Deal Confirm: Leeds United Has Offer Patrick Bamford For $50 Million In A Swap Deal With……………………..read more.
Leeds United defender Maximilian Wober has finally come clean over his feelings to still be at Elland Road after a summer of speculation over his future and amid strong claims he was desperate to leave Elland Road, while Patrick Bamford has been told why he is fortunate to not have been sold by the Whites this summer.
Daniel Farke and Co were forced to ride out a difficult summer having missed out on promotion last season on two fronts, with their play-off final heartache ultimately leading to the sales of Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter. Those three sales, combined with a plethora of other departures that saw 16 players in total depart the club, saw Leeds United rake in an astonishing £140m through sales.
One player, though, who did surprisingly remain was Austian defender Wober.
The 26-year-old moved to Elland Road in January 2023 in a £10.1m (€12m / $13.3m) move from Red Bull Salzburg and generally equipped himself well despite being unable to prevent the club tumbling out of the Premier League just four months after his arrival.
Like so many Leeds players, Wober’s deal at Elland Road had a clause in it allowing him to depart on loan and, despite previously expressing his loyalty to their promotion cause, the 28-times capped Austria defender upset Farke by going against his word and signing instead for Borussia Monchengladbach on a season-long loan.
Wober played 27 times for the Bundesliga side, who had made clear their wish to tie him down to a permanent deal.
