Leeds United Star Max Wober Rejects New Contract Extension with the Club…
Defender Max Wober says he has been told to focus on the European Championships with Austria by Leeds United who plan to conduct talks over his future once the tournament is over.
Wober made headlines for all the wrong reasons earlier this week as Austria went down 1-0 to Didier Deschamps’ France in their Euro 2024 opener, courtesy of the central defender’s headed own goal.
The 26-year-old was also cautioned during the match for a late challenge on Ousmane Dembele and substituted on 59 minutes, capping a difficult night for the Austrian in Dusseldorf.
Speaking to German outlet BILD, the player says his Elland Road future remains unresolved but that talks are planned to once-and-for-all come to a decision on where he will play his football next season.
“There is currently total radio silence on both sides,” he said.
“I’ve heard from Leeds that there will be talks once the European Championships are over. They want me to concentrate on Austria for now.”
Wober made use of a loan release clause in his Leeds contract last summer, triggering the option to leave for the duration of 2023/24, whereupon he joined Borussia Monchengladbach in Germany’s top flight – however, his future is unlikely to remain at the Bundesliga club.
