Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Wednesday that RB Leipzig have renewed interest in Nadiem Amiri of Mainz, though no transfer has been confirmed.
  • New coach Martín Demichelis plans to use two holding midfielders, a system that could accommodate Amiri alongside long-term absentee Christoph Baumgartner.
  • Amiri is 29, under contract with Mainz until 2028, and is valued at about €17 million after a strong 2025/26 season.
  • Leipzig has made clear it wants to sell players before buying and is targeting high-value departures such as Yan Diomande to raise transfer funds.
  • The club is finalizing staff and squad decisions ahead of pre-season in mid-July while monitoring discontent among players like Benjamin Henrichs.
