Feyenoord will miss out on any resale profits since Luis Sinisterra is expected to leave Leeds United and join Bournemouth.
On February 8, Dutch media site Voetbal International reported that because Leeds is not profiting from the sale of the Colombian, Feyenoord is not entitled to any compensation.
When they sold the 24-year-old to Leeds, they received £20 million, which is the amount they are essentially recouping from his sale.
Not a bad deal for Leeds United!
The upcoming sale of Sinisterra to Bournemouth for £20 million, without a profit, may not be a financial windfall, but it is a realistic move given his injury history and erratic performances.
Despite his talent, Sinisterra’s time at Elland Road was plagued by fitness issues and a lack of consistent performance on the field.
Furthermore, Sinisterra’s move to Bournemouth has not yet established him as a revolutionary player.
Leeds United already has a strong attacking lineup that includes Dan James, Joel Piroe, Crysencio Summerville, and Goerginio Rutter, so the 24-year-old’s departure frees up resources for the club to focus on boosting other parts of the squad.
While Feyenoord may miss out on potential resale profits, Leeds’ ability to return their initial investment without suffering losses displays prudent financial management.
Prioritising team cohesion and performance over possible resale value is consistent with Leeds’ strategic goals, ensuring they remain competitive in their quest of success.
