Bristol City boss resigned to losing Leeds target Callum O'Dowda | OneFootball

Callum O’Dowda has just 12 months remaining on his current deal and Bristol City has slapped a £10m price tag on him.

Bristol City manager Lee Johnson seems completely content with losing the 15-time Irish international this summer as Leeds circle for his signature after failing to land him in January.

“He’s a good student, good player, he’s an Ireland international and he’s a type we want to build around but at the same time, I’m a custodian of the job and I have to do the right thing by the team,” he said.

“If that means that we move Callum on, and he gets his dream move, then so be it. We’ll reinvest and go again.

“He’s got a contract so the options are: sell now, Callum sees his contract out and goes on a free or Callum signs a new deal, but it won’t stop him anyway from going to the Premier League because Bristol City don’t do that.”

In 35 appearances in all competitions, O’Dowda scored five goals and assisted on another five.
