RB Leipzig: High transfer income necessary? Financial fair play “no problem”

Many loan players on the cross-off list

Sport director Max Eberl sees the generation of transfer income to fulfill financial fair play and the successor regulation financial sustainability as unproblematic for RB Leipzig. “I can classify the topic very easily. Financial fair play wasn’t and isn’t a problem for us,” the 49-year-old told Kicker. According to “dpa” information, the cup winner must generate income on the transfer market this summer – it should be a sum of 100 million euros. Eberl did not comment on the amount.

The fact is that the upcoming move from Christopher Nkunku (25) to Chelsea will bring in around 65 million euros and the official announcement of the transfer should take place in the coming weeks. In addition, Leipzig wants to sell currently loaned players such as Angeliño (26; Hoffenheim), Alexander Sørloth (27; Real Sociedad), Ilaix Moriba (20; Valencia) and Tom Krauß (21; Schalke) with a cumulative market value of 38 million euros according to “dpa “- sell information for good. Dominik Szoboszlai (22), who was courted by Newcastle United, reportedly has an exit clause of 70 million euros in his contract.

For the coming season, the “Red Bulls” have already signed Nicolas Seiwald (22) and Benjamin Sesko (19) from Salzburg for 44 million euros. Further transfer activities depend primarily on whether Leipzig qualifies for the Champions League again. That would happen with a win at Bayern on Saturday.

RB Leipzig has high transfer earnings as an internal financial target

According to “Sky”, the rumored transfer income of 100 million euros is just an internal financial goal. In terms of UEFA regulations, there is neither a special financial corset nor are there any threats of sanctions, and RB Leipzig does not have to meet any special requirements.

The rules of financial sustainability will be gradually introduced over a period of three years up to 2025. From then on, clubs can only invest 70 percent of what they earn in the football business in the squad. In addition to compensation, this also includes salaries and consultant fees. An investor or external financier such as “Red Bull” will in future only be able to compensate for a maximum deficit of EUR 20 million per season, and a further EUR 10 million, subject to conditions, could be added.
