Leeds United’s hopes of signing Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach have received a major boost, as fresh reports suggest the German international is now open to a move to Elland Road. After weeks of speculation, the Championship side are believed to be in advanced discussions with the Bundesliga club and confident of securing a deal in the coming days.
The 25-year-old, who made 28 appearances in the Bundesliga last season, has reportedly agreed personal terms with Leeds, marking a significant step forward in negotiations. Hoffenheim are thought to be willing to cash in on Stach for a fee in the region of £16–18 million, which Leeds are prepared to meet as they aim to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new campaign.
Anton Stach’s physical presence, tactical awareness, and ball-winning ability make him an ideal fit for Daniel Farke’s high-intensity style of play. Standing at 6’4″, he adds much-needed stature and composure to Leeds’ engine room—qualities that were noticeably lacking during stretches of last season.
With other clubs from Germany and Italy also monitoring Stach, Leeds’ early progress in the talks has been crucial. Sources close to the player indicate that he is attracted by the prospect of playing in English football and is particularly keen to work under Farke, who has a strong reputation for developing German talent.
If Leeds can finalise the transfer, it would represent a major coup and a clear statement of intent as they push for promotion back to the Premier League. Stach’s arrival would likely follow that of other key targets, as the club looks to wrap up its summer business early and give Farke a settled squad for pre-season preparations.
