49ers told to pay £60m for Leeds signing, ‘would cause Premier League shockwaves’
Leeds United are preparing to go big in the transfer window as they look to stay in the Premier League.
The 49ers have given Daniel Farke £100 million to spend to stay in the English top-flight, but this has not stopped the Peacocks from being linked with multiple top-class players.
Leeds are linked with former England international Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has been making his trade in Turkey.
On top of this, former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is keen on a switch to Elland Road as the Yorkshire club looks for a new goalkeeper.
However, Leeds could now reportedly blow a big hole in their transfer budget this summer.
Leeds enter the race for Manchester City star Jack Grealish
Jack Grealish has struggled in the Premier League in recent seasons at Manchester City.
The England international is now out of favour after a terrible run of form.
As a result, Pep Guardiola is keen to sell the 29-year-old this summer, with Leeds now in the race for his signature.

| Assists | 5 |
According to The Chronicle, page 43 (10 June), Grealish is available for £60 million this summer, with Newcastle’s interest now being played down.
It is claimed that clubs with stature, like the Magpies, are being linked to the England international to help push his exit.
Now, Leeds and Everton have been linked with the winger, with his future no longer being at the Etihad Stadium.
However, Farke’s side could face a problem with wages as the 29-year-old currently pockets £300k-a-week.
Leeds should go all out to sign Grealish
If Leeds were to bring in Grealish, it would no doubt send shockwaves throughout the Premier League.
After the last two seasons, it has become a trend for all of the promoted sides to go down without a fight.
However, if the Peacocks were to bring in someone like Grealish, it would be a massive statement of intent.
The England international is still a sensational player, and if Farke can get him to rekindle his previous form at Aston Villa, it will give Leeds a massive advantage in the relegation battle.
Hopefully, the issue with the winger’s wages can be quickly resolved in order to sign the attacker.
