Leeds reach agreement to sign Nico Elvedi from Gladbach

Leeds United have reached an agreement to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach defender Nico Elvedi, according to a report. Ben Jacobs brought word of it, describing a deal now in place between the clubs.

The agreement is said to be worth €8 million up front with a further €2 million in add-ons. The same report adds that Mönchengladbach will retain a sell-on clause as part of the package.

Elvedi has been tracked by Leeds for more than a year, it is reported, and the Swiss defender is now in line for a move subject to the usual formalities. There is no official confirmation from the clubs at this stage.

While the report outlines club-to-club terms, it does not detail timelines or the status of any medical or registration steps that would precede completion. If finalised, the signing would add experience to Leeds’ defensive options.

Leeds’ pursuit of Elvedi has been a consistent thread over recent windows, and the latest development suggests a breakthrough in their efforts to bring him to England. The structure of the fee and inclusion of a sell-on clause point to a negotiated compromise to get the deal across the line.
