Reitz: Rocco Transfer Update: RB Leipzig Advances Negotiations
RB Leipzig Advances Negotiations
“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 development comes as Reitz, a 23-year-old central midfielder, has reportedly agreed to personal terms with the club.
Reitz’s contract with RB Leipzig is expected to run until 2031, indicating the club’s long-term commitment to the player. However, the next crucial step involves RB Leipzig reaching an agreement with Borussia Mönchengladbach over the transfer fee.
Currently, discussions are ongoing regarding a transfer fee, with Reitz having a reported release clause of €25-28 million. “It is now up to Leipzig to reach an agreement with Gladbach over a transfer fee,” the source added, highlighting the urgency of the negotiations.
While Borussia Mönchengladbach has struggled to compete at the top of the Bundesliga, Reitz has emerged as a standout player over the last 2.5 seasons. He has played 96 games for Gladbach, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists, showcasing his value to the team.
In addition to RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen were also linked with Reitz, but it appears Leipzig has taken the lead in securing his services. The club is reportedly aiming to push the price down from the release clause, which could influence the final agreement.
Reitz has featured in all but one Bundesliga game for Gladbach this season, further solidifying his reputation as a key player. His average performance includes covering 11 kilometers per game, demonstrating his work rate and commitment on the pitch.
As negotiations continue, the football community is watching closely to see if RB Leipzig can finalize the transfer of Rocco Reitz. Details remain unconfirmed, but the interest from Leipzig signals a significant move in the current transfer window.
