While RB Leipzig's sporting director Marcel Schäfer continues to work on the signings of Ridle Baku and Noah Okafor, one personnel matter is already fixed. The loan of Yannick Eduardo will be changed. The 18-year-old center forward, who has a contract with the Bundesliga club until June 30, 2027, will be loaned to Dutch second division club FC Emmen with immediate effect, RB announced. The loan to Dutch second-division club De Graafschap Doetinchem, for whom the former U19 player had been playing since last summer, ends at the same time.
Schäfer is also working on the signings of Wolfsburg's Baku and Okafor from AC Milan. Swiss striker Okafor, who only moved to Milan from FC Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2023, would be an alternative in the RB attack, as André Silva is set to leave the club. He should also improve the competitive situation in attack, where Benjamin Sesko and Loïs Openda, who are set to play, had major performance fluctuations last November.
