Anton Stach has reportedly inched closer to joining Leeds United after sealing an agreement on personal terms with the newly promoted Premier League club.
According to an update by reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Anton Stach is the subject of interest from Leeds United. The Whites are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a holding midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 26-year-old Hoffenheim midfielder has emerged as a target for the West Yorkshire outfit.
The 2024/25 EFL Championship winners have already struck an agreement on personal terms with the Buchholz in the Nordheide native. In addition, Leeds United and TSG Hoffenheim have begun negotiations over a possible summer deal, with the Bundesliga outfit demanding over €20 million to part ways with Stach.
Anton Stach and his Hoffenheim journey
Anton Stach has come leaps and bounds since joining TSG Hoffenheim from FSV Mainz in September 2023. The 26-year-old has made considerable progress in the last two years, having become one of the most underrated midfielders in the Bundesliga during this period.
The German international has turned out 71 times thus far for the Bundesliga club while chipping in with four goals and six assists. Meanwhile, Stach’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe, with Leeds United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Leeds United’s interest in Anton Stach is understandable. The Whites are combing the market for a holding midfielder this summer as they look to add steel to the middle of the park. So, the TSG Hoffenheim midfielder has emerged as a viable target for the newly promoted Premier League club.
The 2024/25 EFL Championship winners have already secured one deal for a midfielder this summer, with Sean Longstaff on the verge of arriving from Newcastle United. Stach may be the next midfield reinforcement at Leeds United, with the TSG Hoffenheim midfielder sealing the agreement on personal terms with the West Midlands outfit.
The Whites have now opened formal talks with the Bundesliga outfit to sign the 26-year-old German international. Hoffenheim will demand over €20 million to part ways with Stach. However, with other clubs also keen on signing the player, Leeds United will aim to seal the deal as soon as possible.
