Leeds United are currently working on multiple transfer files, both incoming and outgoing.<\/p>\n

In that mix, the future of Isaac Schmidt hasn\u2019t really been one of the major concerns for the newly promoted Premier League side.<\/p>\n

The Whites signed the 25-year-old a year ago for around \u20ac3m from FC. St Gallen 79. However, as Daniel Farke\u2019s side pushed their way to promotion, Schmidt didn\u2019t have much involvement and managed just 71 minutes across 12 Championship games and started two Emirates FA Cup games, playing 180 minutes.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of this month the player\u2019s agent made it clear<\/a> an exit was on the agenda this summer, with the defender hoping to play a part should Switzerland qualify for the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Baykal Bellusci told the Swiss media: \u201cIsaac played as a left-back for a long time, and we discussed with the club that there was a larger market for the right-back position. The decision to switch Isaac to the right led to the transfer and his call-up to the national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has developed, matured as a player, and proven himself with the national team. In a World Cup year, the top priority shouldn\u2019t be to focus on finances. Instead, it\u2019s all about one thing: Where can I play the most games to prove myself? I\u2019m convinced we\u2019ll find a very good solution for him this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick Berger<\/a> now reports Werder Bremen have reached an agreement in principle with the Leeds United player. The Bundesliga club want a loan and are currently negotiating that with the Premier League club.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether the move will include an option or obligation to buy, and Daniel Farke is said to want a replacement secured before Schmidt goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United are currently working on multiple transfer files, both incoming and outgoing.
