Finnheim’s 20-year-old French striker Georginho Rutte is close to joining Leeds United in the Premier League, and the transfer fee is between 30 million and 40 million euros.
Kicker reports Rutte was absent from Hoffenheim’s friendly against Wolfsburg on Friday, despite being healthy and even present at the match, but he still did not play.
The reason is that the transfer is imminent and Rutte does not want to take the risk of injury.
His next stop is very likely to be Leeds United. If Leeds United makes a specific offer, the transfer is expected to be completed quickly.
Sky Sports Germany reported that although Leeds United has not officially made a specific offer yet, they are willing to pay a transfer fee between 30 million and 40 million euros.
This figure may become their team history transfer fee record. Their previous signing record was 33 million euros to sign Brandon Aaronson from the Salzburg Red Bull.
Root only joined Hoffenheim from Rennes in February 2021. At that time, Hoffenheim paid a transfer fee of 750,000 euros.
One of the important scorers.
Root has participated in almost all Hoffenheim games this season and has already contributed 8 goals and 4 assists, and his development is far from stopping. His contract with Hoffenheim expires in the summer of 2026.
