Leeds United CEO Angus Kinnear has responded to criticism from Whites supporters that Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha were undersold this summer.
Phillips joined Premier League champions Manchester City for a fee in the region of £45 million, while Raphinha completed a 'dream move' to Barcelona for a fee of around £55 million. Some Leeds fans feel as though the club were short-changed following the departures. However, Kinnear claims the fees they received for the duo were 'very healthy'.
“There are two things to look at," Kinnear told The Square Ball Podcast. "The first of which is the construction of the fee itself and there are many elements that go into that which are not seen in the headline figure that is reported. Sometimes the headline figure reported isn’t even correct, but when it is, there are elements that supporters can’t see.
