Leeds Linked With January Move for Union Berlin’s Danilho Doekhi

An expiring contract forces Union Berlin to decide quickly on a fee or a summer exit.

Overview

  • Sky Sports, as relayed by TAG24, reports Leeds United have shown interest in signing the centre-back in the winter window.
  • Leeds are short at the back after Joe Rodon’s injury, leaving Daniel Farke with limited centre-back options and a team sitting 16th at the halfway point.
  • Doekhi is a cornerstone of Union’s back three and is viewed as physically suited to the Premier League.
  • His contract runs out in the summer and his value is estimated at about €13 million, making January a likely last chance for Union to secure a fee.
  • Union are expected to allow only one of Doekhi or Diogo Leite to depart in January, with Felix Uduokhai mentioned as a possible replacement, and no bid or agreement has been reported.
