Christian Keller, the sports director for Koln, is confident that Dejan Ljubicic is staying committed to the club despite transfer interest from Leeds United. The Austria international had hoped to make the move to Elland Road during the transfer window, but the deal was blocked by 2. Bundesliga.
Although Ljubicic was frustrated by this setback, Keller reassured fans that the 26-year-old is focused on the season ahead with Koln. He praised Ljubicic for his dedication to the team and his determination to perform well this season.
Leeds United had been keen on Ljubicic as a replacement for Glen Kamara, but ultimately signed Ao Tanaka instead. While the Japanese midfielder has impressed fans at Elland Road, it is unclear if Leeds will revisit their interest in Ljubicic in the future.
Despite the missed opportunity to join Leeds, Ljubicic remains committed to Koln for the time being. Fans may have missed out on seeing him in a Leeds shirt, but they can still expect great things from him in the Bundesliga this season.
