Selling is harder than buying, they say. The previous record of RB Leipzig is more than impressive! The club has already earned around 40 million euros through sales.
The numbers: minus the New York stake, 15 million euros remain from the transfer of Tyler Adams (23) to Leeds. Brian Brobbey’s (20) move to Ajax will bring up to €20m. In addition, RB has collected a further 5 million euros through the lending and sale of top talents (including Sidney Raebiger/Fürth, Tom Krauss/Schalke, Eric Martel/Cologne).
But what does RB do with all the money?
According to BILD information, the plan is to get another player for the offensive by the end of the transfer (September 1), preferably a striker. But an offensive full-back with a decent pull towards the goal was also discussed.
In addition, part of the money has already been used. Midfielder Xaver Schlager (24) came from Wolfsburg for 12 million euros. Goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt (20/Genk) was signed for 10 million euros as an anticipation for 2024 at the latest. The contract extension of Christopher Nkunku (24) also costs money, the superstar now earns almost three times as much (8 million euros).

Internally, one still hopes that Ademola Lookman (24) will be sold to England, which should bring at least 12 million euros.
The legal dispute with Leeds over the Augustin millions should also be over by the end of August. Would mean €14m immediately and another €7m as the last installment by September 30th.
That’s how Liverpool’s lightning visit works
This test will be a very special game! On Thursday (7:15 p.m., live on Servus TV), Leipzig welcomes Champions League finalists Liverpool to the sold-out Red Bull Arena.
The game is part of the €60m transfer of Naby Keita (27) in the summer of 2018. The English are at their best.

And this is how the lightning trip works: On Thursday, the team lands in Leipzig with coach Jürgen Klopp (55) and checks in at the “Steigenberger” in the city center. After the game, the team stays for one night and flies back to the training camp in Saalfelden via Salzburg on Friday morning. Liverpool are still testing against RB Salzburg on July 27th.
