I think it's a good thing, any team needs valuable players to stay in the EPL. The amount is a record for Leeds just because they played in the Championship for so long. Different budgets for different leagues.
It will surely make Leeds stronger - https://www.sportsplus.me/team/leeds-united/qGdiGa

Agreed, they should aim to stay in the Premier League, all the money is up there, even parachute payments to relegated teams are huge.
