Leeds United are now leading Wolves for another defender
This month, Leeds is interested in Switzerland’s Nico Elvedi, even though he still plays frequently for Gladbach. a footballer who joined the Bundesliga team in 2015 and has made an incredible 312 appearances.
Daniel Farke, who managed Gladbach for 12 months between June 2022 and June 2023 before moving to Elland Road in the summer of 2023, would be reunited with Elvedi if Leeds made the transfer.
Leeds is reportedly ahead of Wolves in the competition to recruit Gladbach’s Elvedi, according to a report from TeamTalk. Although the transfer is expected to cost £10 million, there is a complication that could keep a deal from happening this month.

Leeds may have to wait until the summer for Nico Elvedi
While Elvedi prefers Leeds to Wolves, The Whites may have to wait until the summer because the player is unwilling to drop into the Championship. It means that promotion is required before action can be taken. A player compared to John Stones by the Bundesliga website, Elvedi will also want to remain at Gladbach as he closes in on overtaking Yann Sommer at the top of the list of appearances for a foreign player. Indeed, he’s only a handful of game shy of reaching the top 10 of Gladbach’s all-time appearance makers. So, Leeds are leading the race to sign a player in Elvedi who is top-tier standard, but will have to wait
