Leeds United Extend Transfer Offer for Jayden Bogle Amid Sheffield United Departure Update
The journalist, reporting on his Patreon page on Sunday (14 July), noted that Leeds United’s offer for Jayden Bogle falls significantly short of Sheffield United’s valuation, with potential add-ons bringing the total offer to around £3 million.
According to Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath (13 July), Daniel Farke’s side has shown interest in the 23-year-old defender, who experienced relegation from the Premier League with Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United last season.
Sheffield United values Bogle at approximately £7 million, highlighting a substantial gap between the two clubs as they negotiate a potential deal this summer.
Leeds United, having already lost Archie Gray and Connor Roberts early in the transfer window, are eager to secure defensive reinforcements before the Championship season resumes. While Sam Byram is a capable option with considerable experience at that level, concerns linger over his injury record, having never completed a full season without injury.
Bogle is a highly regarded defender who would fit well into Farke’s team. However, the crux of the matter lies in whether Leeds and Sheffield United can find common ground on a transfer fee, given the disparity in valuations.
The reported £4 million offer represents a significant sum, yet Leeds may weigh the option of signing Bogle on a free transfer when his contract expires next year at Bramall Lane. This consideration may lead Leeds to hesitate before committing to an inflated fee.
Conversely, Sheffield United may be reluctant to sell one of their key players to a direct promotion rival at a reduced price, complicating negotiations ahead of the upcoming Championship season.
