A purchase option is not expected to be included in the proposed deal, with Leipzig focused on the defender’s development.

The Saxony club have not given up on the young central defender in the long term and still believe in his potential.

That stance likely explains why Leipzig will continue to cover part of his salary while he plays a significant role for the Ligue one club.
