Leeds’ Premier League relegation resulted in a number of concerning transfer developments. Not only were they unable to fight for
new players as they had in the past, but they were also unable to prevent important first team players from going out on loan.
One of such was Max Wöber, who left to play for Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga while still maintaining his top flight
standing.
Despite his team having one of the poorest defensive records in the division, Wöber’s loan with the German team seems to be going
well.
Gladbach Live reports that Wöber’s form has been so impressive that it seems like a formality to make his loan permanent. Leeds
signed Wöber from Red Bull Salzburg a little over a year ago for a fee of approximately £10 million.
The amount of money being discussed to keep Wöber at Monchengladbach is yet unknown, but Leeds probably only consented to it
because it benefits them financially.
Leeds won’t want to let him leave for a lowball price after paying £10 million for him 14 months ago, since it would still be a loss even
if some of his contract is eatable.
Regardless of the division the team plays in the following season, if the club is receiving an eight-figure sum for the Austrian, it is a
wise business decision.
Since his value won’t increase significantly from here on out, cashing in to obtain reinvestable funds makes perfect sense.
The possibility that Wöber’s sale will enable us to finance Joe Rodon’s permanent signing is enough to justify it on its own.
