Harder leaves Sporting for a multi-million salary at Leipzig | OneFootball

The transfer of Conrad Harder from Sporting to Leipzig happened right at the close of the transfer window in Germany. The deal brought the lions 24 million euros fixed, potentially reaching 30 million depending on objectives, and secured the Nordic forward a millionaire salary: 12 million euros over five seasons.

The 20-year-old player was very close to signing with Rennes, Milan and even Chelsea, but ended up moving to the Bundesliga. Sporting demanded to have a substitute, in this case Fotis Ioannidis, confirmed before releasing Conrad Harder, which is why the move happened at the last moment.

Besides the amount paid for the transfer, Leipzig also secured 15% of the capital gain in a future sale. A significant investment in a player who is seen in Germany as a promising talent with great potential for growth, and whose departure ended up providing the lions with a significant financial gain.

This was an important investment by the Germans in a young forward with great potential for growth, but it wasn't limited to the transfer fee; it also extended to the Nordic's salary. Now he will have to fight for a starting position with Rômulo Cardoso and Timo Werner.

Arriving in the summer of 2024 from Nordsjaelland, the young player made a total of 52 appearances wearing the lion's jersey. In the 1,669 minutes played, he scored 12 goals and provided seven assists. His last goal for the green and whites came during the trip to Madeira, in the 4-1 victory against Nacional.
