“Leeds United’s Free Agent Target Before Josuha Guilavogui Move Now Set for Bundesliga Return”

In October, Leeds United explored multiple free-agent options to bolster their midfield after key injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev, eventually settling on Josuha Guilavogui. The seven-time France international has been a revelation since his arrival, with his dynamic personality quickly endearing him to the Leeds faithful. Under Daniel Farke, Guilavogui has played a pivotal role in securing victories, with the team winning all seven matches he’s featured in.

However, despite his success at Elland Road, Guilavogui’s former free-agent status has now attracted interest from a Bundesliga club, with rumors swirling about a potential return to Germany. This could signal another twist in the French midfielder’s career, even as he continues to make an impact at Leeds.

On Saturday afternoon, Josuha Guilavogui made a brief but memorable appearance in Leeds’ 4-0 win over Oxford, coming off the bench for the final few minutes. The French midfielder had invited his family, along with his old friend and former teammate Bafetimbi Gomis, to Elland Road, marking a special moment in his Leeds journey. Since joining, Guilavogui has proven his worth with a perfect record in the seven games he’s played under Daniel Farke.

However, Guilavogui wasn’t the first free agent linked with Leeds in the aftermath of injuries to key midfielders Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev. Initially, Cheikhou Kouyate was rumored to be on Leeds’ radar, followed by Francis Coquelin, before the club ultimately secured the signing of the 2010 World Cup winner. Despite the competition, Guilavogui’s contribution has now firmly established him as a key figure in Leeds’ midfield, but the earlier speculation surrounding Kouyate and Coquelin shows the club’s wide-ranging approach to strengthening their squad.

Christoph Kramer was another free agent linked with Leeds United in the summer of 2024, in what would have been a reunion with manager Daniel Farke. The pair previously worked together at Borussia Monchengladbach, and with Kramer’s contract expiring, he was seen as a potential addition to Leeds’ midfield. However, the club ultimately chose to sign Josuha Guilavogui instead.

Now, Kramer appears set to move to Bundesliga side Bochum, currently languishing in 18th place and battling to avoid relegation. According to Frankfurter Rundschau, Bochum’s sporting director Ilja Kaenzig has stated that Kramer would be a “particularly good fit” for manager Dieter Hecking as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the second half of the season.

Christoph Kramer, who was linked with a move to Leeds United over the summer, is now poised to join Bundesliga club Bochum on a free transfer. The midfielder, whose contract with Borussia Monchengladbach expired in 2024, was a potential reunion target for Leeds manager Daniel Farke, with the pair having previously worked together at Gladbach. However, Leeds opted to bring in Josuha Guilavogui instead.

Now, Bochum, currently struggling in 18th place, are keen to add Kramer to their squad in their battle against relegation. Bochum sporting director Ilja Kaenzig has expressed confidence in Kramer’s fit for the team, noting his previous strong relationship with manager Dieter Hecking. Kaenzig stated, “He was a player for Dieter Hecking. They also had a very good relationship. It would therefore be a particularly good fit. I would be willing to do such things, whether that is Chris Kramer or someone else.”
