Borussia Mönchengladbach need a ‘low double-digit million’ fee to sign Maximilian Wöber permanently from Leeds United this summer, something which means a deal is not guaranteed.
That’s according to Kicker, relayed by Fussball News, who a permanent stay for the Leeds loanee is ‘by no means guaranteed’ at this point.
Wöber is currently on loan with the German side after taking advantage of a clause in his contract at Elland Road that allowed him to leave temporarily following relegation.
He’s been a big hit at Gladbach since his arrival, establishing himself as a key player in their defence and earning rave reviews from fans and pundits alike.
Kicker now follow that up and say another potential impediment to the deal is the figure that Leeds would want for Wöber.
According to them, it would take ‘a transfer fee in the low double-digit million range’ for to convince Leeds into a sale.
They paid €12m to sign Wöber from RB Salzburg in the January transfer window so it’s easy to imagine they’d want at least that to let him go next summer.
Whatever the figure, it is seemingly one that Gladbach have doubts about paying, although it’s not clear if they think it’s too much or just don’t have the money to do the deal.
Either way, it seems there are plenty of doubts about whether Wöber will end up in Gladbach permanently once his loan deal comes to an end.
