“Leeds United Fans Go Crazy Over Marathe’s Shocking 8-Word Pledge
Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe has assured fans that the club intends to invest every penny it can in this summer’s transfer window to help the team regain its place in the Premier League.
While Leeds boasts a Championship squad rich in quality and some top-flight-calibre players, additional reinforcements will be necessary for a successful return to the top tier.
With current Profit and Sustainability rules making unchecked spending a thing of the past, Marathe confirmed that Leeds is nonetheless in a strong financial position to make a serious push in the market.
Speaking to the Financial Times, he revealed that significant investment would also come from shareholders, explaining that “it’s what we need to go full tilt for the next three years.”
This declaration is likely to boost fans’ optimism, especially with Marathe firmly stating the club’s intent to spend the maximum allowed. “Whatever they will let us spend, we’ll spend,” he said.
Although the exact size of Leeds’ summer transfer budget remains unclear, it could approach £100 million, particularly if player sales add to the funds. A new goalkeeper and striker are believed to be top priorities for the club during the upcoming window.
Marathe is also expected to address the media within the next 24 hours to outline the club’s ambitions for the season ahead and provide clarity on the future of manager Daniel Farke, whose position has come under speculation despite leading Leeds to a 100-point season.
