AliousTEAMtalk reports that Archie Gray’s family recognizes the potential value in entertaining discussions with Borussia Dortmund, should the German club make a firm offer.
At just 18, Gray emerged as a standout performer for Leeds United last season, seamlessly transitioning into first-team football and becoming an integral part of the squad.
His impressive displays have garnered significant attention, potentially making him a prime candidate for a transfer away from Elland Road this summer.
While teammates Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto are also likely to attract interest, Gray’s youth, potential, and long-term contract (extended until 2028) make him arguably Leeds’ most valuable asset.
This contract extension puts Leeds in a strong position to either retain their young talent or demand a substantial fee.
However, following their play-off final loss to Southampton, Leeds may need to balance their books, leaving the door open for potential transfers.
Besides Dortmund, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have also shown interest in Gray.
Despite the attention, TEAMtalk suggests that Gray and his representatives are content with him remaining at Leeds for now.
However, they acknowledge that dismissing talks with a club of Dortmund’s stature would be unwise, especially given the German side’s success with young English talent like Jude Bellingham.
While interest in Gray is high, his teammate Summerville is currently seen as more likely to depart.
Staying at Leeds could benefit Gray, offering familiar surroundings and regular playing time under Daniel Farke.
A move at this early stage of his career could be risky unless guaranteed substantial game time elsewhere.
Although a future transfer seems likely for the England youth international, the current summer may not be the optimal time for such a move.
