Club change plan for Leeds man despite ‘clear’ transfer desire – Suggestion fee forcing them to back out
The Rheinische Post reported two months ago that Maximilian Wöber, who is presently on loan from Leeds United, is being pursued by Borussia Mönchengladbach despite their financial difficulties.
German reports that the Bundesliga team has a “clear” strategy to keep the defender and will shortly begin negotiations with the Whites were covered by us on February 29. The price of the deal was also mentioned.
The German team’s intentions to reorganise their roster for the upcoming campaign are discussed in this week’s SportBild, where the player owned by Leeds is mentioned.
With a focus on developing players from home, Mönchengladbach intends to make a number of substantial changes to the squad. They will need to raise money in order to accomplish this, and selling some of their present players is one method to do it.
Jordan Siebatcheu, who is presently on loan from Austria, will reportedly be kept by waiving his €5 million purchase option. It is “unlikely to stay,” nevertheless, that the 26-year-old defender stay.
This suggests Gladbach has reversed course after previously expressing a strong desire to hang onto the defender.

He got the better of Plymouth Argyle in the fourth round tie with a fantastic goal, then set Mateo Joseph up for two lovely assists in the Chelsea loss.
Farke will have another solid option to use him off the bench with his presence in the squad, and perhaps he can contribute to the final push.
