Leeds United hold talks over signing Borussia Dortmund defender Marius Wolf.

Leeds United have registered their interest in Borussia Dortmund full-back Marius Wolf, who is set to become a free agent this summer, according to Florian Plettenberg.

The Sky Sports journalist reported via X [20 May] that the Whites have already enquired about the 28-year-old, seeing him as a “serious” transfer option if the club can secure promotion back to the Premier League this season.

It is understood that there is also interest from Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia, as the defender closes the chapter on his Dortmund career after a total of 121 appearances since arriving in 2018.

“Leeds United are interested in Wolf and could be a serious option if Leeds are promoted to the Premier League,” Plettenberg wrote. “Leeds have enquired about the 28-year-old right-back, who leaves Dortmund as a free agent.”

Premier League promotion is certainly the target this season as Leeds prepare to face Southampton in the Championship play-off final on Sunday 26 May.

Of course, with just one match separating the club from a bounce straight back up to the top tier of English football, it makes sense for plans to be made already in the eventuality of beating the Saints at Wembley.
