Leeds United fans react as Pontus Jansson edges closer to Brentford transfer
It appears Leeds United are set to lose Pontus Jansson this summer. Rumours had been swirling approaching the weekend after it emerged the Swede was not yet back in pre-season training at Thorp Arch.
A tentative link to Fulham then emerged. Now it seems that Jansson is off to West London, but not Fulham.
Brentford have emerged as the likely destination for the Swedish international centre-back.
, there has been ‘a breakdown in relationship’ between Jansson and Leeds United.
that Brentford are ‘close to sealing a deal’ for the 28-year-old. The fee involved is reported to be £5 million. however, has suggested £5.5 million is more accurate.
Unsurprisingly, the news has caused quite a stir online.
Pontus Jansson is a popular cult figure at Elland Road and is arguably the best centre-back in the Championship.
Some Leeds fans are backing their manager Marcelo Bielsa. If the Argentine has an issue with the player, many feel the coach deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Others understand why Jansson might be on his way. But the price-tag is not being accepted by most fans, who feel Leeds are selling themselves short.
Here is some of the best reaction to the news on social media…
Crazy . What’s going on? Weaken a team that bottled promotion.

The price tag is shocking,and who we are selling him too is worse… honest you couldn’t make this club up

What is going on. Utter madness

Jansson to Brentford. Brentford. £5.5m.
Weirdest transfer ever ?
— Right In The Gary Kellys (@RITGK)
If Bielsa wants rid of Jansson then fair enough 5.5m is pretty poor return but if we got Dan Heppe and Van Der Hoorn both with only 12 months remaining we would arguably be in better shape and we could get both and have 2-3m left over

So Jansson got a ban for Swearing live on TV vs Brentford and saying “we where robbed” and now they are signing him for £5.5M….that’s twice they’ve robbed us

1 million percent I’d rather have Bielsa here than Jansson

FC Krasnodar: “Will you take £10m for Jansson?”
LUFC: “No, of course not.”
Brentford: “Will you take £5.5m?”
LUFC: “Erm, do we look stupid? Of course we will!”— Mark Jankowski (@mark_jankowski)
When you see £5.5 million accepted for Pontus Jansson
— Harry (@HarryzFIFA)
Gutted that is leaving . Loved by the fans and got the club. £5.5m is a joke of a fee but if Bielsa wants rid then I’ll back him. Need to find an adequate replacement ?
— Tim Mcilroy (@TimMcilroy)
Just when we have a good week in the transfer market.. Absolutely gutted?
— John Murphy (@_john_murphy_)
The only player who has genuinely believed it. NOT Pontus Jansson !!!
— Rupert Trousers (@RupertTrousers)
Ben Gibson was sold for £15-million to Burnley and we’re selling Pontus Jansson for £5.5-million.
Absolutely inexcusable.

I’m absolutely gutted Jansson is off. But for £5.5million? That makes everything a million times worse. One of our most valuable assets and he’s, literally, being given away at a time where it’s no secret we need money. Gutted.
