Finally: Leeds agree permanent Kristensen sale
Leeds United right-back Rasmus Kristensen looks to be finally leaving the club for good with a permanent agreement in place.
Loan clauses riddled the club with frustrating transfer developments since the 49ers took over, inheriting a host of players free to leave after relegation without a fee.
Rasmus Kristensen was one of those, eager to jump ship after a poor season in the Premier League, and has done so two seasons in a row, now at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Eintracht Frankfurt agree permanent Kristensen signing
The Dane is someone many at Elland Road had virtually forgotten about, but he has enjoyed a solid season in the Bundesliga with Eintracht.
So much so that Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg has now revealed that the German outfit have agreed the permanent signing of Kristensen from Leeds:
As shared above, the initial fee agreed between Leeds and Eintracht is around £5million, and rising to £6.62million with add-ons too.
The deal is claimed to not be totally signed and sealed yet, but will be in the coming weeks, akin to how Leeds thrashed out an early sale of Luis Sinisterra to Bournemouth last season.
In terms of PSR, Kristensen’s £10million arrival at Leeds was amortised over five seasons, meaning his book value will have dropped £2million per season, and is likely around the £4million mark now with just over two years left on his deal – therefore an upfront fee of £5million won’t represent a loss for Leeds here.
