rel=\"noopener\">Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The forward is seen as arguably the brightest prospect at Thorp Arch, with <a

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The brother of Archie Gray, Harry is a Leeds fan<\/a> and has already made his first-team debut, but is yet to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/Premier-League\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a> appearance.<\/p>\n<p>The high potential of <a href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/Harry-Gray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gray<\/a> has already resulted in transfer links elsewhere, with Manchester City the latest to throw their cap in the ring.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/harry-gray-1024x576.png\"

href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/transfers\/harry-gray-set-for-january-exit-at-leeds-united-as-international-fight-commences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gray is central to a fight between England and Scotland<\/a> over landing the allegiance of the youngster on the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>That sort of battle could soon be replicated between clubs as the teenager continues to drum up transfer interest away from Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"

rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Patreon<\/a> on 21 December that Man City are planning a deal to sign Gray from Leeds in a \u201cmassive deal\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The 17-year-old may be central to a \u00a340million price tag from the Whites due to his status as a future starter in LS11.<\/p>\n<p>He has been on the Citizens\u2019 radar for some time, and there is now an expectation for a bid, with potentially a swap deal in the pipeline.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" loading=\"lazy\"

href=\"https:\/\/motleedsnews.com\/tag\/Kalvin-Phillips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kalvin Phillips<\/a> has been namedropped by Nixon, but his current wages at the Etihad are seen as a \u201cmajor problem in any possible return\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Englishman would be welcomed back with open arms, but it feels unlikely as part of a deal for such a bright talent.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds must keep hold of Gray at all costs<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of landing \u00a340m for a player who has only featured once under Daniel Farke is surely attractive to the Leeds hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p>That sort of fee could be distributed throughout the squad and provide improvement in January ahead of the second half of the season.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"

Imago<\/p>\n<p>That may be the case, but having a talent as elite as Gray in your academy is something that comes around once in a blue moon (ironically).<\/p>\n<p>The teen could be worth double that \u00a340m someday, so letting him go at this stage could prove to be a massive mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds have the future of their forward line ready in waiting, so they can\u2019t just bow down to Man City this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoyed this article?<\/strong> Stay connected with all the latest news, updates, and behind-the-scenes content by following us on our new Instagram account \u2013<a
