Leeds United struck gold when they signed Bielsa, who is now valued even more than Rutter.
- Knowing that their roster might be gradually reduced after failing to secure promotion to the Premier League, Leeds United supporters would have been willing to accept the odd exit here and there this summer.
Yet, with Georginio Rutter now expected to head for the exit door for £40m to move to Brighton and Hove Albion, Daniel Farke’s men are set to lose Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville and their sensational Frenchman all in the space of the same catastrophic transfer window.
If they had all left the building gradually, it might have been easier for the Championship promotion contenders to accept this fact, but for devoted Leeds supporters, it will be difficult to accept that all of their best players are suddenly leaving.
The 2023 signing was on display on Wednesday night during Leeds’ crushing League Cup loss to Middlesbrough, but that will probably be his last game at Elland Road.
Reports surfaced that Brighton had exercised Rutter’s £40 million release clause, which was set to expire at midnight on Thursday, just hours after the game had ended. Ever since, Farke has all but confirmed that the attacker is leaving, with the player bidding the team farewell.
