Report: Leipzig Inquire About Moussa Dembele

 

RB Leipzig are interested in adding an elite striker to their young corp and could do so with Olympique Lyonnais player Moussa Dembele. The report comes from L'Equipe and notes that Leipzig have inquired but are wary of the potential 50 million Euro fee.

Leipzig have gone on record to say that they will not spend all of the record transfer fee for Timo Werner. However, a player like Dembele could be worth it since he is already a proven commodity in one of Europe's top leagues. Currently, Leipzig are in search of a new lead striker. Despite signing Hwang Hee-chan, the team are still looking for options to deepen their pool.

Dembele represents a chance to make a major splash in the transfer market. The 24-year-old has been a force for Lyon over the past two seasons, scoring 42 goals in 89 appearances. He has been sought after by several teams in the past, but Leipzig's current situation could be enticing. Not only would he be the star of the club, but he could also solidify the East German club's status as an annual entrant into the UEFA Champions League.

More than likely Lyon will have to accept something less than 50 million for a transfer. Dembele is still under contract until 2023 but the movement of players like Jadon Sancho and Werner could force the player's hand should the salary be significantly increased.

    He'd be a very good signing, but can't see Leipzig spending big money this summer if they're not commiting to Angelino or Schick

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
