Lukas Nmecha is moving from Wolfsburg to Leeds United for free!

In an exciting move for both sides, 26-year-old striker Lukas Nmecha has officially completed his move from Wolfsburg to Leeds United. The transfer, which has now been confirmed by the responsible clubs on Sunday, provides for a contract until 2027 and is the first signing for Leeds United in this summer transfer window. Interestingly, there is no transfer fee as Nmecha's contract with Wolfsburg expires at the end of the month Sky Sports reported.

Nmecha, who was born in Hamburg and started his career in Manchester City's youth ranks, has had an eventful career. He made his Premier League debut in 2018, but only made three appearances during his time at City, as he had several loan spells at various clubs, including Preston North End, Middlesbrough and Anderlecht. At Anderlecht he impressed with 21 goals in one season before returning permanently to Wolfsburg in 2021, where he scored a total of 19 goals and provided four assists in 85 games The New York Times holds on.

The return to Leeds United

With Nmecha's move to Leeds, the “Whites”, as the team is affectionately known, are closing a key gap in their attack. Leeds secured last-minute promotion to the Premier League when they overtook Burnley on goal difference on the final day of the 2024-25 season. Nmecha will no doubt cement a key role in their return to the top flight, having played 20 games for Wolfsburg last season, although his appearances were hampered by injuries.

Those in charge at Leeds have shown a good hand with this signing. Nmecha is not only considered a talented player, but also brings experience from the national team, where he has represented Germany seven times since 2019. In addition, he played an important role in winning the 2021 U21 European Championship, where he not only became top scorer, but also promoted the development of young talents, so Football Transfers.
