leeds united Borussia Monchengladbach have offered €8.5m for defender Nico Elvedi, but the German club are not impressed.
BILD, in their Ruhr-West editionToday we cover Leeds' efforts to sign the 29-year-old and the 'transfer disaster' looming over the German club.
Leeds United €8.5m offer
The newspaper reports that Nico Alvedi's contract with Borussia will only last until next summer. Therefore, to make a good profit on him, director of football Reuven Schröder (50) needs to sell him this summer.
Leeds United are interested in a deal. Daniel Farke previously worked with the Switzerland defender at the German club and is keen on a reunion. Sport Witness has covered various reports About his interest in it.
According to BILD, they have offered €8.5m for the defender so far. This is an offer that is considered 'very low'. It seems that the offer was oral. It was not sent to Schröder in writing. There are no other offers or bidders currently on the table.
borussia's concern
The problem for Gladbach is that it is almost certain that Elvedi will not extend his deal. He wanted to go to the Premier League for a long time. If he can't get it this summer, he will try to move on a free transfer next summer.
Borussia are concerned about the situation. The situation is giving them the eve of 2023. That year they lost stars like Marcus Thuram, Remy Bensebaini and Matthias Ginter. Schröder, for his part, isn't worried about the situation.
He is quoted as saying, "The transfer window is still open for a long time. So a lot can and will happen. At least we are starting to make new signings long before the first big wave."
But the reality may be different from this. Only Leeds United are making a bid, and as far as Schroder and Borussia Monchengladbach are concerned, that bid is not high enough.
