Leeds United could be set for a €21million blow following their dispute with RB Leipzig over Jean-Kevin Augustin. According to German publication BILD, Leipzig are ‘eagerly awaiting’ the outcome from the International Court of Arbitration for Sport CAS.
The report claims the Bundesliga side have already spent the €21m they are owed after they ‘commissioned legal opinion’ on the case and have been told there is ‘a high probability of a positive verdict’. The case has been ongoing since the 2020 season, with Leeds disputing a clause in Augustin's loan.
The French striker arrived at Elland Road with the club reportedly having the option to buy him on a permanent deal. However, the Bundesliga side claimed this was an obligation to buy, with Leeds claiming extenuating circumstances could nullify the deal.
