Leeds seal PSR loan deal for Max Wober, agreement reached

Max Wober will be leaving Leeds United in the summer transfer window on a season-long loan deal.

Allowing the Austrian to leave on loan is something that suits the Whites’ PSR situation rather than a permanent sale.

The 27-year-old spent last season on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach and was a regular in the Bundesliga.

Werder Bremen set to sign Wober on loan

According to the Athletic’s Beren Cross (4 July), an agreement has been struck with Werder Bremen for the centre-back.

With his current book value at £4.8million, a sale below that would have harmed the Whites’ projections.

Wober’s stats.

His contract at Leeds runs out in the summer of 2027 but Bremen are understood to be given the option to buy him.

Thus, it is likely that the 31-cap Austria international may not play another game for the Elland Road outfit again.

Leeds United are better off without Wober in the side

Leeds United are better off without Wober and Werder Bremen covering his salary for the 2025/26 season is a significant financial relief.

The Austrian defender struggled during his 28 appearances for Leeds in 2022/23, scoring once but failing to provide defensive stability, with the team conceding 78 goals in the Premier League.

His limited impact at Sevilla and inconsistent performances across clubs like Ajax and Borussia Monchengladbach highlight his inability to adapt to high-pressure environments.

With Leeds aiming for promotion, players like Jaka Bijol, Pascal Struijk and Joe Rodon offer greater reliability and potential.

Bremen’s loan deal, likely covering his entire weekly wages, frees up funds for the Whites to target a proven option.

This move allows Daniel Farke to build a stronger, more cohesive defence to avoid relegation.
