Leeds’ Rodrigo leaves to join Qatari side Al-Rayyan


Leeds United has officially
confirmed the transfer of their former club record signing, Rodrigo, to Qatari team Al-Rayyan.

The Spanish forward was acquired by Leeds for a fee of £27 million from Valencia in 2020, shortly after the club’s promotion to the Premier League.

Rodrigo signed a four-year contract with the club.

During his time at Leeds, the 32-year-old made 97 appearances across all competitions and found the back of the net 28 times.

A statement on the Leeds website said: “We thank Rodrigo for his efforts and wish him all the best for the future.”

Rodrigo’s departure to the Qatar Stars League comes as relegated Leeds prepare for next season in the Sky Bet Championship under new manager Daniel Farke.

The summer transfer window has already seen defenders Diego Llorente and Robin Koch and midfielder Brenden Aaronson leave United on season-long loans, joining Roma, Eintracht Frankfurt and Union Berlin respectively.
