# Leeds: Mateusz Klich set for D.C. United move

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) midfielder Mateusz Klich is on the verge of sealing a move to MLS side D.C. United, according to a key update from journalist Tom Bogert.**

### The Lowdown: Klich out of favour at Leeds

The 32-year-old has been a good servant for the Whites, not always standing out as a headline-maker but doing a solid job in the middle of the park.

Klich has had a frustrating 2022/23 season to date, however, [failing to start](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/69638/Show/Mateusz-Klich) a single [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) game and being limited to 11 cameo appearances.

It has led to [rumours](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-premier-league-mateusz-klich-transfer-news-updates/) linking Klich with a move away from Leeds and it now looks as though his wish is set to be granted.

### The Latest: DC United move ‘close’

Writing on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/tombogert/status/1601226421703434241?s=20&t=brZw1gaYsepGricLjVei1w), Bogert claimed that Klich’s move to DC United is almost complete:

> “BREAKING: D.C. United are finalizing a deal to sign Poland midfielder Mateusz Klich from Leeds United per sources. Not 100% done yet, but close. Klich, 32, wouldn’t be a DP. @UEFAComPiotrK first on interest.
>
> “Klich has 42 caps with Poland. Joined Leeds in 2018, has 192 apps.”

### The Verdict: Right time to move on

In truth, this feels like a natural conclusion to Klich’s Leeds career, with Jesse Marsch clearly not seeing him as a key player moving forward.

To have not started at all in the league, despite some injury issues in midfield, is a testament to that and he is now a level below someone like Tyler Adams.

Klich will benefit from playing in the slower-paced MLS, as age continues to catch up with him, but he should be remembered as a good player for the Whites, being [hailed](https://motleedsnews.com/news/epitome-of-what-marcelo-has-done-sky-sports-pundit-identifies-leeds-unsung-hero/) as ‘wonderful’ by David Prutton.
