Anton Stach has been brilliant for Leeds United<\/a>, but it seems Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann is not as impressed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 27-year-old has proved to be a valuable addition at Elland Road, with four goals and three assists in 26 Premier League matches.<\/p>\n

That form earned him a call-up to the national team, and he featured in the pulsating 4-3 win over Switzerland. <\/p>\n

However, Stach was not selected for the clash with Ghana, just days later, which will please Daniel Farke as he will come back fresh. <\/p>\n

Leeds supporters were baffled by the decision<\/a>, and they will be backing the midfielder for the foreseeable future amid his contract situation. <\/p>\n

What is Stach\u2019s contract situation at Leeds United? <\/p>\n

Stach signed for Leeds in the summer,<\/a> in a \u00a317million deal from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim. <\/p>\n

He signed a four-year contract with the Whites, that is set to run until 2029, at the very earliest, unless he is sold. <\/p>\n\nStach\u2019s stats for Leeds this season<\/strong><\/td>\nPremier League<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nMatches<\/td>\n26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGoals<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAssists<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nChances created<\/td>\n58<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTackles per 90<\/td>\n2.39<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nInterceptions per 90<\/td>\n0.80<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Stach\u2019s league stats for Leeds this season.<\/p>\n

It seems as though supporters in LS11 will be seeing much more of Stach in the coming years, even if Nagelsmann perhaps does not rate him as highly. <\/p>\n

Do Leeds want to offer him a new contract?<\/p>\n

Many were calling for Stach to be handed a new deal after his impressive form at the start of his career in Yorkshire. <\/p>\n

However, the Whites seem to have no plans to offer him fresh terms at the moment, according to reports in February. <\/p>\n

The three-time international is not understood to be high on the priority list, as he is contracted for another four years. <\/p>\n

What has Stach said about Leeds fans?<\/p>\n

Stach has clearly been impressed by the supporters and how passionate they are since he moved to Yorkshire. <\/p>\n

Speaking in March about his first home game in front of them, he said: \u201cThe noise, first of all, it was really exhausting the game, the adrenaline. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe atmosphere was crazy sometimes, I struggled because I have the feeling I can\u2019t hear anymore, because it is so loud. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the perfect start, we won 1-0, I had a really good game, and the crowd was like a real football crowd, how it should be.\u201d <\/p>\n

That suggests that he will be happy to stick around for years to come, as he loves the fanbase after what he has witnessed so far. <\/p>\n

What has Farke said about Stach?<\/p>\n

Farke is very happy by the German\u2019s progress with the Whites so far. <\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in February, he said: <\/p>\n

\u201cAnton has been fantastic, he\u2019s played a crucial role.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe perfectly embodies our balance, out of being a physical player who can stand up to the intensity and physicality of this league, but also he\u2019s good on the ball. Tactically, he\u2019s spot on.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s also a top character, also good technique and also good at set-pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n

It seems as though the manager likes having Stach around, based on those comments, so they will surely resist any potential attempts for a sale, if they come about. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Imago Thu 2 April 2026 19:10, UK Anton Stach has been brilliant for Leeds United, but it…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":867880,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[92679,748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-867879","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-anton-stach","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116337153811270490","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=867879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/867879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/867880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=867879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=867879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=867879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
