Leeds Agree Fee for Nico Elvedi as He Travels to England for Medical
The move would add an experienced World Cup centre-back to Daniel Farke's squad if medicals, paperwork and a linked loan for Sebastiaan Bornauw are completed.
Overview
- Clubs have reportedly agreed a fee package worth an initial £6.8 million plus £1.7 million in add-ons, commonly reported as an £8.5 million total.
- Nico Elvedi, 29, is said to be travelling to England for a medical after 11 years and 364 appearances for Borussia Mönchengladbach and 73 caps for Switzerland.
- Leeds manager Daniel Farke warned that the transfer is not final until medical checks and paperwork are complete and said he expects movement soon.
- The deal is conditional on arranging an outgoing move for Sebastiaan Bornauw, with reports linking Bornauw to an initial loan to Hamburg that would free a squad place.
- If completed, the signing would give Leeds an experienced, ready-made centre-back who can provide immediate cover and leadership at the back while preserving options elsewhere in the squad.
