Leeds United could potentially make a concrete approach for Hoffenheim midfielder Anton Stach soon as reinforcements are eyed at Elland Road.<\/strong><\/p>\n Daniel Farke has lost Rangers star Joe Rothwell<\/a> ahead of next season after his impressive loan stint at the Whites from Bournemouth.<\/p>\n The West Yorkshire outfit have been working on bolstering their backline this summer, but missed out on a concrete target like Habib Diarra to Sunderland.<\/p>\n Hoffenheim want \u00a317million for Stach<\/a> amid interest from the Peacocks, and a deal may be advanced quickly if 49ers Enterprise make an offer.<\/p>\n Leeds haven\u2019t put any bids forward to Hoffenheim for Stach<\/a> as things have gone a little bit quiet, Joe Donnohue said.<\/p>\n The Leeds Live journalist revealed that while things are a bit less advanced when it comes to the 26-year-old midfielder\u2019s potential move to Elland Road<\/a>, the Whites still hold an interest.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Donnohue feels the West Yorkshire outfit clearly want the Germany international, but other teams are monitoring him as well.<\/p>\n Stach\u2019s Bundesliga record last season.<\/p>\n Speaking on the Inside Elland Road Podcast (10 July), the journalist said: \u201cThe Stach situation, I mean, it\u2019s gone a little bit quiet. But quiet doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that things are done. Leeds still hold an interest in him.<\/p>\n \u201cAs far as we understand, it\u2019s not like bids have been put forward to Hoffenheim. So, that one is maybe a little bit less advanced.<\/p>\n \u201cCertainly, the interest is there. And, certainly, there is interest in Stach from other teams as well, which is going to be a common theme of this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Stach transfer needed for Farke at Leeds<\/strong><\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 pursuit of Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff<\/a> has hit a dead end after a disagreement over transfer fees.<\/p>\n It\u2019s clear that the Whites are looking to bolster their engine room ahead of next season, but it remains to be seen who they will be able to sign.<\/p>\n Douglas Luiz has also been linked with a move to Elland Road<\/a> as Juventus look to sell him this summer.<\/p>\n Leeds have already reinforced their backline with multiple additions, and should now shift focus on signing a new goalkeeper, midfielder and attackers.<\/p>\n Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev\u2019s injuries last season gave Farke<\/a> a massive headache, but Ao Tanaka\u2019s emergence and partnership with Rothwell gave the German manager relief.<\/p>\n The Whites will evidently need to improve their quality in depth if they hope to avoid embarrassment in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Only time will tell whether the 49ers will attempt to sign Stach from Hoffenheim or move on to other targets.<\/p>\n![\"Leeds](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1Stach-1024x576.png\")
