Leeds United can confirm Georginio Rutter has joined Brighton & Hove Albion in a permanent transfer, after the Premier League side activated an exit clause in his contract.
The 22-year-old forward joined the Whites in January 2023 from Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim for a club record fee.
Every effort was made to keep Georginio at Elland Road despite his exit clause being activated, but he was persistent and adamant in his desire to leave and we respect his decision.
Georginio now departs Leeds United having made a total of 66 appearances, scoring eight goals over an 18-month spell.
We would like to place on record our thanks to Georgie for his efforts both on and off the pitch, along with his exemplary attitude and professionalism during his time at the club.
We wish him all the very best for the future.
