RB Leipzig is in the midst of a heated transfer phase. Just before the training camp starts on Saturday, all the World Cup players are slowly returning to Cottaweg. In the case of Yan Diomande, it could be a brief reunion.
What happened?
The deal with Fisnik Asllani, who was already close to joining the Saxons, has fallen through. FC Barcelona has suddenly shown interest in the goalgetter.
Why is this important for RB Leipzig?
The Red Bulls need to earn 100 million euros through player sales. If the deal with Real Madrid goes through, the club would have achieved this with the sale of the Ivorian.
What's next?
The Leipzigers have to look for alternatives. However, the coveted players Said El Mala and Mika Godts are too expensive. Anything above the 50 million euro mark can be ruled out. RB Leipzig is currently in 4th place in the Bundesliga, 20 points behind leaders Bayern München, with 56 points, 17 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses from 29 games, and a current form of WWWLW. The team's next fixture is against Hamburger SV on February 6, 2027, and Viggo Gebel is currently sidelined.
