Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams is finally heading to Bournemouth this weekend as the clubs agreed a deal for the USMNT captain to join the Premier League club.

Having been injured for the final stages of the 22/23 season, many wondered whether Tyler Adams would remain at Leeds beyond the summer window for this season.

Chelsea triggered his £20million release clause before opting to chase other targets, leading to Bournemouth looking to do the same – which they have now agreed, per multiple sources.

A contract clause dispute looks to be resolved one way or another, with The Athletic reporting that a deal has been agreed.

Here, we look at what wages Leeds look to have cleared and how much they are bringing in for the 24-year-old…

How much are Leeds selling him for?

Per The Athletic’s Adam Leventhal, the deal to take Adams to the South Coast with Andoni Iraola’s side will cost £23million, with add-ons on top of that.

What this suggests is that the release clause in question was in fact invalid by the time an agreement was reached, but that Leeds and the Cherries reached an amicable solution.

What are his wages?

According to Capology, Adams earns a wage of £55,000-per-week at Elland Road, but these figures haven’t taken into account that the squad were subject to wage cuts in their contracts following relegation.

Should that have been the case for Adams, his wage would actually stand at 50-60% less, meaning he’d earn £22,000-£27,500 each week.

Liverpool fans will have been no doubt relieved to see new signing Wataru Endo included on the bench ahead of the club’s hosting of Bournemouth at Anfield.

It had been up in the air in terms of whether the Japanese international would secure clearance in time for the afternoon fixture, though it wasn’t the only bit of good news supporters were treated to following the Reds’ X announcement.
The availability of Stefan Bajcetic, freshly back in the squad after suffering a serious injury last term, on the subs bench will have surely also raised a smile amongst the fanbase.

The Spanish-Serbian was arguably our standout performer after the World Cup in Qatar – a view backed by Mo Salah at the time – keeping then first-choice No.6 Fabinho out of the side with a series of formidable performances.

To have his season curtailed by injury was highly unfortunate, though hopefully the arrival of fellow holding midfielder Endo, and potentially a further signing beyond that, will ensure we’re never in a position again where we’re piling all the pressure on the shoulders of an Academy graduate.
