'Wants to leave' - Leeds United star reportedly close to exit as clubs discuss permanent option

Austrian international defender Wober played no part in Saturday’s pre-season friendly against AS Monaco in York, after which Whites boss Daniel Farke revealed that the 25-year-old did not play due to a 'transfer' situation and ‘also the contract situation.’

Reports then circled that Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach were eyeing a move for the Whites defender and The Athletic are now reporting that Wober is close to joining the German side on loan but that Leeds and Monchengladbach are discussing a permanent option. The Athletic’s report says that Wober has told relegated Leeds that he wants to leave.

Speaking after Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Monaco, Farke said of Wober: “It has to do with the transfer situation and also the contract situation. We will wait what the what the outcome is over next days, but that is the situation."
