Agents are now in Portugal and the kids getting £76k per week and wants Leeds. The club are happy but want to get above €30m (£26.5m)
Too many onto this now from all over Europe and the Florian guy who broke it is the German Romano and usually correct. The headline below is from Portugal and Germany? Georginio Rutter now set to complete club-record Leeds United transfer from Hoffenheim
All the news outlets are getting excited about Rutter maybe we’re going to be pleasantly surprised. I tried watching a few clips on him, nothing that makes you think wow but at that price surely he has something about him Joffy out on loan then if it happens?
In fairness ristac I don’t bother with clips. A waste of time. Anyone can be made look good in a couple of minutes of video and from a different standard of league. Only thing that matters to us is how he’s performing in a Leeds jersey at end of March or sooner
Totally agree, just a strange one £26m for a 20 year old striker with a very poor goal scoring record, I wondered what it was that appealed. Apparently he’s leading the charts for players taking on and beating the opposition
I’m refusing to get excited till that private jet lands in LBA with him on board and we then need to give him at least four medicals over next three weeks
One guy wrote: If he has struggled at times this season why would he go for so much money when they only bought him for £750k from Renns Hoffenheim fans feel they’ve got our pants down, all very excited about how much they’re getting for him. Leeds fans excited as we’re spending big, Hoffenheim thinking it’s hilarious
He’s a huge talent, but the fee or €30m-€40m seems more tied to potential than current ability. So he isn’t worth the money then? Not necessarily. Could prove to be an inspired signing in the long run. Just seems very expensive right now. Ronan Murphy Bundesliga expert for Sony Sports
Also thinking about it, it depends on up front payment. Suspect smallish and what way the balance is payable and how much is bonuses. We would surely have learned a lot from the jka transfer debacle
Beats me. Never heard of him till two hours ago. There will be experts on Twitter of course who have followed his career since he was in nappies
What’s stupid, he joined his current club for £750k in Feb 2021 if nobody had mentioned a fee I’d have thought what a waste of money. Because they’re talking £26m I’m getting excited about the signing. Maybe Vic is on his way over thinking they said £2.6m This is either complete bollocks or we’re taking a huge gamble
