Sky Sports - Leeds United now agree personal terms with Germany int'l star Man Utd want

Leeds United have agreed personal terms with TSG Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Leeds want to bolster their options in the middle of the park following a return to the Premier League and are closing in on a move for Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff.

Whites manager Daniel Farke wants more quality additions to his team at the Elland Road club, and Stach has agreed to join them.

However, Leeds and Hoffenheim have yet to reach an agreement, with talks ongoing between both clubs.

The Bundesliga club want around €20 million, including add-ons, for the two-time Germany international as he is still under contract until 2027.

The West Yorkshire club will be facing fierce competition from other suitors for the 6ft 4in Stach as Hoffenheim have received several enquiries for the 26-year-old across Europe.

Mateta and Stach are really issues at #MUFC. However, the demands for Mateta in particular are significantly higher than the price they are willing to pay.

Manchester United are also keen on the German, but it appears he prefers to join Leeds ahead of them and other suitors.

Stach brings much-needed experience and quality to the table having made 113 Bundesliga appearances for the likes of Mainz 05 and Hoffenheim, and his versatility is a trait Farke could do with.
