Red Bull Salzburg director of football Christoph Freund has revealed that Max Wober 'expressed' his wish to join Leeds United, but is confident the club can find a replacement.
Wober became Leeds' first signing of the January transfer window when he completed his switch from reigning Austrian Bundesliga champions RB Salzburg on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old was a key player for the Red Bulls and won three domestic league titles during his spell at the club. The Austrian international has now been reunited with Jesse Marsch, who brought him to RB Salzburg back in 2019.
