RB Leipzig ‘in advanced talks’ to sign Rocco Reitz

RB Leipzig are in advanced talks to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Rocco Reitz, Bild reports.

The move would not require direct talks with Gladbach, as Reitz can leave via a release clause believed to be around €20 million.

The 23-year-old is viewed as a potential replacement for Xaver Schlager, who is set to depart Leipzig when his contract expires this summer, a departure the club has recently confirmed.

Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt and Brighton & Hove Albion have also been linked with the midfielder.

Leipzig are additionally interested in Hertha BSC’s 16-year-old Kennet Eichhorn, who reportedly has a €12 million release clause, though competition for the youngster is strong.
