According to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Georginio Rutter has verbally agreed to join Brighton and Hove Albion after The Seagulls triggered his release clause.
The release clause was going to expire on 14th August at midnight but Brighton made sure to trigger it before the expiry. Now, the French attacker has made a verbal agreement with The Seagulls.
Both the clubs were waiting for Rutter to make his decision before moving further. Now, the player has decided to make a move which is going to be a big shocker for The Whites.
This clause was set in the player’s contract before the new chairman Paraag Marathe took the reins at Elland Road. Daniel Farke too confirmed Rutter’s exit in a press conference.

This is going to be a big hit for Leeds United following Cyrsencio Summerville and Archie Gray. However, the club will still have chances to amend with big fat fees to use in the transfer market.
