Summary

RB Leipzig aims to sell 6 to 8 players as it deals with an overloaded squad ahead of the 2026/27 season. The team recently backed out of a deal for Hoffenheim attacker Fisnik Asllani due to medical concerns. With talent depth, Leipzig seeks to streamline its roster rather than add new players, maintaining internal guidelines limiting significant transfer fees. Offers for departures are now critical as the club looks to rebalance its lineup.
