Pete O’Rourke wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that Alex Baird is attracting strong interest from multiple clubs ahead of the January transfer window, and that he will be available on a free transfer in January with several sides monitoring his situation closely. Sources close to Leeds United suggest that they will not prevent Baird from leaving should he decide to do so. The player and his representatives are exploring new opportunities that would allow him to play regular football. There is no indication of a contract renewal for Baird, and his current contract is expiring soon.
