# Leeds: Fresh Jean-Kevin Augustin update emerges

**A further update has emerged regarding [Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/)’s settlement with RB Leipzig over the transfer of Jean-Kevin Augustin.**

### The Lowdown: Leeds statement

The Whites released a [statement](https://twitter.com/apopey/status/1599841770988138496) earlier this week, confirming they have ‘reached an amicable resolution of the dispute’ over the transfer of Augustin.

Leeds agreed on a deal to sign the forward permanently, should the club win promotion to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) in the 2019/20 season.

A dispute has been ongoing ever since, with Leeds’ argument seeming to be the impact of the pandemic on that campaign. Financial details have now been shared on the situation after the club [lost](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-jean-kevin-augustin-leipzig-cas-b2217686.html) their appeal with The Court of Arbitration for Sport.

### The Latest: Update

[LeedsLive](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/further-details-emerge-over-leeds-25694582) relayed an update from [Bild](https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/rb-leipzig/jean-kevin-augustin-wie-leeds-sich-mit-rb-leipzig-geeinigt-hat-82172202.bild.html) with ‘further details’ on Leeds and Leipzig’s settlement.

They claimed that the Whites will pay the full €21m fee, as well as €340,000 in interest for Augustin, however, Leipzig are reported to have been ‘accommodating with the payment modalities’, suggesting it can be paid in instalments.

### The Verdict: Bad news

Some may have seen Leeds’ statement earlier in the week and thought that the two clubs could have struck a deal below the full €21m fee.

However, that isn’t the case and it seems to have been confirmed that Leipzig will eventually receive the full amount.

That will only come as bad news for Andrea Radrizzani and the 49ers Enterprises, with Augustin only playing [48](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jean-kevin-augustin/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/264956) minutes for Leeds and now on the books at FC Basel, where he holds a mere €1.5m [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jean-kevin-augustin/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/264956) valuation.
