RB Leipzig got a lot of money for Christopher Nkunku, Dominik Szoboszlai and especially Josko Gvardiol and was able to go on a busy shopping spree in the summer. It was mainly young and promising players who came. We’ll take a look at how to do this Transfers have been achieved so far.
The young Dutchman came to RB Leipzig on loan from PSG. Even if the technically gifted midfielder cannot be signed permanently, RB did everything right. Simons started like a fire engine and enchanted the Bundesliga with goals, assists and tricks. Although he couldn’t quite maintain his level, he remained an offensive linchpin. Leipzig can be happy about the successful loan of the ten-man, at least for the time being.

Leipzig’s record transfer turned out to be an absolutely sensible investment. Openda impresses with his speed and goal instinct and has already scored eleven times in the Bundesliga. Above all, it is his consistently strong performances that make life so difficult for Timo Werner. Openda shows that expensive and risky businesses can be worthwhile. Leipzig would already have the opportunity to earn far more than the purchase price for the attacker.

Benjamin Sesko’s transfer is difficult to assess. The youngster has exceptional potential and would be a perfect fit for Lois Openda. So far he has mostly only been allowed to play as a joker. With seven goals in around 700 competitive minutes, his record is actually very solid, but not everything is going well for the tall center forward. But you have to remember that Sesko is only 20 years old and still has all the time in the world. So you can assume that the transfer fee of 24 million euros will pay off sooner or later.

The lending business has so far been unsatisfactory for everyone involved. The actual Liverpool player is just a substitute and hasn’t been able to tear up any trees yet. Although he has already played 15 competitive games, his record can be improved with 360 minutes played and zero scorer points. One could expect much more. In the summer we go back to the Reds, who would probably like to end the loan early.

Baumgartner hardly got a chance in the first part of the first half of the season and was therefore unable to show his potential. From the eighth matchday, the Austrian was able to record six scorer points in the Bundesliga with three goals and three assists. Baumgartner wasn’t cheap, of course, but he showed good signs and still had room for improvement. Accordingly, the obligation can be assessed as at least partially successful.

Lukeba was hired as Gvardiol’s successor. The 21-year-old Frenchman cannot yet match the performance level of his predecessor, but he is doing very well despite everything. Due to Orban’s injury, Lukeba had to take on responsibility in central defense early on and play week after week. That was of course good for his development. RB announced a transfer fee of 30 million euros, but the deal could definitely pay off.
Transfer Rating: 7/10
Nothing can be said about the 18-year-old Frenchman yet. The central defender suffered a torn medial ligament and only returned to the squad shortly before the winter break. However, he has not yet received a minute of action. El Chadaille Bitshiabu was considered one of the biggest central defender talents in Europe during the summer break, so the 15 million euros should be money well spent. However, you cannot submit a review at this time.

The central midfielder was only allowed to start on the first matchday against Bayern. He then only made five substitute appearances in the Bundesliga and appeared four times in the premier class. Seiwald reveals footballing weaknesses and hasn’t quite arrived yet. Of course, the 22-year-old can still improve, but he has not yet been able to prove that the transfer fee of 20 million euros was money well invested.
Transfer Rating: 3/10
Lenz came to Leipzig as a replacement for the left-back position, but has hardly been needed so far. He was only allowed to play one Champions League game from the start. However, Lenz basically doesn’t have the potential to really play a role in Leipzig. A young player could have been introduced there.
