Legia Warsaw Eye Reunion with Weißhaupt as Bobic Plots Bold Move
Warsaw, August 30, 2025 — Legia Warsaw are on the brink of a surprising transfer twist as sporting director Fredi Bobic, formerly of VfB Stuttgart and Hertha BSC, looks to reunite with Noah Weißhaupt, the 23-year-old German winger who once lit up Bundesliga youth circuits.
Weißhaupt, currently sidelined at SC Freiburg after a lukewarm loan spell at St. Pauli, has emerged as a priority target for Bobic, who previously oversaw the player’s development during his tenure in Germany. Sources close to the club suggest that Bobic sees Weißhaupt as a missing piece in Legia’s evolving tactical puzzle—an injection of pace and creativity on the flanks.
“Legia’s sporting director Fredi Bobic—formerly of Stuttgart and Hertha—may reunite with him in Warsaw,” a club insider confirmed late Friday, hinting at advanced talks between the two camps.
The deal could take shape as either a season-long loan or a low-fee permanent transfer, with Freiburg reportedly open to offloading the winger, whose market value has dipped to around €5 million. Weißhaupt’s arrival would bolster Legia’s depth ahead of their UEFA Conference League group stage campaign, following a thrilling 5–4 aggregate win over Hibernian.
Manager Edward Iordanescu is said to be on board, viewing Weißhaupt as a versatile option who can slot into both wide and central roles. With Legia currently sitting mid-table in the Ekstraklasa, the move signals a strategic push to reclaim domestic dominance while maintaining European momentum.
If finalized, the transfer would mark Bobic’s first major signing since taking the reins in Warsaw—and a symbolic return to familiar talent in unfamiliar territory.
