League club to make their move.
