Full-back Rasmus Kristensen is currently away with Denmark at the European Championships, with the defender still in limbo over his Leeds United future
Leeds United defender Rasmus Kristensen says he is "sometimes ashamed" about the money he earns playing football. The full-back joined the Whites from FC Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2022 for a fee believed to be in the region of £10m.
Kristensen featured 31 times for the Giallorossi during the 2023/24 campaign but it is not yet clear whether the Serie A side will look to sign him on a permanent basis following the appointment of new sporting director Florian Ghisolfi. The 26-year-old is currently with Denmark at the European Championships, helping the Danes reach the last 16 of the tournament. Kristensen was an unused substitute in Denmark's three group stage matches.
When quizzed on his Elland Road salary, Kristensen said in a recent interview with Danish channel TV Midtvest: "It is not me who decides how much money I earn. I am offered a contract, and then I just politely say yes, thank you. But it's crazy that there is so much money in football.Kristensen, thought to be one of United's top earners, added: "I don't really do anything important, and it's hard to say what I actually contribute to society.
