Leeds United are determined to keep their talented academy product, Archie Gray, at the club this summer, sources have revealed to Football Insider.
The 18-year-old has emerged as one of the most sought-after players at Leeds, with top clubs like Tottenham, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich already showing interest.
Gray’s impressive performances this season, making 52 appearances across all competitions, have made him a key player for Daniel Farke’s side.
His versatility, playing both as a right-back and in midfield, has caught the attention of many scouts and coaches.
Despite the interest from top clubs, Leeds United are keen to keep Gray at his boyhood club, where he has been since joining the academy at the age of eight.
The club is planning to make him a central figure in their promotion push next season and will do “everything they can” to keep him at Elland Road.
Gray’s family has a rich history with Leeds United, with his uncle Eddie Gray playing 577 times for the club.
However, the club’s financial situation, needing to recoup £150 million in player sales after failing to gain promotion, makes them vulnerable to big-money offers.
Leeds United will have to navigate these challenges to keep their talented young player, but sources close to the club are confident that they will do everything in their power to keep Gray at the club.
With his contract running until June 2028, Leeds United are in a strong position to negotiate, but the interest from top clubs will undoubtedly test their resolve.
