According to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, Leeds United are preparing a significant bit for Austrian left-back Max Wober. Wober would fill a gap in the squad that the Whites have struggled with for some time, leaving a striker as the main remaining gap in the squad.<\/p>\n

Leeds United Preparing Bid for Max Wober<\/h2>\n

Who is Max Wober?<\/h3>\n

Max Wober is a major player in RB Salzburg’s current structure. The 24-year-old is the captain at the Austrian Bundesliga club, having joined from Sevilla in 2019 for a reported fee of around \u00a310.5 million. The young wing-back has earned 81 appearances for the side since then, scoring five and bringing a lot of leadership to the squad.<\/p>\n

The Austrian has played the vast majority of his football at left-back this season, but in the same ilk as Pascal Struijk has plenty of experience at centre-back. Signing Wober means that the back line will have even more flexibility than before.<\/p>\n

What Does the Bid Look Like?<\/h3>\n

The bid is a fairly simple one. An initial fee of around \u00a39.5 million is in place, with the potential for approximately \u00a34.5 million of add-ons depending on the club and player’s performance.<\/p>\n

Since Victor Orta joined the club, his transfer business is questionable in some cases. However, signing Wober at such a cut price in a vital position would be a great show of intention for Leeds United in the market.<\/p>\n

What Business Do Leeds Have Left?<\/h3>\n

In spite of filling this gap, Elland Road is likely to stay busy throughout the window. Cody Drameh<\/a> is a player that a lot of clubs have an interest in, with Mateusz Klich also on the receiving end of interest from DC United.<\/p>\n

In terms of incomings, Leeds United remain in the hunt for a centre-forward, with Patrick Bamford dealing with unending injuries and Rodrigo occasionally struggling with poor form.<\/p>\n
