When clubs agree a fee the agent of the player will have been negotiating simultaneously with several other clubs and one of those clubs may now be trying to complete the transfer at a prior agreed fee with the club I'd expect.
Whether Leeds choose to buy or waits to negotiate a particular deal will inevitably have 'knock on' consequences for other transfers that are directly/indirectly linked. Agents will be aware of all these situations at multiple clubs throughout various leagues worldwide. It's like multiple games of chess at the same time - looking for the right transfer opportunity and strategically planning a number of moves ahead which I'm sure Leeds are now doing 24/7.

Many of these issues – transfer fee negotiations, agents commission, contract renegotiations, image rights deals, work permits,language translators and international transfer clearances are all being worked on in parallel.

For Leeds a £35m transfer actually equates to a club outlay of possibly £50m so Rads investors pockets will be required. It means that the club’s directors, technical team, scouts and manager need a 'very clear picture' of what the team’s PL budget will be this season.A player on £2.5m per season on 4 year contract plus bonus soon adds the noughts up.Pretty certain all Leeds deals will be in instalments too as per norm.So wel'll have to wait and see !

We know the kitty isn't much and have been told as such. But by splashing all the kitty on ****agers it doesn't leave much for proper signings.
