RB Leipzig will significantly reduce its squad before the Bundesliga season starts. Business manager Marcel Schäfer emphasizes in the training camp of the Saxons: „We must reduce it, because it's naturally easier for all parties involved. Too much discontent within a season in the locker room, but also on the pitch – we don't want that.“ Currently, 35 players are in Saalfelden, the desired squad should include 28 players according to the Bild. There are plenty of candidates for sale. The tabloid mentions Lutsharel Geertruida (26), Eljif Elmas (26), Arthur Vermeeren (21), Conrad Harder (21), Lukas Klostermann (30), El Chadaille Bitshiabu (21) and Ezechiel Banzuzi (21). Additionally, some young players could be loaned out. Since striker Fisnik Asllani (23/TSG Hoffenheim) is expected to join, Schäfer still has a lot of work ahead of him.
