RB Leipzig confirms David Raum as captain
RB Leipzig has decided that David Raum will continue to serve as captain after the test match in Leeds. Trainer Martin Demichelis confirmed this on BILD-Nachfrage. The decision is not surprising, but it sends a signal for the future of the left-back.
David Raum has been captain of RB Leipzig since the previous season. He was appointed by former coach Ole Werner and replaced Abwehrchef Willi Orban. Raums contract expires in the summer of 2027. The left-back had recently missed a clear commitment to an extension.

The decision by Trainer Martin Demichelis means that RB Leipzig is fully committed to David Raum and wants to keep him longer as a key player. The left-back is an important part of the team, and his extension would be a great honor for him.
What comes next?
RB Leipzig will discuss the future of David Raum in the coming days. It is not yet clear whether the left-back will extend his contract or not. But one thing is certain: David Raum will remain an important part of RB Leipzig's future.
