RB Leipzig would like to sign Ridle Baku from VfL Wolfsburg as a replacement for the seriously injured international Benjamin Henrichs. According to a report in "Kicker", the 26-year-old informed VfL of his intention to move this month. Both clubs are in talks, but the transfer fee is still being discussed.
Baku's contract expires in the summer, so Leipzig would like to sign him for a correspondingly low price. According to the report, RB sporting director Marcel Schäfer has submitted an offer of around three million euros to his former club Wolfsburg, but this sum is apparently not enough for Lower Saxony. Their managing director Peter Christiansen also emphasized that a replacement must be found.
