Ever since Elia Caprile was sold by Leeds United to Bari in Serie B, there have been multiple claims that the Whites would get a percentage of a future transfer.

This was said to be around 50% by the local media at the time, which the low cost of the initial transfer worth it, as the belief was the goalkeeper would develop nicely.

There was near immediate hope for Leeds that this would be fruitful after some great performances this season, but Corriere del Mezzogiorno shed some doubts on it all on Thursday.

Looking at the situation of Bari’s two main assets, Walid Cheddira and the young shot stopper, they make it clear Parma have 50% of a future sale for the striker.

However, when it comes to Leeds and Caprile, it’s said that ‘there has been talk of a percentage to be donated’ to the Elland Road side down the line ‘for a long time’, but ‘the issue has never been fully clarified’.

Now, whether they mean how much they will be due or whether there is a percentage at all isn’t said, but there appears to be some doubts as to how much money Leeds can make from a future sale.

As they say, it’s something that needs to be clarified.
