From the source

Leeds United have spent years trying to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level, but the club’s history includes difficult decisions involving players who grew up at Thorp Arch.

For academy graduates, reaching the first team can represent years of work, sacrifice and patience. Leaving that environment, especially without having planned an exit, can be difficult to accept.

Ronaldo Vieira experienced that uncertainty in 2018. The midfielder had progressed through Leeds’ academy and earned his chance with the senior side, yet his future changed when the club decided to sell him.
