Leeds United set for annual eight-figure windfall | OneFootball

The Whites could be set to earn around £10m per year still, despite the fact they remain in the Championship.

Leeds United are still set to earn a considerable amount of money from their deal with Adidas after missing out on promotion.

According to Football Insider, they are still set to make around £10m per year from the deal with their shirt manufacturer, after recently putting pen to paper on a fresh deal with the brand.

The Whites are always likely to attract big brands and that's what they have been able to do in recent times, especially after the 49ers came in.

Not only do Red Bull feature on the West Yorkshire side's shirt, but they also hold a minority stake in the club, and their contributions could potentially help to take the club to the next level.

Red Bull have a wide-ranging sports portfolio, having a Formula 1 team that's one of the most successful in the world and also being involved in a number of football teams across the world.

RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig are big players in the top tiers of their respective countries - and that's an aim that Leeds will want to achieve too.

Their stadium expansion plans look set to make Elland Road the seventh-biggest stadium in the country - and the Whites will want their high off-field ambitions to be matched by high-quality performances on the pitch.

Currently, they are in a fairly good position to kick on and potentially secure a Premier League return at the second time of asking.

However, they may need to continue investing in their squad during the January window, and every bit of income for them will help their cause during that upcoming period.

Leeds United set for £10m yearly windfall

The Whites first signed a deal with Adidas back in 2020, putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.

And the two parties put pen to paper on an extension earlier this week.

With Leeds back in the Championship now, it was previously unclear how much the West Yorkshire side was going to earn from this deal.

But Football Insider have reported that the club are still set to earn around £10m per year from this deal, potentially depending on whether they can meet certain conditions.

With this in mind, not all of the £10m is likely to be guaranteed, but they are still set to earn a decent amount from this deal and could still earn the entire amount.

The Whites have a very strong team at this point.

However, more can be done in January and their business in the winter could aid their promotion push, with the Adidas money likely to help them.

Quite a few of their positions have already been sufficiently addressed, but there are still a couple of positions that may need to be looked at.

Their centre-back area will need to be looked at if Ethan Ampadu is needed in midfield when he returns.

The central midfield department may also need looking at despite the arrival of Josuha Guilavogui.
