I could return on one condition-says £11 Million Leeds United star

£11 Million Leeds United Star Could Return To Club On One Condition

Maximilian Wöber, a defender on loan from Leeds United, might be on his way back to the Championship team this summer if the Lilywhites are successful in gaining re-admittance to the Premier League.

Following several seasons of collaboration with then-Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch at RB Salzburg, the Austrian international went to Elland Road in January for a reputed £11 million, according to Sky Sports.

 

Leeds, a Yorkshire team, were relegated to the Championship after just three seasons in the English top division, and Wöber’s presence, regrettably, did nothing to stop the ship from sinking.

A condition was added to the defender’s contract when he joined the team nine months ago that allowed him to leave if Leeds United fell to the second division. In the end, the 25-year-old was awarded a loan move to Bundesliga team Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Wöber has won over the Borussia Park faithful, and the team’s director of first-team play, Nils Schmadtke, even suggested that a permanent transfer for the center-back might be in the works.

When questioned by BILD about whether Wöber’s tenure will be prolonged past the loan agreement, Schmadtke responded, “Everything in its own time.”

The former Ajax defender would, however, only sign a long-term contract with Mönchengladbach if Leeds United are unsuccessful in gaining re-promotion to English football’s top division, according to German publication Rheinische Post (via Caught Offside).

If the Lilywhites compete in the 2024–25 Premier League season, Wöber will be compelled to return to Elland Road once his contract in Germany expires.

Given that the board can demand whatever price for Wöber that they feel appropriate for a player of his caliber, Leeds United hold the cards in this situation should the club return to the top division.

However, if they don’t, the parachute payments for the following season would be drastically reduced, which means they might have to sell some players, like Wöber, to raise money so they can acquire more talented players.
