The race for Blackburn Rovers attacker Sammie Szmodics has been a topic of much debate, with Leeds United and Ipswich Town leading the charge. Despite Ipswich’s recent victory in the promotion battle over Leeds, Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony is pushing for Szmodics to join the ranks at Elland Road.
Ipswich Town is making waves in the transfer market with big-money signings like Liam Delap and Jacob Greaves, while Leeds United is being more calculated in their spending, focusing on players like Joe Rodon and Jayden Bogle.
Rumors of Ipswich’s rejected £6 million offer for Szmodics have surfaced, putting both clubs on a tight deadline to secure the player. Despite the competition, Leeds Live speculates that Leeds’ interest in Szmodics may be a strategic move to force Ipswich to up their offer.
With Blackburn demanding a hefty £20 million for Szmodics, Leeds may be hesitant to make a move for the young talent. However, MacAnthony believes that the allure of Leeds’ history may be too enticing for Szmodics to resist.
As the transfer window deadline looms closer, the battle between Leeds and Ipswich for Szmodics’ signature continues to intensify. Only time will tell where the promising attacker will end up this summer.
