Leon Baley’s agent Craig Butler has played down reports that he will be moving to Saudi Arabian club Neom as premature and mere gossip.

When asked by Our Today to confirm, Butler said: “I’m in talks with several clubs and haven’t made a decision whether we move or stay yet.”

Reports emanating from England suggested that Bailey is expected to join the newcomer Neom SC in a £25 million deal, which would see him earn up to £10 million (J$2.1b) a year.

The 27-year-old winger is currently at Aston Villa, having joined them in 2021 from Bayer Leverkusen. He has scored 16 goals for Villa from 110 games and six goals for Jamaica from 34 matches.

Bailey was a key member of the Villa squad that qualified for the Champions League last season but has since fallen out of favour in the pecking order while battling niggling injuries.

“It’s too early in the window to make those decisions ahead of World Cup qualifiers and the Gold Cup, among other things,” said Butler.
