Austinin siirrosta päätetään ihan lähihetkinä.. mutta ei kai pelaajasta jonka sopimus päättyy Joulukuussa
voi hirveästi maksaa..? Ellei pelaajan nimi satu olemaan Messi..
SK Brann have told Rodolph Austin that he will have a decision on his future before the end of this week as Leeds United work to tie up the signing of the Jamaican midfielder.
Austin is pushing for permission to begin discussions with Leeds after expressing his desire to join the Championship club, and United manager Neil Warnock is hopeful that a deal will be finalised in the next seven days.
Brann have rejected an initial offer from Elland Road, believed to be in the region of £200,000, but will sell the midfielder if Leeds return with a bid which meets their valuation.
The Norwegian side are keen for Austin to remain with them until after their league match against Aalesund on Sunday but sources in Bergen expect Austin’s future to be resolved in the next 72 hours.
Austin has twice come close to securing a deal in English football, missing out on a move to Stoke City due to a failed work permit application and denied the chance to join Warnock at Queens Park Rangers in January of last year.
Brann rejected QPR’s offer and have so far held firm in negotiations with Leeds, despite a belief that the club are resigned to losing Austin.
Warnock said: “I don’t think there’s anything agreed but we’re in conversations. I’m hoping we can tie a deal up and get him as soon as possible in the early part of next week.”
Austin’s arrival at Leeds would strengthen a midfield weakened by the sale of Adam Clayton to Huddersfield Town but Warnock has revealed that Michael Brown is poised to take up a new one-year deal at Elland Road having reached the end of his previous contract last month.
Tarinan mukaan Brownkin jatkaisi sopimustaan vuodella joten päästäneen aloittamaan sarja väh. 11:llä miehellä...
