Maximilian Wöber is reportedly close to returning to the Bundesliga, where he spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

According to Sky Germany and Bild, Werder Bremen have reached an agreement to sign the centre-back from Leeds United for a low single-digit million fee.

Wöber is expected to undergo a medical and sign a contract until 2029 within the next few days.

The 27-year-old Austria international was limited to just nine appearances for Leeds in an injury-hit 2024/25 campaign.

During the previous season, he featured 27 times for Gladbach, contributing two goals and three assists.
