Sam Greenwood, who is currently out on loan at Middlesbrough this season could already be set for a surprise Leeds United exit after a latest Phil Hay update.
The Athletic journalist reported on Monday (9 October) that Teeside giants can exercise the option to buy the 21-year-old who has a contract at Elland Road until 2026 for just £1.5million.
It is said that this is the exact amount Leeds United paid to secure his services from Premier League giants Arsenal back in 2020.
ay reports that Middlesbrough – and Greenwood – have the remainder of the season to assess the potential of a permanent transfer.
The 21-year-old forward scored his first Middlesbrough goal during Saturday’s 4-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light to cap an impressive individual performance which certainly highlighted why he is highly regarded at Elland Road.
Last August, he signed a new contract until 2026 but that was under Jesse Marsch, who saw a midfield role for Greenwood.
