Leeds United are expecting to sell players this summer with another Championship campaign on the horizon and Georginio Rutter has spoken for the first time about that pain and his future
Inconsolable and teary Georginio Rutter will be one of the abiding memories of Leeds United’s 2024 disappointment. The French forward took last month’s Championship play-off final badly and he seems keen on crossing paths with Whites supporters again in the near future.
In his first comments since the loss to Southampton at Wembley, Rutter addressed fans on his Instagram profile. Rutter thanks for the backing he and his team-mates have had since last August and indicated he will see them all soon. “Hello, Leeds fans,” he said. “A few days have passed, but still as much disappointment. The objective was not achieved despite a superb season, where each of us gave our maximum. Thank you for your support throughout the year, see you soon.”There are another four years to run on the contract Rutter signed when he completed the most expensive transfer in the club’s history last year.
Chairman Paraag Marathe has conceded sales will need to be made this summer in order for the club to remain compliant with profit and sustainability rules. Rutter was one of United’s best performers last season, but given United committed in the region of £35m to his arrival, breaking even or making a profit on that fee would be a tall order.
The Leeds fanbase will hope Rutter’s indication he will see them soon is a commitment to making another go of this with Daniel Farke next season.
