Leeds United defensive squad transfers

Overview

Leeds United is undergoing defensive squad changes involving potential transfers between the Premier League and the Bundesliga.

Defender Sebastiaan Bornauw is nearing a move to Hamburg. While initial reports suggested a permanent transfer, recent developments indicate an agreement has been reached for a loan deal, which may include an option to purchase estimated at approximately 5 million euros. The 27-year-old Belgian is expected to undergo medical examinations shortly, marking a return to the Bundesliga after a period of limited playing time at Leeds, where he appeared in only 17 matches last season.

To address the vacancy left by Bornauw, Leeds is working to secure Borussia Mönchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi. The 29-year-old Swiss international has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with Leeds, potentially on a contract through 2029. While club-to-club negotiations regarding a transfer fee are still ongoing, Borussia Mönchengladbach is reportedly open to a sale. The move would reunite Elvedi with manager Daniel Farke, who previously coached him during the 2022/23 season.
