CAS to hear RB Leipzig vs Leeds United case over Jean-Kevin Augustin next week

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has announced the hearing date of RB Leipzig vs Leeds United over the transfer of Jean-Kevin Augustin will take place on Tuesday 15 March.

Kicker, the legal dispute is essentially whether Premier League side Leeds United have to pay RB Leipzig a transfer fee after signing the Frenchman on loan with an obligation to buy for €21m should they be promoted to the top flight.

However, because the Premier League season finished beyond June 30th due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Leeds United declared the agreement as null and avoid. It’s worth noting that FIFA agree with RB Leipzig in this case, which Leeds United then contacted CAS.
