Bournemouth believe they triggered Leeds midfielder Tyler Adams' release clause after lodging a bid worth £20million earlier this week, according to reports.
Adams' contract featured a time-limited relegation clause, it is believed, after he signed a new deal last summer before the club slipped back into the Championship.
He was widely expected to move on from Elland Road and looked to have found his next destination on the south coast, only for the potential switch to hit the buffers.
Indeed, The Athletic have claimed that when the Cherries made their surprise offer for Adams on Monday, his release clause had still been in place.
