Patrick Bamford is expected to depart Leeds United in the summer transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that his “big” wages are a “problem” for any potential move in the January window.
The 31-year-old is not expected to leave Elland Road until the end of the season when a “parting of the ways” is set to take place between them, bringing an end to his seven-year spell at the Yorkshire giants.
Bamford hasn’t started a game in the Championship this season after falling down the pecking order, but he remains on a pretty big deal at Leeds.
The former England international has been linked with a move to Wrexham as the American-backed League One side have major ambitions and aspirations.
However, well-placed sources have told Football Insider that Bamford is likely out of the Welsh club’s price range unless they were to be in the Championship next season.
Patrick Bamford’s future could be away from Leeds United
Another option for Bamford could be to play abroad with Genoa also monitoring his situation at the moment.
The Italian side has just had a new takeover and could have the finances to go and sign somebody of Bamford’s experience and quality.
However, Genoa are also not expected to make a move for the Leeds forward in January and any move there would be next summer.
Bamford is under contract with the Yorkshire giants until 2026 and the next stage of his career is going to be down to him.
Bamford has yet to open his account for the season but has only played 192 minutes across his nine appearances in all competitions.
