Irons make the Byram position clear
The Leeds United right back is out of contract at the end of the season and any fee would be subject to a tribunal hearing should the Irons agree terms.
The 22 year old is two years within the age limit for a Tribunal ruling and the Irons are keen to avoid negotiations at inflated prices with the Yorkshire outfit this month.
A tribunal is needed when a player under 24 years of age moves clubs having reached the end of his contract. Whatever valuation the tribunal comes up with is non-negotiable.
The player will have changed clubs at that point and there is no right of appeal on either side once a figure has been reached.
Leeds have made it clear they want a deal done this month given that they will almost certainly see him leave for a reduced fee once it reaches the Tribunal.
However, no club is likely to move in given the circumstances this winter (unless they have cash to burn) and the Irons are set to keep their powder dry too.
