Ever since Jack Harrison’s return to Elland Road was announced this summer we’ve been wondering how much his permanent clause was set at.
There had been plenty of speculation around the figure as Football Insider stated that it would be in excess of £10m, but this week we found out that Harrison’s services would cost less than first anticipated.

A report from The Athletic states that Harrison’s clause would see him cost Leeds just £8m at the end of the season.
£8m for a man who has undoubtedly been one of your best attacking players this season is an absolute snip. Harrison has contributed to the second most league goals within the United squad this season with 11.
That’s a tally almost three times higher than Helder Costa who has contributed to four efforts, and Leeds are set to pay £15m to land him permanently at the end of the season.
If United’s valuation of wingers is consistent and they believe Costa is worth £15m, then surely £8m falls way below the Man City loanees true value, and the Whites shouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger on this one.
The best thing about this is that the 23-year-old has improved exponentially this term as he’s already contributed to four more goals than last season despite being just over halfway through this campaign.
If Harrison continues that rate of growth, then he’ll be a star for years to come, but even if he stays at the same level he’ll be worth way more than £8m.
In other news, the stars may be aligning for Leeds to sign one man.
