  • FC St. Gallen lets full-back Isaac Schmidt move to Leeds.
  • One day before his transfer, the 24-year-old scored an important goal for the Espen in the Conference League qualifiers.
  • The transfer is expected to bring at least four million euros into St. Gallen’s club coffers. President Matthias Hüppi simply says: “In economic terms, this is probably the most significant transfer in the history of our club.”

Since his move from Lausanne-Sport in the summer of 2021, Schmidt has played 108 competitive matches for the Eastern Swiss club, scoring seven goals. The Vaudois player scored his most valuable goal on Thursday with the 1-0 lead in Trabzon, paving the way for FCSG to reach the league phase in the Conference League.

Those responsible at Leeds and St. Gallen have agreed not to disclose the terms of the contract for the transfer to England. “In economic terms, this is probably the most significant transfer in the history of our club,” said President Matthias Hüppi in the statement. According to “Blick,” the transfer fee is likely to be around 4 million euros and could rise to up to 5.5 million through bonuses.

Schmidt signed a four-year contract in England that runs until the summer of 2028, his new club announced. At Leeds United, Schmidt will be a teammate of former FCZ striker Wilfried Gnonto. The traditional club from the northern English county of Yorkshire is aiming for promotion to the Premier League with German coach Daniel Farke.

Stilz: “Of course, the departure hurts us”

Sporting director Roger Stilz said of the move: “Of course, we are saddened by Isaac’s departure so close to the end of the transfer window, but this move to England is a great opportunity for him. But most importantly, Isaac has earned this move with his performance and commitment. We would like to thank him for his great commitment to Green-White.”
