Leeds United have reportedly ended their interest in Derby County forward Matej Vydra.

Talks have been ongoing for the majority of the summer over a move to Elland Road for Vydra.

The two clubs were yet to come to an agreement over £11m-rated Vydra and there were reports the player’s wage demands had been a sticking point.

With Patrick Bamford now set to undergo a medical ahead of a £7m move to Leeds, the Yorkshire Evening Post is reporting that the Vydra chase is over.

“Leeds engaged Abel Hernandez and Matej Vydra at the start of the summer transfer window and believed they were close to landing Vydra from Derby County for £11m earlier this month until an unexpected increase in the Czech’s wage demands complicated negotiations,” the report said.

“The YEP revealed on Wednesday that United had been monitoring Bamford since talks with Vydra hit an impasse and the club moved to table a bid with Boro for the former Chelsea trainee despite further meetings with Vydra last week.

“United’s successful bid for Bamford has ended their interest in Vydra, who priced himself out of an Elland Road move by asking for more than £50,000 a week in wages.”
