Leeds United have already started planning for life back in the Premier League, with Julian Weigl one of those linked with a move to Elland Road.
Leeds haven’t secured promotion yet, but with just four games remaining, it seems almost nailed on at this point that Premier League football will be returning.
With that in mind, plenty of focus will already be on the summer transfer window, in order to give the Whites the best chance of avoiding the drop.
Weigl has already been linked with a move to Leeds United, with the latest development showcasing where their priorities stand.
Weigl could join Leeds United this summer
Daniel Farke will be well aware of the strengths possessed by Weigl, having spent time together at Borussia Monchengladbach, and according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Pletternberg via X, the Whites have made an approach to sign him.
The 29-year-old is under contract until the summer of 2028, meaning that his current side will be in no rush to sell, but the good relationship between him and Farke could be the differenceWeigl currently earns £57,000 per week in the Bundesliga, and is said to only be keen on leaving Monchengladbach in favour of a move to the Premier League.With four games to go, and a five-point advantage, it certainly seems as though Leeds will be able to offer that, though the report adds that talks have not yet started between the two clubs.Leeds must get summer recruitment right
With the three promoted sides from last season coming straight back down, the gap in quality has never been more evident in the two divisions.
If Leeds are to avoid that themselves, they need to recruit smartly with players who have showcased their ability to perform at the highest level, and Weigl suits that bill.
While the main focus at Elland Road will be cementing their spot back in the top flight, they will have one eye on potential deals to give them somewhat of a headstart in the transfer window.
Farke already has an excellent squad to work with, but adding even more quality will be crucial to their hopes of surviving in the Premier League.
