The player's agent has told the Adelaide Advertiser that an agreement is close with German outfit Borussia Moenchengladbach.

A three-year deal is thought to be on the table for the youngster. But the player is in no immediate rush and wants to see out the A-League campaign.

"I would definitely rather stay for the season for both me and the club," he said. " We are having a really great season. I want to be part of the whole thing.

"Adelaide gave me the opportunity and I took it, but I would never have had it if it wasn't for them. I would like to prove how happy I am with the chance."

But Leckie's immediate priority is winning a fitness battle to face Melbourne Victory. He is confident the Reds can end their miserable run against Ernie Merrick's men.

He added: "The boys are all pumped to win."
