A number of Bundesliga clubs, including Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund, are said to be big admirers of Leeds United midfielder Ilia Gruev
Ilia Gruev is attracting interest from a host of Bundesliga clubs, including Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund. Sky Sports Germany claim that Dortmund have held a long-standing interest in the Leeds United midfielder and that chief scout Sven Mislintat was in attendance for their play-off final with Southampton last month.
Gruev, recruited from Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen on a permanent basis last summer, made a slow start to his Whites career. But the 24-year-old caught the eye in the second half of the 2023/24 season as United secured a third-placed finish. He acquitted himself well in the defensive midfield role after captain Ethan Ampadu was shifted into the back four, featuring 35 times across all competitions.
Gruev started every Championship fixture from January 13 until the end of the season. His first goal in Whites colours came in their resounding play-off semi-final second leg win at home to Norwich City. Several players have been linked with a move away from the Whites since their Wembley disappointment, including Archie Gray, Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville.
