Leeds United have set a £14.5 million price tag on one of their out-on-loan players following a successful season in Europe away from Elland Road.
Victor Orta’s relegation loan provision enabled a number of Leeds players to go without the club being able to prevent it. Eight senior players took advantage, departing Leeds for higher-level clubs.
Rasmus Kristensen and Diego Llorente relocated to Roma, while Max Wober, Brenden Aaronson, and Robin Koch moved to Germany. Marc Roca returned to Spain, while Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra joined the Premier League.
Leeds are optimistic that Wober, Harrison, Roca, and Llorente have done enough to secure permanent transfers, while Koch and Sinisterra have agreed to join loan clubs Frankfurt and Bournemouth.
Kristensen will return to Leeds following an unimpressive term at Roma, while Aaronson’s future is uncertain, having struggled for much of his loan at Union Berlin, who are in danger of relegation in Germany.
An update on Wober’s future has arrived from Germany, with Bild stating that Leeds have set a £14.5 million price tag for the left-footed defender.
Leeds set Max Wober’s price tag, which might yield a nice return.
However, Bild reports that there is a difficulty if his loan side makes a move. Wober has impressed in Germany with Gladbach, but injury has limited the Austrian defender to only 27 games across all competitions.
The defender is unpopular with Leeds supporters after departing the club last summer, despite initial expectations that he would stay. Wober moved to Daniel Farke’s former club as soon as Gladbach expressed interest.
Leeds have set a £14.5 million asking price for him, which is £3.5 million higher than the £11 million cost they spent to recruit him from Salzburg in January 2023. However, Gladbach only wants to pay a maximum of £7.7 million.
What Graeme Bailey told us about Wober’s future in Leeds
So, regardless of how the fans feel about Wober, he might return to Leeds. Graeme Bailey recently told LeedsUnited.News that the fans’ opinions were unlikely to be taken seriously.
So, regardless of how the fans feel about Wober, he might return to Leeds. Graeme Bailey recently told LeedsUnited.News that the fans’ opinions were unlikely to be taken seriously.
He also stated that Wober will be considered by more than just Gladbach, since he impressed during his half-season at Elland Road before the club was relegated to the Championship.
It appears that Leeds will sell him if the 49ers get what they are asking for, but if not, he might be a Leeds player in the future, a player characterized by Jesse Marsch as “intelligent”.
