The Whites appear open to sanctioning a permanent sale.
Leeds United could be set to lose one of their senior players next year, with a fresh report revealing that club chiefs have already set their price range.
Leeds’ summer departures
Daniel Farke sanctioned the sales of 15 players over the summer, Tyler Adams, Rodrigo, Tyler Roberts, Adam Forshaw and Joel Robles being the ones to leave on a permanent basis, whilst the remaining ten were sent out on a season-long loan to increase their game time.
The Whites are aware that players like Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto drew a lot of interest during the last transfer window, so there’s a good chance they could be moving in the upcoming months. However, they aren’t the only players who have been connected to leaving.
Maximilian Wober signed with Borussia Monchengladbach in July and stayed with the team until the end of the season, after which they were relegated to the Championship. It’s safe to say that Wober has had an incredible first season as a traveling member of the Bundesliga
With a match rating of 7.04 (WhoScored – Borussia Monchengladbach statistics), the Austrian center back has solidly established himself as Gerardo Seoane’s best-performing player overall thus far this season. The 25-year-old’s form means that his loan club is eager to keep him around next year.
Leeds welcomes the sale of Maximilian Wober
The Yorkshire Evening Post via Fussball News reports that Leeds has set a price for Maximilian Wober.
“Borussia Monchengladbach reportedly know how much they will have to pay if they want to keep Leeds star Max Wober. Much will likely depend on whether the Whites can return to the top flight, but Fussball News have reported a vague asking price.
“They say Monchengladbach will have to pay a ‘low-end double digit figure’ (eight figures) to land Wober permanently amid his comfortable adaption to life with his loan club. Wober only joined Leeds in January.”
Whilst Leeds understandably wanted to get Wober off their wage bill after making the drop down to the second tier, he can be a true “leader” at the heart of a backline, according to former manager Jesse Marsch, so selling him for good may be the wrong decision.
Standing at 6 foot 2, Vienna’s native currently ranks in the 99th percentile for blocks per 90 minutes by players in his position (FBRef – Wober statistics), and he’s made 19 tackles so far this season, which is more than any of his fellow teammates (FBRef – Borussia Monchengladbach statistics), displaying his desire to get stuck in and clear the danger for his team.
