The Leeds United midfielder has piqued the interest of European heavyweights.
According to The Athletic, European heavyweights Borussia Dortmund expressed interest in signing Leeds United attacker Georginio Rutter during the summer transfer window.
Rutter has overcome his difficult start at Leeds and developed as a crucial player for the club in the Championship.
In seven games this season, he has earned the faith of new boss Daniel Farke, scoring two goals and assisting two others.
However, there were concerns about him in the summer given his troubles in the Premier League in the latter half of last season.
And it has been stated that in the previous transfer window, Bundesliga giants Dortmund expressed an interest in providing him with an exit path from Elland Road.
On behalf of Dortmund, a representative contacted Leeds and inquired about the possibilities of signing Rutter.
He was asked if the forward was interested in leaving Leeds after the club was relegated from the Premier League.
Leeds turned down the proposal because Rutter is a player they have always wanted to keep.
When Farke took over as manager, he also instructed Leeds to turn down any interest in the forward from other clubs.
