Transfer Speculation: Silva and Haidara Possibly Leaving - Considering the Next Forward Player to Join? - Jumping Together: Silva and Haidara in Action
RB Leipzig are making moves in the transfer market, with a focus on strengthening their attacking line after the departures of Yussuf Poulsen and Benjamin Sesko.
The German club is reportedly close to securing the signing of Brazilian striker Rômulo from Turkish Super Lig side Göztepe. Rômulo, 23, has agreed to a deal with Leipzig until 2030 and will wear the number 40 shirt. He had a strong previous season with Göztepe, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists in 33 games [1][2][3].
While there are no direct reports confirming Yussuf Poulsen's departure or a specific signing to replace him, it is confirmed that Rômulo is set to replace Benjamin Sesko.
André Silva has been linked with a move to Werder Bremen, but the details of his potential departure from Leipzig are yet to be confirmed. Ole Werner, the coach of RB Leipzig, is hoping for another striker to bolster their attack.
RB Leipzig is reportedly prepared to pay a severance to facilitate Silva's move to Werder Bremen. Another candidate for the vacant striker position is Danish striker Conrad Harde.
In other news, Amadou Haidara could leave RB Leipzig and join RB's sister club Paris FC in France. The sale of Xavi Simons to FC Chelsea is still pending, but the Champions League winners need to offload a few high-profile players to raise the estimated €70 million.
A swap deal involving Simons and Christopher Nkunku, who was previously a player for RB Leipzig, is unlikely. Timo Werner, Kevin Kampl, and Lukas Klostermann are mentioned as potential sales for RB Leipzig.
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig is also being linked with a move for Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, who was once mentored by Jürgen Klopp, and Fabio Silva from Wolverhampton Wanderers, although affordability might be an issue for the latter.
RB Leipzig are preparing for the DFB-Pokal match against SV Sandhausen, and it remains to be seen how their transfer activities will shape their squad for the upcoming season.
