Sport nationLeeds United are set to have a busy summer transfer window, with several players returning from loan spells and others potentially leaving the club. One player who could be on the move is defender Max Wober, who has been impressing in the Bundesliga with Borussia Monchengladbach.
According to transfer insider Graeme Bailey, Wober is unlikely to return to Monchengladbach permanently, despite enjoying a good season, due to the club’s inability to match Leeds’ £14.5 million asking price. However, Bailey believes that Wober will have no shortage of suitors in the Bundesliga, with several clubs interested in taking him on loan or even buying him outright.
Wober himself has been tight-lipped about his future, preferring to focus on the upcoming European Championships with Austria. In a recent interview, he stated that he wants to block out any thoughts of his club future until after the tournament, and is solely focused on enjoying the experience of playing in the Euros.
Leeds United will be hoping to sell Wober for a significant fee, given his impressive performances in the Bundesliga. The club are in a stronger position than they were last summer, when they lost several players due to relegation clauses in their contracts. This time around, only two of the six returning loanees are able to leave on loan again, with the others available for sale.
One of the players who could be leaving Leeds is Jack Harrison, who is reportedly set for a move back to Everton. Marc Roca is also expected to leave, with a return to Real Betis all but finalized. Meanwhile, Union Berlin have decided not to make Brenden Aaronson’s stay permanent, leaving Leeds to either sell him or keep him at the club.
The situation with Wober is complicated by Red Bull’s sponsorship of Leeds United, which could potentially see him return to his former club Red Bull Salzburg. However, Wober has stated that he is no longer a good fit for Salzburg’s profile, and is likely to look for a new challenge in the Bundesliga.
Overall, Leeds United’s summer transfer window is shaping up to be a busy one, with several players potentially leaving the club and others arriving. The future of Max Wober is just one of the many storylines that will be playing out over the coming weeks, as the club looks to build a squad capable of challenging for promotion back to the Premier League.
