Leeds United Loan Defender Max Wober to Werder Bremen

Leeds United have agreed to loan defender Max Wober to Werder Bremen for the upcoming season, with Bremen likely having an option to buy him permanently. Wober, who struggled with injuries and limited playing time at Leeds, made just eight appearances last season as Leeds secured the Championship title. Leeds view the loan deal as beneficial for their profitability and squad restructuring, especially after signing new defenders Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw. Bornauw, a 26-year-old Belgian centre-back signed from Wolfsburg, adds experience and physicality to Leeds' defense as they prepare for their Premier League return. Meanwhile, talks continue between Leeds and Bremen for a permanent transfer of Wober, with reports indicating an agreement could be reached soon for a low single-digit million fee. Wober's transfer aligns with Leeds' efforts to reshape their squad under manager Daniel Farke ahead of the demanding Premier League campaign.
