Including raised youth players, RB Leipzig is currently making the significantly largest Bundesliga squad in the transfer market database-38 players in number. “That will certainly change,” announced coach Ole Werner in a “Kicker“-InterView and dealt with some possible departure candidates.
“Currently” is “the group quite large”, stated the 37-year-old, which was switched to the Saxons before the season of Werder Bremen. Six entrances around Johan Bakayoko (22) plus four U19 talents such as Robert Ramsak (18) have six departures so far. In addition to the obvious selling candidates Benjamin Sesko (22, MAN United or Newcastle) and Xavi Simons (22, Chelsea) – according to “Sky” there is currently more train behind a transfer of the former – Werner was primarily about players who no longer play a major role in his plans.
Silva to Haidara: Who should or may leave RB Leipzig
“I try to be direct with the players and to communicate openly,” emphasized Werner. The royal returners Eljif Elmas (25), Timo Werner (29) and André Silva (29) had taken up their role in the team “very professional”: “Nobody has put themselves in the training camp. Not every decision is made, that is completely clear. Nevertheless, they have to be hit.”

Silva prefers a return to his previous rental club Werder Bremen, should agree with the green-whites. The negotiations between Leipzig and the North Germans, according to the “dike room”, are difficult for 7 million euros due to the rosed annual content of the Portuguese – even if the professional is ready to cut out. Werder therefore also has his sights on other storm candidates.
With Elmas and Werner, the situation seems even more difficult: Torino wants to borrow the offensive all -rounder from northern Macedonia again, but sell RB. A buyer is therefore not in sight for the time being, reports the “kicker”. Talks between striker Werner and partner club New York Red Bulls have so far not led to the goal, even if the offer was the best at the end of July, according to US reporter Tom Bogert. “But our task is also to ensure that these players are still well prepared, whatever the task,” said coach Werner. “Whether you stay with us or maybe a door for you somewhere else that you want to go through. And we try to cover this through training sessions.”
The midfielder Amadou Haidara (27) and Kevin Kampl (34) and defender Lukas Klostermann (29) were also without a game practice in the last tests. “The club side also spoke to the players beforehand. Everyone also behaves extremely professionally. Precisely because they are deserving players who have significantly shaped the extraordinary path of RB Leipzig, it is all the more important that you are open and transparent,” says Werner. Haidara was associated at the weekend by the French newspaper “L’équipe” with the financially strong Ligue-1 promoted Paris FC. The club is also part of the Red Bull cosmos.
Ole Werner is planning at RB Leipzig with Willi Orbán & Co.
After record player Yussuf Poulsen (31, HSV) has already gone, Werner wants to rely on an RB-experienced foundation from the players mentioned. The 37-year-old explicitly called Captain Willi Orbán (32), DFB international David Raum (27) and the Xaver Schlager, who was seriously injured in the past (27). It is very important for such a young team that there are players who can “give stability” in the event of performance fluctuations. “You need boys who are reliable who have already experienced everything. Our endeavor is to keep an axis to maintain around which you build around.”
