RB Leipzig set 80 million euro price tag for Antonio Nusa

RB Leipzig have set a price tag of up to 80 million euros for Norwegian international Antonio Nusa ahead of the summer transfer window. The 21-year-old winger is attracting serious interest from several English Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool. The team itself currently sits fourth in the Bundesliga with 18 points from nine games.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken favourably about the player. He said he is impressed by Nusa's tactical discipline, versatility and athleticism. A delegation from London observed Nusa during Leipzig's 2-3 Champions League defeat to Manchester City, where the Norwegian scored a 61st-minute consolation goal. A move in the winter is ruled out, as Nusa has recently been dealing with muscular problems in his leg.

Financial Targets

The potential record fee is a key component of RB Leipzig's financial strategy. The club needs to generate around 100 million euros in transfer revenue in the upcoming period. Nusa's current market value is listed at 45 million euros. Should a transfer materialise at the demanded price, teammate Castello Lukeba, valued at 50 million euros, could become the squad's most valuable asset.

Aside from Arsenal and Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are also showing interest in signing him. Nusa himself has already registered 13 goal contributions this season, matching his personal best from the 2024/25 campaign. He has thus achieved more than half of the 20 scorer points expected for this season. The team's current top scorer is Christopher Nkunku with five goals.

Current Form and Outlook

Speculation about his future does not seem to be affecting the winger's on-pitch performances. In last Saturday's 5-2 home win over FC Augsburg, Nusa provided an assist for Christoph Baumgartner's goal. That victory solidified RB Leipzig's position in fourth place in the Bundesliga with 18 points from nine games. The team now sits just three points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Their overall record shows 27 goals scored and 13 conceded. The recent form of four wins and one loss from the last five competitive matches, including a 2-0 away win at Schalke 04, shows their strength.

RB Leipzig's next match is an away fixture against Union Berlin on November 21. Marco Rose's side aims to continue its good form and maintain pressure on the teams at the top of the standings. Planning for the summer continues in parallel, where a sale of Nusa would significantly increase the financial flexibility for new signings.
