Journalist Florian Plettenberg has given an update on the uncertain future of Max Wober at Leeds United, as Borussia Monchengladbach is currently only able to secure the defender on a loan basis in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The decision of Wober to leave Leeds following their relegation had a negative impact on his relationship with the fans. Despite hopes that he would stay last summer, he ultimately chose to depart on loan, causing surprise and disappointment among his teammates.
Leeds is demanding a minimum of £8.5 million for Wober, making it difficult for Monchengladbach to retain him permanently. Plettenberg has indicated that another loan move may be the only option for Wober, which he is aware of.
While Wober’s departure from Leeds seems likely, there are concerns about the impact of a potential loan move without a buyout option. The defender will have to work hard to regain the trust of Leeds fans, a challenge compounded by his previous decision to leave the club.
If Wober remains at Leeds, he could still make a positive impact under Daniel Farke’s management. However, his departure may be necessary for the sake of squad morale. Ultimately, the decision will hinge on various factors, including his wages and potential performance.
Although Plettenberg suggests that Wober is set to leave, Leeds should carefully consider their options and not make it easy for another club to secure his services without a fair deal in place.
