Leeds United have been in contact over a potential summer transfer for Julian Weigl. Leeds are monitoring Weigl, who is the captain of Borussia Monchengladbach and earns a gross annual salary of around €3–3.5m. Initial contact has been made, and Leeds manager Daniel Farke has a good relationship with Weigl. Leeds' promotion to the Premier League is crucial for the transfer to happen, as Weigl is currently leaning towards staying with Gladbach.

Julian Weigl, an influential player and captain for Borussia Mönchengladbach, has caught the attention of Leeds United. This interest is largely due to Daniel Farke, the former Mönchengladbach coach now at the helm of Leeds United. Farke, who initially brought Weigl to Mönchengladbach on loan from Benfica in 2022 and later secured his permanent transfer for 7.2 million euros, has maintained a strong relationship with the player. Weigl, who harbors aspirations of playing in the Premier League, might be inclined to reunite with Farke, especially given Leeds United's leading position in the Championship, paving their way towards promotion.

Rumours began circulating last month linking Leeds with Farke's former protégé Julian Weigl, whom he worked with at Monchengladbach. The midfielder is certainly a player Farke admires, calling him a great footballer and person who could enrich many teams with his qualities. However, Farke stated that his focus at this stage of the season is entirely on the current squad.
