Gabriel Gudmundsson salary revealed as Leeds United strike agreement
Gabriel Gudmundsson appears set to play his football in the Premier League next season, representing Leeds United.
The Elland Road outfit reached an agreement with Lille for the 26-year-old left-back.
They will be paying £10.3million in order to bring the Sweden international to Yorkshire.
Gudmundsson set for £70k/wages at Elland Road
According to Expressen journalist Anel Avdic (7 July), Gudmundsson will sign a four-year contract with the Whites.
He will also be earning wages of £70k once he completes his move to Elland Road.
| Competition | Matches | Goals | Assists | Yellow Cards | Red Cards | Minutes Played |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ligue 1 | 30 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 1,787′ |
| UEFA Champions League | 9 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 485′ |
| UEFA Champions League Qualifying | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 375′ |
| Coupe de France | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 35′ |
| Total 24/25 | 45 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 2,682′ |
The 26-year-old made 137 appearances for Lyon and will finally be parting ways with the French side.
Gudmundsson moved to the Ligue 1 outfit in 2021 from Groningen and has been a regular for them ever since.
Leeds United show intent by handing Gudmundsson four-year contract
Signing Gudmundsson on a four-year contract is a signal of intent from Leeds United.
The hierarchy appear to be showing the Swede that they believe in him to not just help them survive the initial relegation campaign, but actually become an important first-team player in the future.
With Firpo’s exit, it became imperative for the Whites to sign a new left-back.
By reaching an agreement for the 26-year-old, they have done exactly that and hopefully, there are no late snags in the deal.
They’re expected to schedule his medical imminently and by the end of the week, this transfer may even be made official.
Leeds will be hoping that there are no last-minute snags with this deal as clubs tend to enter the race late in the day in case the player is not entirely sure.
