Leeds United<\/a> have been limited in spending this season by a lack of significant sales made following promotion, something our rivals have not struggled.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Whites saw the January transfer deadline pass by with a whimper as no fresh additions were made on top of the impressive loan capture of Facundo Buonanotte<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most notable reason for Leeds not being capable of making another signing on top of that was PSR limitations. <\/p>\n

Why couldn\u2019t Leeds United spend more within PSR limits during January?<\/p>\n

That \u00a340million offer for Jorgen Strand Larsen<\/a> looked like Leeds had cash to burn in the January window. However, it\u2019s since been revealed that it was actually a loan-to-buy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds offering an initial loan stands to reason, given what we know about our PSR situation. Managing director Robbie Evans stated in September<\/a> that the club had maxed out spending during the summer.<\/p>\n

The reason for that is the lack of significant sales. Look at Sunderland<\/a>, their shrewd Championship spending was followed by post-promotion sales of Jobe Bellingham and Tommy Watson, spring-boarding their PSR headroom to unprecedented levels for a promoted side.<\/p>\n

What sales did Leeds make?<\/p>\n

Less than eight figures in sales were completed by Leeds in the summer. As a result, it capped Leeds at around the \u00a3100million mark<\/a> for their 25\/26 outlay, unless others were cashed in on for further book profit.<\/p>\n

Wolves showing the 49ers up with huge exit windfalls as Leeds United lament lack of sales<\/p>\n

If Leeds were capable of maximising sales, perhaps there would have been scope for permanent arrivals in the January window.<\/p>\n

That frustration over the club\u2019s hands being tied looks worse when you consider how much money Wolves are getting for selling some of their assets.<\/p>\n

The Molineux side still have a fight on their hands to avoid being the worst Premier League side ever. Even still, they managed to get \u00a348million<\/a> for one-goal striker Strand Larsen.<\/p>\n

Reports from South America<\/a> now claim that Wolves have received a staggering \u20ac25million (\u00a321.5million) for underperforming 28-year-old Jhon Arias.<\/p>\n

Not only is Arias leaving for a hefty sum, but failing 28-year-old centre-back Emmanuel Agbadou is heading to Besiktas to the tune of \u00a315.5million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite being destined for the Championship, Wolves are banking around \u00a385million<\/strong> for three players. Two of them leaving for \u00a337million have been nowhere near the level of the Premier League.<\/p>\n

It leaves me frustrated that we couldn\u2019t raise further funds to finance reinforcements. We\u2019ve got a side in Wolves that are in much weaker position, but have raised significant funds. Alongside Strand Larsen\u2019s exit, they\u2019ve made big money on two players that very rarely looked up to the standard.<\/p>\n

Circumstances likely didn\u2019t allow us to raise funds in such a manner. That said, it\u2019s an area the 49ers have to show they can improve on in hopefully future Premier League seasons.<\/p>\n
