Leeds United will not be bullied into selling Borussia Monchengladbach loanee Max Wober.
That’s according to a recent report from Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, who claims the Bundesliga side are hoping to sign the defender on a permanent deal at the end of the season.
????? ? News #Wöber: M'Gladbach would like to permanently sign the 26 y/o in the summer because they are completely satisfied with his development!
?? However, the negotiation with Leeds United is very tough / #LUFC
?? Price tag at this stage: €10-12m all-in!

Gladbach’s negotiations with Daniel Farke’s Whites are not straightforward though. The Championship side, who are just eight games away from winning automatic promotion back to the Premier League, are proving a tough outfit to convince.
Believed to be demanding just over £10 million for the out-of-favour German, Leeds United will not budge in their valuation.
What this could mean for Gladbach and Wober remains to be seen, but with top-flight English football a very real possibility next season, maybe the player won’t mind so much if he were forced to return to Yorkshire after all.
