Leeds United sign Swiss defender Nico Elvedi from Borussia Mönchengladbach on a permanent deal. Multiple outlets report the transfer fee is £8.5 million (about $11 million), completed on Wednesday.
The signing comes after another defensive change at Leeds. Yahoo Sports reports that defender Sebastiaan Bornauw has left the club on a season-long loan to Hamburg, and Elvedi’s arrival is framed as a response to that departure. Yahoo also notes Leeds are looking for additional additions beyond the defender signing, describing interest in an attacking reinforcement.
BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports both confirm the player, the club he joins from, and the reported cost, while Yahoo provides extra context about surrounding squad movement and Leeds’ broader transfer plans. No outlet disputes the core details of the deal.
