Sport nationLeeds United Set to Announce Georginio Rutter’s Departure to Brighton
According to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Leeds United is on the verge of announcing Georginio Rutter’s transfer to Brighton after the French forward completed his medical and signed a long-term contract with the Seagulls. The deal is reportedly worth £42.6 million, including all clauses, which is £2.6 million more than initially expected.
While this news may not come as a surprise to Leeds United supporters, it’s still a disappointment to see Rutter’s exit become a reality. The club had rejected Brighton’s initial proposal, and many fans had hoped he would remain at Elland Road this summer. However, with the £40 million release clause in his contract and Leeds missing out on promotion to the Premier League last season, it was always going to be challenging to keep him.
On the positive side, Leeds United has managed to secure a significant transfer fee for a player they may have otherwise lost for a lower price. This influx of funds provides the club with more resources to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes. The pressure is now on the 49ers to invest in new signings and support manager Daniel Farke.
