Alan Nixon reports that Leeds United might not have the funds to engage in a bidding war with Ipswich Town in an attempt to capture Blackburn attacker Sammie Szmodics.
On July 27, the Sun writer posted an update on Patreon, stating that Ipswich was currently in talks to sign an international player for the Republic of Ireland for £8.5 million.
Blackburn has established an unofficial deadline of Wednesday, July 31, for the sale of the 28-year-old.
Leeds United needs to withdraw from the competition to sign Sammie Szmodics.
Given the financial difference and Szmodics’ probable preference for Premier League play, Leeds ought to give up on pursuing him.
The 28-year-old finds Ipswich Town, who were recently promoted, to be a more alluring alternative because they can provide bigger salaries and a premier platform.
The Whites, who are still in the Championship, would find it difficult to match Ipswich’s financial resources and might end up being outbid.
Furthermore, Szmodics, who is 28 years old, might value playing in the Premier League more than joining a Championship team.
Leeds should concentrate their efforts on goals that are more realistic and in line with their current financial situation and league position.
