Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United have made a bid of €30 million (£26.50 million) for Hoffenheim forward Georginio Rutter, according to L’Equipe.

The report has claimed that Leeds have made Rutter a priority target in the January transfer window.

And the Premier League club have offered €30 million (£26.50 million) in transfer fees to German club Hoffenheim for the 20-year-old France Under-21 international forward.

Could Leeds United sign Georginio Rutter from Hoffenheim?

In our opinion, Leeds United could be able to sign Georginio Rutter from Hoffenheim in the January transfer window.

A bid of €30 million (£26.50 million) is quite substantial when you consider that Rutter is only 20.

True, Hoffenheim may not want to lose any of their players in the middle of the season, but money talks.

Moreover, the French youngster himself could be tempted to make the move to Leeds.

Leeds are a big club, and the Premier League is the richest and most-watched domestic league in the would.

The young striker has made 11 starts and four substitute appearances in the Bundesliga for Hoffenheim so far this season.

Rutter has scored two goals and given two assists in those games.
