RB Leipzig Advances in Rocco Reitz Transfer
“RB Leipzig appear to have taken the next step in their bid to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach captain Rocco Reitz,” a source close to the negotiations stated. This development comes as Reitz, a 23-year-old central midfielder, has reportedly agreed to personal terms with the club.
Reitz’s contract with RB Leipzig is set to run until 2031, reflecting the club’s long-term commitment to the player. However, the next hurdle lies in reaching an agreement with Borussia Mönchengladbach over the transfer fee.
As negotiations unfold, it has been reported that Reitz has a release clause of €25-28 million. “It is now up to Leipzig to reach an agreement with Gladbach over a transfer fee,” the source added, indicating the urgency of the situation.
Reitz has been a standout player for the last 2.5 seasons at Gladbach, having played 96 games, scoring eight goals, and providing seven assists. His performance has not gone unnoticed, with other clubs such as Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen also linked to the midfielder.
In the current season, Reitz has featured in all but one Bundesliga game for Gladbach, showcasing his importance to the team. “While Borussia are unable to compete in the upper echelons of the Bundesliga, Reitz has been a standout player for the last 2.5 seasons,” the source noted, highlighting his contributions.
As RB Leipzig aims to finalize the transfer, they are reportedly looking to negotiate the fee down from the release clause. The outcome of these discussions will determine the next steps for both Reitz and the clubs involved.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact figures being discussed, but the interest in Reitz continues to grow as the transfer window progresses.
