RB Leipzig has definitely been everywhere since the opening of the summer transfer window. He targeted Ligue 1 clubs, battling with RC Lens for the transfer of Loïs Openda, or with OL for that of Castello Lukeba. Each time, the German club is pushed to its limits, he who collected 60 M€ with the sale of Christopher Nkunku and who expects to hit the jackpot with the probable transfer of Josko Gvardiol, in the sights of Manchester City.
But he is also capable of going fast, very fast. Thus, according to information from The Team, an agreement has been reached with Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of central defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu. For an amount between 15 and 20 M€ depending on the bonuses. The player, he had previously traveled to Leipzig, at the end of June, to visit the facilities and discuss with this suitor. Bitshiabu also had the possibility of extending his contract with PSG, which ended in a year, and of being loaned in stride, which was the will of the Parisian leaders.
No time to hatch at PSG
Still considered a little tender, he casually lined up 17 appearances with the first team last season. His physical mover could not be missed on the ground. Him if, sometimes, errors of youth which however were not enough to mask his talent and his good margin of progress. RB Leipzig jumped at the chance and took the piece.
From a sporting point of view, this does not really impact PSG, which still counts on Marquinhos, Kimpembe and rookies Skriniar and Lucas Hernandez in its defensive sector. But this will once again raise the question of the place of young people in the Parisian project. Announced as a nugget, hatched in recent years, Bitshiabu will leave the capital club at only 18 years old.
