Patrick Bamford now looks set to leave Leeds United after weeks of speculation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former England international has been at the Yorkshire club since 2018 and has helped oversee two promotions to the Premier League<\/a>. <\/p>\n

However, in the last campaign, the striker failed to find the net once, despite Daniel Farke\u2019s<\/a> side winning the Championship.<\/p>\n

As a result, speculation surrounding the 31-year-old\u2019s future has increased throughout the window. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, reports emerged that Bamford was not in Farke\u2019s plans for the upcoming season<\/a>. <\/p>\n

As a result, it is expected that the striker will leave Elland Road<\/a> at some point during the transfer window. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

With the 31-year-old in the last year of his contract and out of form, any transfer fee will likely be small. <\/p>\n

However, given the wages the striker is on, it should save the Yorkshire club hundreds of thousands.<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that Bamford was on \u00a370k-a-week at Leeds<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\nPatrick Bamford at Leeds United<\/strong><\/td>\n\ufeff<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAppearances<\/td>\n205<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGoals<\/td>\n60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAssists<\/td>\n25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nHonours<\/td>\nChampionship title x2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Bamford has had a successful career at Leeds United<\/p>\n

Since then, The Athletic<\/a> (29 April) claimed that Leeds\u2019 player wages have gone up by 50-60 per cent after winning promotion. <\/p>\n

Therefore, based on this, between now and the expiry of his contract, Bamford would pick up \u00a3770k in wages.<\/p>\n

On top of this, the striker would likely pick up additional funds from bonuses and clauses which could be triggered from something as simple as an appearance.<\/p>\n

Even if Bamford wasn\u2019t to play a single match for Leeds<\/a>, he could cost the Yorkshire club further if he were to get injured, forcing physios to nurse him back to fitness. <\/p>\n

Therefore, any sale over the next few weeks would likely save the Peacocks more than \u00a3770k. <\/p>\n

As much as a quick Bamford exit would save Leeds money, it would also help the dressing room atmosphere. <\/p>\n

Farke is unlikely to be keen on having a player who is destined for an exit around for the opening weekend of the Premier League. <\/p>\n

The German needs his squad to be without any stragglers who could affect the mood of the dressing room.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the transfer saga will be over by the end of July, with Bamford preparing for the new campaign at a different club.<\/p>\n
