Leeds United secures signing of Bornauw from Wolfsburg - Transfer of Bornauw from Wolfsburg to Leeds completed for midfielder Nmecha
Sebastiaan Bornauw, a 26-year-old Belgian defender, has completed his move from VfL Wolfsburg to Leeds United in the English Premier League. The transfer, which is subject to a work permit, has been confirmed by both clubs.
Bornauw, a right-footed centre-back, had 12 months remaining on his Wolfsburg contract (expiring June 2026) at the time of transfer. Leeds United is expected to offer him a four-year contract upon signing.
The deal, reported to be worth approximately £5.14-5.15 million (€6 million), will strengthen Leeds' defense, providing cover for established centre-back Joe Rodon and adding aerial prowess to their set-piece threats.
The transfer marks a reunion for Bornauw with Lukas Nmecha, who also played for VfL Wolfsburg last season. Both players are set to bolster Leeds' squad under the guidance of manager Daniel Farke, who coached Bornauw at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Prior to joining VfL Wolfsburg, Bornauw played for 1. FC Köln. Since joining Wolfsburg in the summer of 2021, he has played 96 competitive games for the German club. As of the current transfer, Sebastiaan Bornauw has played a total of 105 competitive games.
The exact number of games Sebastiaan Bornauw will start for Leeds United is not specified. However, last season, he started in nine matches for VfL Wolfsburg.
With this move, Leeds United continues to make strategic signings as they prepare for upcoming campaigns. Fans eagerly anticipate the impact Bornauw will have on the team.

In the EC countries, Sebastiaan Bornauw, a 26-year-old Belgian defender, might consider enrolling in a vocational training program for sports coaches after he retires from professional football, given his successful management by Daniel Farke in both Borussia Mönchengladbach and Leeds United. Meanwhile, Bornauw's aerial prowess on the football field will undoubtedly enhance Leeds United's set-piece threats and strengthen their defense, making them a formidable force in English Premier League games.
