A disappointing season that will bring a restless summer. Currently seventh from Bundesliga after having delivered a catastrophic campaign in the Champions League (32nd/36), the RB Leipzig said goodbye this weekend this weekend at its chances of playing the next Champions League after a draw against the Werder Bremen (0-0). Not even sure to finish European, the Saxon club is condemned to beat Stuttgart this Saturday while hoping for bad performances of Borussia Dortmund (against Kiel) and/or Mainz (against Bayer Leverkusen) during the 34th day. Not really enough to be optimistic in an exercise marked by the dismissal of coach Marco Rose and who will offer a restless summer with many executives on the start.
The Xavi Simons case
On the bench already, we will have to find another coach after the end of the temporary worker led by Zsolt Löw and Peter Krawietz. Thierry Henry was mentioned as Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) and Cesc Fabregas (Côme). It remains to be seen for who the RB Leipzig will move. If we can expect certain arrivals, we have also revealed an approach to Rennais Jérémy Jacquet, Leipzig should also sell and take important elements of his group. On the front line, there is obviously Xavi Simons (22 years old).
Arrived this summer from Paris Saint-Germain against 80 million euros (a sum raised during the year), the Dutch attacking midfielder has had a contrasting season. If sportingly, it is not so bad (10 goals and 8 assists in 32 matches), its internal attitude is disputed. So that the objective would now be to sell it and its price has been set at 80 million euros in order to recover the sum invested. An important figure which makes that at present no club has really manifested itself to believe Kicker. The German media also echoes three other major players who can leave.
Three important clauses
Another player to perform despite the poor performance of Leipzig, Benjamin Šeško (21), is him in a different situation. If the RB Leipzig would like to keep it, its performances make it difficult to remember. The Slovenian goalscorer has 21 goals and 6 offerings in 44 games this season. While his release clause reaches 80 million euros, he is followed by many European cadors. Indeed, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and FC Barcelona are in the footsteps of the former Red Bull Salzburg. His attachment friend Loïs Openda (25 years old) is not to be outdone. He also has a release clause located between 80 and 90 million euros and Leipzig does not close the door.
Less effective than last year, the Belgian striker remains precious for his team (13 goals and 11 offerings in 44 games). The old Lensois is also a player possibly leaving this summer. Leipzig would therefore have the possibility of double the sum bet (40M €) to tear it from the Artesian club. Finally, there is also the French defender Castello Lukeba (22) who could leave this summer. The defender trained at Olympique Lyonnais has finally become the perfect complement of Willi Orban in defense and even managed to get out of the game when he was positioned left lateral. At the start of the season, his name was mentioned on the side of Real Madrid before he extended until June 2029. Also announced in the past in the Premier League in Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, he has a release clause of 90 million euros. Four major players who can leave and the possible sum of 330 million euros that could happen, the RB Leipzig has missed its season, but has managed to promote and secure its talents.
