The finalization of the transfer is anticipated to be wrapped up within the next 2-3 days, pending the completion of formalities. This move marks a return to the Bundesliga for Wöber, who previously played for RB Salzburg and had a loan stint at Borussia Mönchengladbach, giving him valuable experience in German football.
For Leeds United, the departure of Wöber could provide some financial flexibility as they continue to reshape their squad under manager Daniel Farke. Meanwhile, Werder Bremen fans will be eager to see how the 27-year-old defender bolsters their backline as they aim to climb the Bundesliga table in the 2025/26 season.
