RB Leipzig Targets Said El Mala
RB Leipzig has announced plans to sign 19-year-old winger Said El Mala from 1. FC Köln to replace Yan Diomandé, who moved to Real Madrid. The club is preparing an offer of €50 million fixed, plus €5 million bonus and another €5 million for exceptional performances.
Offer and Decision Process
According to BILD, Leipzig intends to present an “irrésistible” offer. Before submitting it to Köln, the supervisory board must approve the decision, expected to happen this week. Dortmund had expressed interest but declined the offer.
El Mala as the Favorite
El Mala scored 13 goals and five assists in last season’s Bundesliga campaign. He is regarded as a promising talent in Germany. Leipzig also considered Diego Moreira, but the Belgian left Strasbourg to join AC Milan, making El Mala the favourite to replace Diomandé.
Yan Diomandé and Real Madrid
Yan Diomandé, the Ivorian, moved to Real Madrid for an “exorbitant” fee not disclosed in the article. Leipzig now needs a successor to fill the gap.
Conclusion
Leipzig is actively pursuing the transfer of 19-year-old Said El Mala to replace Yan Diomandé. The offer includes €50 million plus bonuses. The supervisory board’s decision is expected this week. El Mala scored 13 goals and five assists last season.
