Leeds United is making significant progress in their pursuit of Swiss defender Isaac Schmidt, as the transfer deadline looms. The club has been working diligently to finalize a deal with St Gallen, the Swiss side Schmidt currently represents. Despite some delays caused by Schmidt’s recent participation in a European qualifier against Trabzonspor in Turkey, the transfer remains on track.
Photos shared by Schmidt’s management team, SBE Management, on their Instagram account offer a glimpse into the ongoing negotiations. The images include shots from Elland Road, highlighting the defender’s imminent arrival at Leeds United. Schmidt’s journey from Turkey to Leeds delayed the official announcement, but it appears that all the necessary steps are being completed.
The deal had already been agreed upon between the two clubs, and Schmidt’s management team has been working tirelessly to ensure the transfer goes through. Schmidt finally arrived in Leeds yesterday afternoon, and while the move faced some logistical challenges, the situation seems to be resolving smoothly.
Leeds United fans can expect Schmidt to join the team shortly and will be under the guidance of manager Daniel Farke. The arrival of the Swiss full-back is anticipated to be finalized today, bolstering Leeds’ defensive options as they head into the new season.
As Leeds United aims to strengthen their squad, Schmidt’s addition is seen as a significant boost. The club’s proactive efforts in securing the transfer reflect their commitment to enhancing the team and achieving their goals for the season.
