A report of the “L’EquipeAccording to the French, after the transfer of Nordi Mukiele (24), they could find what they were looking for again at RB Leipzig.

The newspaper reported on Tuesday that there were no developments in the negotiations between PSG and Inter. The French have reportedly denied an upcoming new offer for Skriniar. According to reports, the Nerazzurri are not deviating from their demands of 70 million euros. A move of this magnitude would make Skriniar the third most expensive purchase in the club’s history from PSG. With the Skriniar deal proving difficult, Luís Campos, who has been a strategic advisor at PSG since this season, is said to have agreed on an alternative solution with Simakan. According to “L’Équipe”, there have been initial talks between the clubs. RB Leipzig, who took the defensive talent from RC Strasbourg Alsace last summer for 15 million euros and gave him a contract until 2026, should not rule out a sale, but announced a sum of 40 million euros. Ibrahima Konaté (23) switched from the Red Bulls to Liverpool last year for the same amount.

Simakan’s market value is currently EUR 22 million after an increase of EUR 4 million in the latest Bundesliga update, which only Josko Gvardiol (20) surpasses among the defenders within the team. In view of the week-long absence of Lukas Klostermann (26) and the fact that coach Domenico Tedesco is currently only three regular central defenders with Gvardiol, Simakan and Willi Orbán (29) available, it seems questionable whether Leipzig would give up Simakan without first for to provide a replacement.

“I see it as a very big problem if one of the core players in defense falls away, even if you find a replacement that is of equal value from a purely sporting point of view. The chain must be broken in. (…) If you could sell Mo for a lot of money, it’s not worth the risk,” wrote TM user “GrazerAK1902” in the forum about a possible farewell to Simakan. Most recently, with the Klostermann injury, there were already rumors that the Saxons could step up their game again on the defensive.

The chain must be broken in. In fact, last season we only had one departure (Oops, Ibra was mostly injured) and two arrivals, who integrated surprisingly quickly, which is not a matter of course. The two had also taken part in the complete preparation.
So even if you Mo for seh…
