Leeds United’s Joe Gelhardt, a target for both Rangers and Celtic, is a potential loan candidate in January due to his substantial wages, as per Alan Nixon’s report. Despite making 49 senior team appearances, the 21-year-old finds himself low in the pecking order under manager Daniel Farke, prompting consideration for a loan move.
Given Gelhardt’s significant wages, Leeds may need to sponsor a portion of his salary to facilitate the loan and ensure he receives valuable playing time. This financial arrangement could benefit all parties involved. Rangers and Celtic, both interested in the striker, might be able to afford a share of his wages, making the move a viable option.
While Gelhardt gains crucial playing experience for his development, Leeds retains an asset that could appreciate in value, and the interested clubs strengthen their squad with a promising young talent without bearing the entire financial burden. The report suggests that there could also be interest from Championship clubs seeking to secure Gelhardt’s services, but it remains to be seen if any concrete offers materialize.
In related news, an international player linked with a move to Leeds United is reportedly discontent at his current club and could potentially make a move in the January transfer window.
