MOT View: Andrea Radrizzani would be chased out of Leeds if reported £90m player sale update comes true
Leeds United are in the thick of a relegation battle in the Premier League with only four games to play this season.
The Whites would face big trouble should they drop to the Championship, with big-name players being forced to move on.
The Daily Mail shared an update in the past 24 hours, naming Patrick Bamford, Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha as three with relegation release clauses.
It was reported that Andrea Radrizzani installed the clauses in these deals that could see all three leave for cut-price deals.
All three would be available for around £30million each, meaning Leeds could now face a mini-exodus of around £90million.
Then you add on the likes of Illan Meslier, who may also want to move on after his taste of the big time at Elland Road.
Shocker.
Radrizzani would be chased out of Leeds if that was to come true.
Not only has his lack of investment in transfers this season left us in huge trouble, he then has the audacity to do something like this.
If Bournemouth can sell Nathan Ake to Manchester City for £40million after relegation, Phillips and Raphinha for sure could still go for that or more in this current day market.
With the 49ers Enterprises likely to step into the role of majority investors this summer, Radrizzani will not want this to be his final say at the club.
The Italian delivered Premier League football back to Elland Road, and a brilliant first season in it, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Unfortunately, that isn’t enough though and Radrizzani will likely be held accountable if we crash down to the Championship the following season.
Add in these shocking relegation clauses that could have easily been higher for three international players and he will be chased out of Leeds for good.
