Max Wober says he is leaving Leeds United this summer with a ‘heavy heart’ after only signing for the club in January.
German outfit Borussia Monchengladbach have secured the talents of the 25-year-old on a season-long loan deal, after Leeds United were relegated to the Championship last season and Max Wober claimed on Instagram that ‘it is a necessary step to show myself at the highest level’.
It was only six months ago that Leeds United were paying Red Bull Salzburg £11 million (Sky Sports) for the versatile player.
That’s when Wober was supposed to prove that he was worthy of ‘the highest level’, with the Premier League seen as the biggest test of them all on the domestic stage.
But instead, just like many of his teammates, he was abject and watched the team crumble back to the Championship without any fight.
Wober told the Yorkshire faithful that he will be ‘supporting Leeds no matter what’, well, if he did that, then he would stay on board, wouldn’t he?! Nonetheless, here was his message to supporters.
“I’m telling you with a heavy heart that I’m leaving Leeds United for the coming season on loan,” Wober wrote. “I’m forever grateful for the support you gave me from the minute I set foot on Elland Road. It really means a lot to me.
“I totally understand the disappointment with some of you. But for me, it is a necessary step to show myself at the highest level and to be able to secure a spot in the national team of Austria for the Euros in 2024. I can only wish the club all the best during the time that I’m away. I’ll be supporting you no matter what, wherever I go.”
Leeds need to get rid of the deadwood
That’s probably the umpteenth player that is leaving on a loan deal, but there is nothing much the club can do because of the mess of last season.
But when these players return from their loan spells, they need to be booted out as soon as possible.
They have shown their true colours by putting Leeds into this mess, then at the first time of asking, jumping ship.
