Team Talk reports that Ilia Gruev has been tipped to leave Leeds United amid discussions of a return to the Bundesliga. Gruev explained that a return to the Bundesliga is not something he is thinking about right now, and stated that he really appreciates the Premier League and enjoys playing there. Leeds rates Gruev in the £12m bracket. He has just a year left on his current deal and is hoping Leeds will open talks to extend his stay.

Ilia Gruev's future at Leeds United is dependent on the club's promotion to the Premier League. If promoted, Gruev is committed to staying at Leeds. However, if they fail to get promoted, he may consider offers from other clubs as there is growing interest in him from teams across Europe and beyond. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market worth at 5 million euros.
