Nico Elvedi, the 28-year-old Swiss centre-back, is reportedly “ready” to join Leeds United, but there’s a catch – he wants to play in the Premier League, not the Championship. This means that Leeds United’s promotion to the Premier League is crucial in securing Elvedi’s signature.
Elvedi has been on Leeds’ radar for some time, and manager Daniel Farke is a big fan of the player. Farke hopes to reunite with Elvedi, having worked together at Gladbach. Elvedi’s versatility, being comfortable in both centre-back and left-back positions, makes him an attractive signing for Leeds ¹.
According to Ben Jacobs, Elvedi didn’t want to move in mid-season, but now feels ready for the Premier League. This desire for Premier League football could be a stumbling block for Leeds if they fail to secure promotion.
With Elvedi’s desire to play in the Premier League and his willingness to reunite with Farke, it seems that Leeds are in pole position to sign him. However, the club’s promotion to the Premier League is a crucial factor in securing the deal.
