Leeds United have checked on Borussia Monchengladbach captain Julian Weigl.
The 29-year old is well known by Leeds boss Daniel Farke but, ideally, the club want a younger profile ahead of a potential summer rebuild.
Promotion from the Championship will dictate who Leeds pursue but they have already earmarked the need to sign a new goalkeeper, a centre-back, left-back, midfielder, winger and striker.
Weigl is a holding midfielder who has been capped six times by Germany and was signed by Farke for Gladbach from Benfica, where he won the Primeira Liga title in 2022-23.
