Update emerges regarding future of £10m Leeds United player
Right now, Max Wober is playing on loan for Borussia Monchengladbach.
Given the circumstances surrounding his summer departure, Max Wober’s future at Leeds United is questionable. It is unlikely that he will play for the team again.Wober has been playing well for Borussia Mönchengladbach while he is currently on loan from the German team.It will be challenging for Wober to be reintegrated into the team next summer because Leeds and Borussia Mönchengladbach were unable to come to an agreement on a permanent fee.
No permanent fee has been agreed between Leeds United and Borussia Mönchengladbach for Max Wober.
The Athletic claims that after his loan term expires, the defender may rejoin the Yorkshire team at the end of the campaign.
However, given the circumstances surrounding his summer departure, it seems unlikely that the Austrian would play for the team again.
Wober left once Leeds was demoted to the Championship, even though he had only signed a £10 million contract in the January transfer window.
The 25-year-old had first informed Leeds that he was prepared to stay at Elland Road into the summer, but as the German club’s interest became apparent, he pushed for a transfer.
What is the latest Max Wober news?
Borussia Mönchengladbach is now in ninth place in the Bundesliga standings after Wober has participated in 11 of the team’s games thus far this season.
In an attempt to increase his chances of representing Austria in the 2024 European Championship, which will take place in the summer of 2024, the defender made the decision last summer.
It is thought that the way he left the team damaged their connection, which makes it unlikely that he will ever suit up for the Whites again.
This will make it challenging to reintegrate him into the team when he returns to Elland Road in the summer of next year.
As part of the defender’s loan move, a permanent fee was discussed with Mönchengladbach, but no agreement was struck.
Wober has established himself as a consistent starter for the German team, and they are reportedly pleased with his level of play thus far.
It is unclear, though, if the two clubs can work out a contract to keep him with the Bundesliga team after his initial loan period.
Wober played in 16 league games for Leeds during the previous season before the squad was relegated to the Championship.

Leeds is currently eight points from of the automatic promotion spots in the Championship table, sitting third in the standings under Daniel Farke.
Before the November international break, the Whites had won their previous three league games, which had allowed them to close the gap on both Ipswich Town and Leicester City.
Leeds wants to return to the top division on their first try, thus they’re shooting for a top two finish.
On November 24, Farke’s team will play again when they go to Rotherham United, a rival team from Yorkshire that is now ranked 22nd. Leeds may be able to get past this fiasco if they are able to recover their £10 million investment in the player. Considering that he was only with the team for six months, his entrance has been a huge letdown. But if his time in Germany goes well, it might assist to preserve or even increase his worth, which could open the door to selling him this summer. Although the player and the club might have a chance to patch things up if they are promoted to the Premier League, selling in the summer seems to be the smartest course of action at the moment.How much is Max Wober worth?
