Reitz: Rocco Transfer to RB Leipzig
Rocco Reitz Transfer Update
“RB Leipzig appear to have taken the next step in their bid to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach captain Rocco Reitz,” a source close to the negotiations stated. This statement comes as Reitz, a 23-year-old central midfielder, has reportedly agreed to personal terms with the Bundesliga club.
The contract is set to run until 2031, marking a significant commitment from Leipzig as they look to bolster their squad. Reitz has been a standout player for the last 2.5 seasons at Gladbach, having played 96 games, scored eight goals, and provided seven assists.
Currently, RB Leipzig is in discussions with Borussia Mönchengladbach regarding the transfer fee. It is reported that Reitz has a release clause valued between €25 million and €28 million. However, Leipzig is reportedly unwilling to meet this clause and is seeking to negotiate a lower fee.
As the situation develops, it is noted that “it is now up to Leipzig to reach an agreement with Gladbach over a transfer fee.” The negotiations are critical as Leipzig aims to finalize the deal as soon as possible.
Reitz has featured in all but one Bundesliga game for Gladbach this season, contributing two assists to his team’s efforts. His performance has attracted interest from other clubs, including Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen, but Leipzig appears to be leading the race for his signature.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact transfer fee that Gladbach would accept, adding an element of uncertainty to the ongoing negotiations. As the clubs continue discussions, fans and analysts alike are keenly watching how this transfer saga unfolds.
