Nico Elvedi is on the brink of a move to Leeds United. The Swiss defender could leave Borussia Mönchengladbach after eleven years to join the Premier League. The Gladbach defense, which conceded 53 goals last season, faces a shake-up. Elvedi, who has been with the club since 2015, could depart despite his contract running until 2027. ## What's on the table? According to „Sky“, Elvedi has agreed to a transfer with Leeds United. The 29-year-old is set to sign a contract until 2029. His former coach Daniel Farke, who managed Gladbach in the 2022/23 season, awaits him. However, Borussia has not yet received a written offer. If a bid exceeds ten million euros, Gladbach is likely to let Elvedi go. ## Why does it matter? Elvedi has been a key player for Gladbach for eleven years. With 364 appearances, he is one of the most experienced players on the team. His departure would leave a gap in the defense, which scored 42 goals and conceded 53 last season. The Foals finished the 2025 season in 12th place with 38 points. ## What's next? Gladbach's coach Eugen Polanski tried until the last moment to convince Elvedi to stay. He appointed him vice-captain and praised him highly. Nevertheless, the player's decision seems to be made. Another departure to England could follow, as Rouven Schröder wants to offload a World Cup participant.
