Earlier this year, claims from Germany reported Leeds United are looking at Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Julian Weigl for the summer window.
Two months ago, the midfielder said he’s happy at the Bundesliga club when responding to Leeds’ reported interest.
On April 2nd, Daniel Farke hailed the midfielder as a great player without confirming if the Whites are interested. Later that month, Sky Deutschland journalist Florian Plettenberg stated Leeds United have contacted his camp over a potential move to Elland Road.
Friday’s edition of Rheinische Post covers the Championship winners’ interest in the 29-year-old.
Gladbach need to trim their squad, and the newspaper analyses who could leave in the upcoming window.
The Germany international has played over 3,000 minutes from 35 games this season under Gerardo Seoane’s orders. He’s been a regular under the current manager and also when Farke was in charge of the club.
Rheinische Post state the Leeds manager ‘could lure him’ to Elland Road. Weigl’s contract lasts until 2028 and if he continues, the report claims he’s likely to face tough competition for a place in the starting lineup. This would give Leeds hope of securing his services.
Weigl may be a starter under Farke at Leeds, who secured promotion to the Premier League.
