Leeds United's court case with RB Leipzig over Jean-Kevin Augustin reportedly adjourned again

Leeds United's court case with RB Leipzig over the €21m the Bundesliga side claim they are owed for striker Jean-Kevin Augustin has reportedly been adjourned again. German publication BILD, claim RB Leipzig are still awaiting a decision which could now come in November.

The International Court of Arbitration for Sport CAS has adjourned the case again with a decision originally expected in September this year. Leeds are still in dispute over a clause in Augustin's loan, dating back to the 2020 season.

The French striker arrived at Elland Road with the club reportedly having the option to buy him on a permanent deal. However, the Bundesliga side claimed this was an obligation to buy, with Leeds claiming extenuating circumstances could nullify the deal.

After an oral hearing, the case has been with the CAS since March this year after FIFA had previously ruled in RB's favour in June 2021, to which Leeds had appealed. All three installments of the €21m that Leipzig claim they are owed, had been due to be paid by October this year, but they're set to be overdue, meaning the Bundesliga club could be owed 340,000 euros in default interest.
