Maximilian Wöber set to join FC Schalke 04 from Leeds United
Summary

Maximilian Wöber, currently under contract with Leeds United, is poised to complete a transfer to FC Schalke 04. The 28-year-old defender has been training in Austria and successfully passed his medical examination. Wöber, who spent last season on loan at Werder Bremen, made limited appearances due to injuries, which led to Werder not exercising their purchase option. His transfer likely means that Felix Uduokhai will not join Schalke as previously anticipated.
