# Leeds United: Whites set to ‘complete’ Georginio Rutter move

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) look set to ‘complete a move’ for Hoffenheim forward Georginio Rutter, according to Transfermarkt reporter [Stefan Bienkowski](https://twitter.com/sbienkowski/status/1611721569386254337?s=46&t=CPCc8K-rcgOreqnst5XRRg).**

### The Lowdown: Rutter linked with Leeds

The Whites appear to have turned their attention to the 20-year-old after [completing the signing](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/30787/leeds-united-complete-max-wober-deal) of Max Wober earlier this week.

Sky Sports reporter [Florian Plettenberg](https://twitter.com/plettigoal/status/1611695360585465856?s=46&t=gAKBJ5_FpxNOUs1FzD7giA) shared news ofthe club’s interest in Rutter, with the French forward seemingly open to a move to Elland Road. It looks as if a potential transfer is gathering pace nicely, with a big-money deal now firmly on the cards.

### The Latest: Move set to be completed

[Bienkowski](https://twitter.com/sbienkowski/status/1611721569386254337?s=46&t=CPCc8K-rcgOreqnst5XRRg) took to Twitter on Saturday afternoon to share what he’s heard about Rutter and Leeds, citing an update from colleague [Daniel Busch](https://twitter.com/dan_bu).

The reporter said that ‘Rutter is set to complete a move to Leeds’, with a ‘deal worth between €30-€40m’, which amounts to somewhere in the region of £26.4m-£35.2m.

### The Verdict: Record signing?

Brenden Aaronson is Leeds’ most expensive signing of all time, arriving last summer from Red Bull Salzburg for €32.84m (£29m), as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/transferrekorde/verein/399).

Therefore, it appears as if there is a real possibility that an agreement for Rutter surpasses that figure, which would be a real statement of intent from Victor Orta and the Elland Road hierarchy.

Providing that a move goes through, you’d expect that [Jesse Marsch](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/jesse-marsch/) will be looking at the 20-year-old to make an immediate impact, providing some much-needed centre-forward competition to Rodrigo, with Patrick Bamford’s [injury troubles](https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiiw9fFubj8AhXUgVwKHS8dAOgQFnoECA8QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leeds-live.co.uk%2Fsport%2Fleeds-united%2Fleeds-united-news-patrick-bamford-25890188&usg=AOvVaw3bHmhgkCKPC9QF8nmkuYj4) failing to show any signs of improvement.
