Leeds United Paying Portion Of Helder Costa’s Wages During Valencia Loan - Inside Futbol 31/8/21
Leeds United will pay half of Helder Costa’s wages during his loan stint with Valencia, who have reached an agreement over the winger’s transfer.
The arrival of Daniel James from Manchester United opened up
the possibility of a loan move for Costa in the final hours of the transfer
window.
Sheffield United, as well as clubs in Spain and Turkey, were
interested in signing the 27-year-old, but Valencia appear to have won the race
for him.
Leeds and Valencia are claimed to have reached an agreement
over the loan transfer of the former Wolves star just in time.
According to Spanish radio station Tribuna Deportiva, the
Whites will pay a portion of Costa’s wages during his time on loan at Valencia.
The winger is said to be earning €3m per year at Elland Road
and Leeds will continue to pay half of it during his time away.
There have been suggestions that Leeds want a loan fee to
sanction Costa’s move to Valencia, but it remains to be seen if they are
receiving a sum.
Valencia have been claimed to want an option to make the
move permanent in their agreement with Leeds and it is unclear whether the
Whites were prepared to agree to that.
