Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams reportedly holds a relegation release clause in his current contract, meaning clubs can bypass Leeds in negotiations to sign him this summer.
The Whites are gearing up for life back in the Championship this summer after finishing 19th in the Premier League on Sunday, and there’s a lot of work to be done to get the side ready for the season’s start in August.
While signings and a new manager are needed, what could come first is exits from the first team, with a host of players bound for a departure.
Will Tyler Adams leave Leeds?
Adams hasn’t played for Leeds since mid-March after his hamstring injury kept him out for the rest of the season, and it’s highly likely that we won’t see him in a Leeds shirt again.
The USMNT captain proved to be a vital presence in the midfield for Leeds, and there’s likely to be suitors for him from across Europe after his standout performances for club and country this term.
Adams release clause revealed
Bola VIP are now reporting that Adams is one of the players looking to secure a move away from West Yorkshire this summer.
Not only that, but that his contract also contains a release clause that has now become active with relegation, standing at £30million.
There is no Premier League interest cited in the report for him, but there is from Europa League finalists Sevilla.
Happy if Aaronson leaves?
Yes
No
Adams leaving is inevitable, but one positive thing to take from this is that we’re going to get a considerable amount for him.
£30million sees us make a profit on him in just 12 months, and it’ll set us up really nicely to replace him with some quality in the Championship.
Adams is too good to be playing in the EFL next season, and Sevilla being interested is proof that he’s worthy of a big move.
