Charlie Cresswell, a defender for Leeds United who has been linked to moves to Millwall and Blackburn in January, has received an update from Alan Nixon.
According to the journalist for The Sun, no team is currently coming close to matching Leeds‘ asking price for the 21-year-old center defender.
He revealed on Patreon on January 14 that the two Championship teams will compete for his services.
Nixon stated on Twitter, “At this point, nobody is even close to asking price.”
Makes sense
Leeds would be undervaluing their 21-year-old player if they sold him for a low sum, since he is a bright talent with room to grow.
In order to match the Whites‘ asking price and take into account his potential and the investment invested in his development, Blackburn and Millwall, who are competing for his services, must pay it.
Moreover, Cresswell‘s retention at Elland Road as a useful backup fits well with the team’s squad management approach. Football players frequently suffer from injuries and bans, but having a gifted and adaptable backup defender like Cresswell gives the team much-needed depth.
This guarantees Leeds can manage a hard schedule and handle unforeseen difficulties all through the season.
Leeds‘ persistence on keeping Cresswell at the asking price shows a dedication to obtaining fair value for their assets and a strategic approach to squad building for both the now and the future. In the modern football market, clubs are frequently under pressure to sell players.
In other Leeds United news, a foreign player who has been linked to a move to Elland Road is reportedly dissatisfied at his present team and may be leaving in the January transfer window.
