Payment has been made by Leeds United to RB Leipzig as a line is drawn under the two-year-long Jean-Kevin Augustin saga. Last month, Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled the Whites must honour their €21m agreement with the German club for the French striker.
While United’s statement on the resolution does not even mention financial terms, it’s clear an agreement has been reached on the eight-figure sum given the backing Leipzig had through arbitration. The original agreement in 2020 was for three separate instalments, but it’s unclear if the Bundesliga outfit have agreed to such a payment plan now.
A Whites statement said: “Leeds United and RB Leipzig are pleased to announce they have reached an amicable resolution of the dispute between the clubs, further details of which are confidential to the parties.”
