RB Leipzig renews interest in Mainz midfielder Nadiem Amiri

RB Leipzig has reportedly reignited its pursuit of Nadiem Amiri, a midfielder for Mainz. Following last summer's failed transfer, Leipzig is keen on adding the 29-year-old to strengthen their midfield. New head coach Martin Demichelis may utilize Amiri alongside Christoph Baumgartner, who is expected to be sidelined for several months due to injury. A deal's progress hinges on RB Leipzig's ability to offload players to create financial space, as Mainz holds no urgency to sell Amiri, who is under contract until 2028. Amiri has suggested uncertainty regarding his future with Mainz after the club's final match of the 2025/26 season.
