Brenden Aaronson’s move to the Premier League is official.
Leeds United announced the signing of the 21-year-old former Philadelphia Union homegrown from Medford, N.J. on Thursday to a five-year deal that will be completed on July 1.
Though the transfer fee to acquire him from Red Bull Salzburg wasn’t disclosed by the club, it’s been reported at $30 million. This means the Union will get an additional $5 million from the sell-on fee negotiated as part of his transfer to Salzburg to bring the total windfall from his sale to $14 million, according to Tom Bogert of MLSSoccer.
