Leeds United defender Max Wober is poised to depart the club before the transfer deadline, according to Football Insider’s sources.
Senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke stated on the current episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast that Woeber is a “strong possibility” to leave Elland Road.
The revelation is a huge U-turn in Woeber’s future, as it was thought that the central defender would stay with the club.
The 26-year-old wants to return to the Bundesliga, and Daniel Farke doesn’t want players who aren’t dedicated to the cause.
Leeds will consider bids for Wober during this transfer window, as he is no longer in Farke’s plans for the next season.
A move is now viewed as ideal for all parties, and the West Yorkshire giants will let him go if they get an appropriate offer.
Leeds United is reducing its losses with Max Wober.
Wober went out on loan last season following Leeds United’s relegation from the Premier League, having spent the previous season with Borussia Monchengladbach.
The central defender was a mainstay for the German club, making 27 appearances across all competitions.
Wober joined the Whites in 2023 but has only made 19 appearances, failing to establish a regular first-team spot.
Wober is under contract at Elland Road until 2027, giving the team a strong negotiation position.
At the opposite end of the pitch, Leeds United are looking to sign a “top-class” forward.
The Whites begin their 2024-25 season at home against Portsmouth on August 10th.
