Leeds midfielder fee said to be £7.7 million

Leeds United are said to have made a £7.7 million profit on young midfielder Ronaldo Vieira. The 20-year-old has put pen to paper on a five-year-deal with Italian Serie A club Sampdoria and has arrived back in England for pre-season with his new club. Despite the fee in Italy said to be less, the fee seems to be closer to £8 million.

Vieira started the Leeds game on Sunday as the side ran out 1-0 winners over Las Palmas. Vieira didn’t look comfortable playing the role asked in a 3-3-1-3 formation, a deep lying midfield role but one with a huge demand to make use of the ball. Vieira was subbed at half-time but little did he, or any of us know that would be his last appearence in a Leeds United shirt.

Yesterday morning saw links between Vieira and Sampdoria but interest is what it is, would a bid come in? Yes was the answer, and off Vieira went on a plane, pictured at Genoa airport last night. The next picture of Vieira came this afternoon and it was confirmation he is now on the books of Sampdoria, pictured coming off a plane in his new gear with his new team-mates ahead of two pre-season games at Fulham and at Watford. Vieira has signed a five-year-deal with the Italian club.

The fee was around £6.75 million according to initial reports in Italy but as per the article by Phil Hay the Leeds end are saying they have received a fee of £7.7 million, rising to £10 million, a small consolation for Leeds fans who are bitterly disappointed to see Vieira, like so many before him depart the club at such a young age.
