Nico Elvedi is poised to become Leeds United's fourth signing of the summer as he finalizes a move from Borussia Monchengladbach for a reported fee of €10 million. This transfer marks a significant addition to Leeds' roster as they seek to bolster their defensive options ahead of the upcoming season.

According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal has been confirmed and is expected to be completed soon. Florian Plettenberg, a top German transfer insider, further elaborates that the agreement includes a 15% sell-on clause for Borussia Monchengladbach, indicating the club's interest in future profits from Elvedi's potential resale.

The 29-year-old defender has been excluded from his team’s recent friendly against Aston Villa, signaling the imminent nature of the transfer. Elvedi's move comes as he enters the final year of his contract with the German side, having made 364 appearances during his tenure.

Leeds United has had a relatively quiet summer in the transfer market, having previously secured goalkeeper James Trafford from Manchester City, World Cup star Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo, and free agent Harry Wilson. While these signings have added quality, the club aims to enhance its depth, which Elvedi is expected to provide.

In addition, reports suggest that Elvedi's arrival may facilitate the departure of defender Sebastiaan Bornauw, who is anticipated to join Hamburg in a swift deal for a modest fee.
