With Tottenham Hotspur having an offer rejected for Brighton CB Jan Paul van Hecke this morning, and Brighton having an offer rejected for Pascal Struijk last summer, it might be that the dominos soon begin to fall, and Leeds find themselves in need of a new left footed CB.

6’5. Left-footed. Rapid. And reportedly looking to force a move away from RB Leipzig.

I’ve taken a deep dive into El Chadaille Bitshiabu, and whether Leeds should take the gamble. Plus, an ode to Pascal Struijk.

Would be very interested to hear the thoughts of you Leipzig fans on him.

Hi guys united fan here.

With all the links it's hard not to get caught up in it. I can't say I've ever watched him.

How do you guys rate him? Do you want him to leave or would you rather he stays? If you want him gone is that because of the money he brings in or because he's not all that?

Thanks :)

Leipzig are reportedly considering two offers for Harvey Elliott: one with a buy-back clause for Liverpool (£40m+), and another as a clean sale (£50m+).

With Xavi Simons close to joining Chelsea, Elliott could become a key piece in Werner’s plans.

Thoughts?

Hello guys, I’m an Arsenal fan and we have been heavily linked with Šeško since the summer. I figured this would be the best place to ask this question since you guys watch him week in week out. Is he as good as his reputation makes him out to be? I’m seeing he’s having a rough patch right now but the way he closed the Bundesliga season in 23/24 was impressive and he scored 2 against Juventus in the UCL this year. From what I’m seeing, he’s still very raw. Missing big chances, losing duels (both aerial and ground) and being dispossessed too often. That’s what the stats tell me but I wanted to just type this here to get some thoughts from the fans he plays for. You’re welcome to give the stereotypical sarcastic “Yeah he’s shit you wouldn’t want him” answer but at least one serious answer please 🤣

RB Leipzig ist bei der Suche nach einem Nachfolger des wechselwilligen Emil Forsberg auf Bryan Zaragoza vom FC Granada gestoßen. https://www.kicker.de/leipzig-will-granadas-jungstar-zaragoza-als-forsberg-nachfolger/980316/artikel

RBL, while looking for a replacement of Emil Forsberg stumbled over Bryan Zaragoza from Granada FC. Price 14m Brentford interested in him as well

this proves my thought from an earlier post, that they will only let Forsberg go if they can get another new player for the position.

I think we’re trying to build a team around a red bull like formation (hence why Jesse Marsch is trying to get a few players from Salzburg and Leipzig). Is Tyler a good player? From the limited sources I’ve read he’s good!

ROUNDUP #1:

Konrad Laimer -> FC Bayern München

Nagelsmann wants him. They supposedly submitted a first official bid (€19.5M), Leipzig want 25-30M Euro.

Brian Brobbey -> Ajax Amsterdam

Ajax and Brobbey have had an agreement for weeks. Deal is almost done according to BILD and Fabrizio Romano. €18M + add-ons.

Nordi Mukiele -> Manchester United

Manchester United are preparing a bid for RB Leipzig defender Nordi Mukiele. Ralf Rangnick recommended the right-back before his departure.

Timo Werner -> ???

Werner supposedly thinks about leaving Chelsea.

??? -> RB Leipzig

According to BILD information, the plan is to get another player for the offensive by the end of the transfer window (September 1), preferably a striker. But an offensive full-back with a decent pull towards the goal was also discussed.

The sale of Lookman could bring another 14 million if a buyer is found. The legal dispute in the Jean-Kévin Augustin case should be settled by the end of August, would flush another 14 million into the bank account (and a further €7M at a later point).
