Report: Leeds now have 48 hours to sign ‘extraordinary’ target as Farke plots £8.5m bid
Leeds and Stuttgart may not have long to wait before knowing who has won the tug-of-war over Nubel’s transfer from Bayern Munich. The offer of a permanent transfer could help the Whites win the race. But the goalkeeper’s desires can equally support a move to Die Roten.
Reports by Kicker first noted Stuttgart’s secret meeting with Nubel last week. But it added that Bayern Munich had reduced their €15m (£13m) asking price to €8-10m (£7-8.5m) – the same sum as Leeds are now willing to pay. So, the tide could yet swing in the Whites’ favour.
Leeds agreeing on terms with Bayern Munich would give Daniel Farke a huge boost toward a transfer for Nubel. Yet the shot-stopper, who Klaus Thomforde once hailed as ‘extraordinary’, may have a big say in where he is playing next term after Stuttgart’s successful secret talks.
