Leeds United are concerned about the possibility of Brighton reigniting their interest in Georginio Rutter, following the sale of Deniz Undav for a whopping £28 million, as reported by the Sunday People.
There are fears that the Seagulls may come back with a new offer after their initial bid of £30 million was turned down earlier in the transfer window. With the funds acquired from Undav’s sale to Stuttgart, Brighton could potentially make a second attempt to lure Rutter away.
After parting ways with Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray, Leeds will be determined to hold on to their other key players. The presence of Rutter in the starting lineup for the match against Portsmouth indicates that he could remain at Elland Road amidst transfer speculation.
However, if Brighton comes back with an irresistible offer, a transfer for Rutter may become more likely. His impressive performances last season have attracted attention from top-flight clubs, including those in the Premier League.
Losing Rutter would be a significant blow to Leeds as his impact on the team cannot easily be replaced. While there are players like Brenden Aaronson in the squad, they may not offer the same qualities as the talented Frenchman, leaving Daniel Farke’s team in a weaker position if a transfer were to occur.
