RB Leipzig ‘to finalise’ three deals as window enters final stretch | OneFootball

RB Leipzig are pushing to complete late-window moves for Chelsea striker Marc Guiu and Roma midfielder Neil El Aynaoui, with both reportedly on course to join.

Kicker reports the Guiu transfer is set at around 17m including realistic bonuses, while El Aynaoui would arrive on a season-long loan with a purchase option near 25m.

The acceleration follows Christopher Nkunku’s recent return, with new head coach Martin Demichelis still needing extra attacking options after Yan Diomande’s 125m switch to Real Madrid.

Leipzig beat Borussia Monchengladbach 3-0 on Saturday in Demichelis’s first Bundesliga home match. The Argentine later called it an unforgettable day and thanked the supporters.

Conrad Harder is poised to join Racing Strasbourg on loan for the 2026/27 campaign, with no purchase option. Strasbourg are expected to cover his full salary, and a medical and formalities remain before confirmation.

The 21-year-old Dane never secured an undisputed starting role, but produced eight goal contributions across 1,081 minutes in the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal. He prioritised regular football amid interest from Leeds United, Sevilla, Galatasaray and Lazio.

Finalising El Aynaoui depends on sporting executive Marcel Schafer creating space in a crowded squad. Leipzig have yet to place Arthur Vermeeren, negotiations with RC Lens over El Chadaille Bitshiabu remain unresolved, and veteran Lukas Klostermann could also move on.
