RB Leipzig have completed the first transfer since their new coach Ole Werner took up his post. Max Finkgräfe comes to Saxony from newly promoted 1. FC Köln and signs a contract with the Bundesliga club until 2030.
According to reports, Leipzig will transfer around four million euros to FC. The 21-year-old Finkgräfe will act as a backup for international David Raum in the left-back position.
Finkgräfe joined the youth ranks of 1. FC Köln in 2021. Last season, he appeared in 16 competitive matches for the second division champions. The Saxons are facing a major shake-up ahead of the season without European soccer.
