Patrick Bamford will leave Leeds United and is set for a fresh chapter in his career.<\/strong><\/p>\n The striker joined the Peacocks from Middlesbrough in the summer of 2018 and made 205 appearances for the Yorkshire club.<\/p>\n Bamford\u2019s future at Leeds was in doubt all summer<\/a>, given his astronomical wages, concerning injury record, and waning career.<\/p>\n The Whites officially announced that a mutual agreement had been reached with Bamford<\/a> to terminate his contract on 28 August.<\/p>\n Now, MOT Leeds News<\/strong> assesses where the 31-year-old could end up, with three possible destinations.<\/p>\n Bamford\u2019s wages were an issue for Leeds<\/a>, with the forward earning an estimated \u00a370,000 a week, according to Capology<\/a>.<\/p>\n With that in mind, it would take a club with substantial backing to land the former Chelsea man.<\/p>\n Step up, Birmingham City.<\/p>\n It has been reported that Birmingham, along with several other Championship<\/a> clubs, were interested in Bamford earlier this summer, although the credibility of those sources is unknown.<\/p>\n However, the Blues are one of the clubs that could afford a move for the 31-year-old, given their recent spending and wealthy ownership.<\/p>\n Of course, there is an argument that the West Midlands side does not need him, given they have Stansfield and Kyogo, but a short-term deal could tempt them.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Simon Jordan fires savage dig at Patrick Bamford as Leeds set to sign Calvert-Lewin<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n (Credit: Leeds United YouTube)MLS move may appeal to Patrick Bamford after Leeds United exit<\/strong><\/p>\n There could be more Elland Road exits after Bamford<\/a>, with the transfer deadline set for 1 September.<\/p>\n Now that the forward will be a free agent, he can take his time to complete a move regardless of the deadline.<\/p>\n One move that is likely to appeal to a 31-year-old is a move to the MLS \u2013 a league famed for acquiring ageing Premier League<\/a> players, with Bamford admitting it is an option he\u2019d like to explore<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the United States, there is one particular club that stands out due to its manager, and that is Charlotte FC.<\/p>\n Indeed, the MLS club are managed by Dean Smith, who managed Aston Villa, Brentford, Leicester City, and Norwich City.<\/p>\n He could decide to use his links to England and provide a new challenge for Bamford across the pond.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n (Credit: Charlotte FC YouTube)Wrexham would be a Championship wildcard move<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Patrick](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Patrick-Bamford-1024x575.jpg\")
