RB Leipzig: Access to Serbia's football talent Maksimovic!
RB Leipzig is planning a remarkable transfer market offensive in which three new players are to be signed. The club has targeted the talents Johan Bakayoko from PSV Eindhoven, Yan Diomande from Spanish second division club CV Leganés and Andrija Maksimovic from Red Star Belgrade. These new additions are intended to help strengthen the team for the coming season after Leipzig only finished seventh last season and missed out on the international starting places. So far the club has only released Yussuf Poulsen, who moved to Hamburger SV.
The transfer of Andrija Maksimovic in particular is likely to cause a stir. According to information from Borken newspaper received a contract until 2030, with a transfer fee of 14 million euros. This could make Maksimovic the most expensive sale in Serbian football history. He is seen by those responsible as a central element of the future team, while Bakayoko and Diomande should be used in the wing positions.
Strategy and changes in the squad
The squad restructuring is part of a strategic realignment at RB Leipzig. The club wants to focus more on talented, developing players rather than already established stars. This also illustrates the idea of letting go of several experienced players in order to create space in the squad. In the last few days, the three highly talented newcomers were signed without any international commitment from the club, which is loud Transfer market represents a positive development.
However, the question remains how these transfers can be financed. RB traditionally thrives on one or two big sales campaigns to manage the commitments for new talent. A promising sale could be that of striker Benjamin Šeško, who is on the radar of those responsible at RB Leipzig. However, previous interest in him has so far been put on hold due to a high transfer fee.
The upcoming transfers and the associated changes in the squad show that RB Leipzig is determined to reposition itself and rely on young talent in order to achieve higher goals again in the Bundesliga.
