RB Leipzig 'to consider' El Mala bid after Dortmund pull out | OneFootball

RB Leipzig are weighing up a move for 1. FC Köln’s 19-year-old Said El Mala after Borussia Dortmund pulled out of the race.

Bild reports that Leipzig are considering an offer of €50 million guaranteed, plus €5 million in achievable bonuses and a further €5 million tied to exceptional achievements. A sell-on clause is also under discussion.

Any bid still requires supervisory board approval, and a decision on whether to proceed is expected later this week.

El Mala is viewed as a potential replacement for Yan Diomande, who has sealed a big-money switch to Real Madrid.

Leipzig have already agreed personal terms with Racing Strasbourg’s Diego Moreira, 22, but with the French top-flight club seeking €70 million, the Bundesliga side may turn to El Mala instead.
