Player now on verge of leaving Leeds United – ‘Only details’ need finalising for January exit.
At the weekend, Salzburger Nachrichten reported Red Bull Salzburg are keen to sign Leeds United’s Maximilian Wöber in January.
On Tuesday, Kurier stated the defender had already wanted to leave Leeds for the Austrian club in the summer window.
This report surfaced after Red Bull Salzburg managing director of sport Rouven Schröder didn’t rule out a move for the 26-year-old.
Wednesday’ edition Salzburger Nachrichten states the centre-back’s arrival in Salzburg is ‘taking
He arrived at Elland Road in January 2023, after spending over three years at Red Bull Salzburg. The Austria international has lost prominence under Daniel Farke this season, partly due to an injury, and has been limited to 100 minutes of action from three games.

It’s claimed the negotiations are advancing and ‘only details need to be finalised’. These details aren’t mentioned, but this indicates concrete progress has been made for him to leave the Whites.
The newspaper states Wöber’s asking price shouldn’t be an issue for Red Bull Salzburg, given Leeds United are also willing to sell him next month.
Ben Parker says Leeds United teen was ‘brilliant’ on Tuesday night, Elland Road gem showed ‘maturity beyond his years’.
Leeds United’s U21 side propelled themselves to the top of their National League Cup group with a draw against Halifax Town on Tuesday night, securing an extra point with a penalty-shootout win.
Scott Gardner’s side had won their previous two National League Cup games against Boston United and Gateshead and on Tuesday night, they went to Halifax to take on the 10th-placed National League side.
Gardner named a strong side that included the likes of Reuben Lopata-White, Alfie Cresswell and Rhys Chadwick. Leeds took the lead twice thanks to goals from Chadwick and the returning Joe Snowdon.
But, Halifax pulled Leeds back on two occasions including a late 95th-minute equaliser from Jack Senior. That saw both sides earn a point – but in this competition, clubs can win another point on penalties.
