Leeds Anticipate PSR Increase with Projected Player Sale, Potentially Yielding £5m Profit – Report
Leeds United Expected to Receive Financial Boost if Glen Kamara Sale Goes Through, Beren Cross Reports
According to Leeds Live journalist Beren Cross on 15 July, Leeds United’s financial fair play projections are expected to improve significantly due to the impending sale of Glen Kamara to Rennes.
If the reported £8.6 million deal, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, goes through, Leeds could generate a profit ranging between £2.75 million and £5 million. Kamara, aged 28, spent only one season in West Yorkshire, primarily as a defensive midfielder, showing strength in his role but less productivity in attack.
Despite managing four assists last season, his offensive contributions pale in comparison to new signing Joe Rothwell, who, despite playing fewer games for Southampton, was involved in five goals from a similar position.
From a financial perspective, receiving around £8.6 million for a player of Kamara’s age is considered a solid return, as noted by ELMO TV on 14 July. His departure creates an opportunity for young prospect Charlie Crew to step up, having recently signed a four-year contract with Leeds.
Overall, while some may question the decision, particularly in terms of sporting logic, it appears to be a strategic move by Daniel Farke and Leeds United to enhance their financial standing.
