RB Leipzig set a new Bundesliga record this summer with spending of 151.5 million euros. Nevertheless, the squad planning of the “Red Bulls” does not seem to have come to an end with more than a week before the transfer deadline. According to consistent media reports in Belgium, Stade Rennes has received an offer from Leipzig amounting to 30 million euros for defender Arthur Theate (23). In the room there is a loan including the obligation to buy.
Like the newspaperNieuwsblad“ reported, as of early Tuesday evening, Rennes had not yet responded to the offer. In the case of the French first division club, the expected conclusion of the deal from Jérémy Doku (21) to Manchester City is the dominant topic.

Theate could then be the next top performer that the Breton club sells for a sum above the purchase price at the time. Among others, Wolfsburg’s new signing Lovro Majer (25) is part of Rennes’ sales this summer, which have brought in more than 80.5 million euros. The bottom line is that the transfer balance is €43m, which is only surpassed by two clubs in Ligue 1.
According to the newspaper, Theate is open to a change. The Belgian international came to Rennes from Bologna last year for €19m and is under contract there until 2026. In his debut season in the French upper house, the left footer knew how to convince, increased his market value from 15 million to 22 million euros and is traded in addition to Leipzig, Fulham and Liverpool. In Leipzig, Theate would be the fifth central defender, including the two newcomers Castello Lukeba (20) and El Chadaille Bitshiabu (18), also from Ligue 1.
